Pour sugar over blackberries in separate dish and let sit. Melt butter in saucepan. Heat oven to 365 degrees. Sift flour. Mix flour, baking powder, and milk. Mix in about half of the melted butter, stirring as you mix. Pour batter into ungreased glass baking dish. Pour the rest of the butter over the top of the batter in the dish. Carefully stir in the blackberries with the now-melted sugar in the separate dish. Spoon blackberries and sugar over batter in baking dish. Bake for about 40 minutes or until slightly browned. Serve with powdered sugar on top or with ice cream.
I use a crock
pot. On the first "day" (time period), put some onions (I like to use a
bunch of different kinds -- yellow, white, green, purple) and some garlic
and shallots into some water and start it cooking. Add a little
basil, paprika, salt, pepper, and parsley.
Then I get a little creative -- remember -- on a small scale... a little brown sugar, a dash of lemon juice and soy sauce, a drop of honey, that kinda thing. Make sure you have plenty of onions. Now, if you like a little meat in the broth besides some larger chunks of meat, then at this point, you can also add some pork and/or chicken. Don't put beef in it or it will smell funny. First, boil the pork/chicken in a seperate pot and then debone/defat it. This meat will cook into the broth.
Then grate up a carrot or two really fine and mash a SMALL tomato and put that in. Add some celery and let this all cook down. You will know when it's done when the onions don't float anymore.
While this is happening, be soaking some beans... maybe start soaking them sooner. Get some of that 13 bean soup mix -- the dried beans in a bag. Pick out the garbonzos and the butter beans... unless you really like them. When the onions cook down, add the beans (beginning "day" 2). Add some boiled pork and/or chicken -- broken into whatever size pieces you like.
Now, by the time the beans are done, everyone around here has the stuff et up, but that's ok if that happens. If not, "day" 3 begins. Soak some potatoes in some water for a little while to get some of the starch out, and then add them after the beans are done. You can also add some of those big, wavy pasta noodles.
Well, that's about it. eat up!
Mix pumpkin, sugar, brown sugar, eggs, spice, and flour. Add milk. Pour half into each pie crust. Heat oven to 425°. Cook pies for 15 minutes at 425 degrees. Reduce heat to 350°and cook 45 more minutes.
Soak beans and cook in crockpot on high until done (soft). Remove most of bean juice and add water. Cook hamburger meat in frying pan until done. Add meat to beans. Put tomatoes, peppers, and half of onion in food processor and process until they are mush. Chop other half of onion (for bigger pieces). Add onion, tomatoes, peppers to beans and meat. Add garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add more chili powder to taste. Cook on high in crock pot for 4-5 hours or on low for 6-8 hours.
Meringue
3 egg whites
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
Mix sugar, milk, flour, chocoate square, vanilla, and egg yolks in a saucepan. Heat gradually, stirring constantly until fairly thick. For meringue, put egg whites in glass bowl (make sure there is no water, oil, etc. in bowl; make sure no yolk is in whites) and mix with electric mixer until peaks form. Continue to mix and add sugar and vanilla. Mix another minute or so. Prepare crust and poke a few holes in the bottom with a fork, heat in oven till slightly browned. As soon as chocolate is thickened, pour into crusts and IMMEDIATELY spread meringue on top. Brown in 350 degree oven until meringue is slightly browned.
Boil macaroni (add a small amount of salt to water) until done. While macaroni is cooking, chop or shred Velveeta into casserole dish. Make white sauce by mixing milk, flour, salt, and pepper, and simmer on stovetop, contantly stirring, until slightly thick. Pour cooked macaroni over shredded Velveeta. Carefully, stir cheese into macaroni (cheese will still be in chunks). Break cheese slices in half and use to cover top of casserole. Pour white sauce over the top. Shake dish slightly to distribute sauce. Bake in oven at 350° until sauce bubbles.
Boil chicken in water in pot on stovetop until done (meat will break away from bone with fork). Remove chicken from broth, cool, and remove bone, gristle, etc. Return meat to broth. Skim fat from broth (make sure and remove as much as possible). Turn heat back on high under chicken and broth. Add 8 cups of milk to broth. Add a small amount of salt and pepper. Make dumplings by mixing BisQuick and 2/3 cup milk. When broth begins to boil, reduce heat to a low boil, and begin dropping spoonfuls of dumpling dough into broth. Vary the dough sizes. Sprinkle some salt and pepper over the top. Make sure that broth is not boiling too hard or the dumplings will fall apart. Simmer for 10 minutes with no lid. Put lid on pot and simmer for 10 more minutes. Done!
Layer bananas and Nilla Wafers in big bowl. Put layer of Wafers on bottom and top. Mix sugar, egg, flour, and milk in saucepan. Heat, stirring constantly, until slightly thick. Pour over bananas and wafers.
