Twisted Sister Recipes

Steps:

• Peel & slice cucumbers in 1/2 in thick slices. Then half ea slice & transfer all slices to a lrg mixing bowl (See note).
• Roughly dice red onion & add to the bowl.
• Quarter tomatoes, remove seeds, rough dice the tomato "meat" & add to the bowl.
• Thinly slice 1/2 green pepper, cut slices in 1 in strips & add to the bowl.
• Toss prepared "veggies" to achieve a good distributional mix.
• Add last 6 ingredients to bowl, mix well & refrigerate at least 2 hrs (stirring at least once to redistribute ingredients).
• Notes: The cucumber cut is esp important. If thinly sliced, most cucumbers wilt & do not retain their crunch. -- When all ingredients have been combined, the mixture will appear dry & lack a creamy texture or appearance. DO NOT PANIC - that will begin to change almost immediately.
• Note added 7/24/06: In response to reviewer comments, the amt of salt has been reduced by half. If you reduce further, you will likely lose any salt component in the mix.

Steps:

• Spread both sides of a roll with mayonnaise. On bottom, layer turkey, bacon, cheddar, avocado, tomato and lettuce. Cover with top half of roll. Slice, and serve.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients. Store in airtight containers in a freezer till ready to use.
• NOTES: I needed an average of 3 cups trail mix for 5 bottled gifts, so I picked 10 items X 1½ cups = 15 cups. For the limes, I sliced thinly, candied them using a recipe Neta here at RZ found for me at another site & then cut them in sml pieces. I wanted to use red cinnamon candies for the red colour & tasty flavour, but I can only get them in the US. I'd never eaten the cereal I used till I came to Iceland, but it's a crunchy, sweet, cinnamon coated wafer type cereal I like. Any cereal favourite can be used if it's "sturdy" enough to hold up in the mix (like Chex does). There are really no rules for this except have fun!
• PIC NOTE: Altho not the season now, I posted a pic to show the "prototype".

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 F . Grease an 8x8 baking pan & set aside.
• Stir the all-purpose flour, corn flour, salt & baking powder together in a mixing bowl.
• Add eggs, sour cream & vegetable oil to the dry ingredients & mix well with a whisk. You may use a hand-held mixer on a low setting if you wish (I did).
• Fold in the creamed corn until well-distributed.
• Pour into the greased baking dish & bake 25-28 minutes or until it tests done. I suggest the longer time if you are at all in doubt.
• Allow to cool until it cuts easily into 9 square pieces. Serve & enjoy!
• NOTE: For those of you who have cornmeal & prefer using it, this is 1 of the few recipes where cornmeal & corn flour can be swapped in the stated amounts. The texture will change somewhat, but not in a bad way. :-).
