PEG BRACKEN'S IRISH SODA BREAD ADAPTED

This is Peg Bracken's Irish Soda Bread from The Complete I Hate to Cook Book adapted to my family's needs. I've increased it by half again to put it into an 8" square pan like cornbread instead of making a round loaf, used half whole wheat flour, and decreased the fat a bit. An excellent accompaniment to corned beef and cabbage, BBQ pork, sausage, or pork. Its particularly handy if you've got an extra mouth or two and aren't quite sure that things will go around because its easy, fast, and inexpensive but tastes like something you made up special for the guests. Note -- sour milk is not spoiled milk -- its sour like sour cream. Since pasteurized milk does not sour properly you make it by adding a tbs of vinegar to each cup of milk and letting it stand for 5 minutes. You could substitute buttermilk.

Steps:

  • Make the sour milk by adding 1 1/2 tbs vinegar to 1 1/2 cups milk.
  • Grease an 8x8 pan well.
  • Mix the dry ingredients together in a bowl. Mix in the oil until crumbly and meal-like.
  • Mix in raisins and caraway seed.
  • Add sour milk. Mix well. You will have a soft, biscuit-like dough rather than a batter.
  • Bake at 350°F 35-45 minutes or until done.
  • Note -- this can be dropped from a spoon and baked as biscuits instead if that better suits your needs. Increase the heat to 400°F and decrease the cooking time to 8-12 minutes according to how big you made them.

PORK CHOPS AND ZUCCHINI A LA PEG BRACKEN

Family Circle published this Peg Bracken recipe years after she wrote her "I Hate to Cook" books. I've altered the cooking times slightly, but nothing else. My vegetable-averse son avoided the zucchini, but loved the chops; my daughter used to call before she came home from college for a weekend, to ask if I would make this for dinner. Heck, it even wrung a compliment out of my father-in-law. We like it served with rice (a nice "sponge" for the vegetables and cooking liquid.)

Pork Chops and Zucchini a La Peg Bracken image

Steps:

  • Combine the pork chop breading ingredients - flour, Parmesan cheese, salt, dill weed and pepper -in a plastic or small paper bag. Shake the pork chops in the mixture and SAVE WHAT'S LEFT IN THE BAG. (Can you tell I didn't do that one time?) Brown the chops on both sides in a little bit of oil in a skillet large enough for the chops to nestle together in a single layer. If you choose a pan you can also serve in, life is even easier. Once they're browned and "nestled", slice the two onions and spread them over the chops; add 1/3 cup of water, cover the pan and simmer over low heat for 25 minutes. Remove the cover and add the zucchini, sliced (I slice it 1/2" to 3/4" thick). Now go back to that bag of ingredients that you've saved; add the additional 3 Tb Parmesan cheese, the 1/2 tsp paprika and the 1/2 tsp dill weed. Shake it up to mix it all together and sprinkle the concoction over everything in the pan. DON'T STIR. Just let it sit there on top of the zucchini. Replace the cover and simmer for another 15 minutes. All done. Serve "as is.".

4 -6 pork chops (bone-in or boneless, doesn't matter)
2 -3 zucchini
2 medium onions (I prefer plain old yellow onions for this recipe)
3 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon dill weed
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 tablespoons parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon dill weed

OVERNIGHT MACAROONS ALA PEG BRACKEN

These are an easy alternative to coconut or almond macaroons. This is similar to another overnight macaroon recipe, but that one uses more sugar. Try this really good cookie. Prep time includes overnight blending.

Skid Row Stroganoff image

Steps:

  • Start cooking those noodles, first dropping a bullion cube into the noodle water.
  • Brown the garlic, onion, and crumbled beef in the oil.
  • Add the flour, salt, paprika, and mushrooms, stir, and let it cook five minutes while you light a cigarette and stare sullenly at the sink.
  • Then add the soup and simmer it--in other words, cook on low flame under boiling point--ten minutes.
  • Now stir in the sour cream--keeping the heat low, so it won't curdle--and let it all heat through.
  • To serve it, pile the noodles on a platter, pile the Stroganoff mix on top of the noodles, and sprinkle chopped parsley around with a lavish hand.
  • I copied it word for word.
