Frosted Banana Bars
15x10x1-inch pan

An Excellent way to get rid of ripe bananas and it really is good. I cut
the frosting recipe in half as it was too rich with the full recipe. I also
added a few chocolate chips to the batter before baking. I got the recipe
from 1995 Taste of Home Annual Recipes and it was submitted by Karen Dryak,
Niobrara, Nebraska..

Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas, (about 3 medium)
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
4 cups confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla

In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Beat in eggs, bananas and
vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture
and mix well. Pour into a greased 15x10x1-inch baking pan. Bake at 350°
for 25 minutes or until bars test done. Cool.
For Frosting, cream butter and cream cheese in a mixing bowl. Gradually add
confectioners' sugar and vanilla; beat well. spread over bars. 3 dozen
bars.

8. French-Country Onion Tart
Posted by: "Sandy U." sandyu42@tampabay.rr.com sandyu33781
Mon Aug 25, 2008 9:08 am (PDT)
French-Country Onion Tart

1 pre-made pie crust (Pillsbury is one brand)
5 slices of bacon
3 Tbl of butter
2 large sweet onions (Vidalia work great). Slice very thinly. Use a mandolin
on level 1 if you have one.
4 eggs
3/4 cup of whipping cream
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 tsp of grated nutmeg
A pinch or two of cayenne (optional)

Unroll your pastry crust and place it gently into a 10" fluted tart pan with
removable bottom. Squish the edges of the crust gently up the sides. Prick
bottom with a fork in several spots. Place in a 375 degree oven and bake for
9 minutes. It will be a light beige and dry.

While the pastry is baking, fry your bacon. When it's light brown and
crisping remove the bacon and dice. If you get some "teeny bits" don't toss
them. You can use those too.

Pour out the bacon grease but don't wash the pan. Add butter and onions.
Saute onions until loose and just beginning to brown. Stir often.

In a bowl, whip the eggs and cream. Add the salt, pepper, nutmeg and
cayenne. Just make sure the eggs are well broken up and fully mixed. Let
stand until ready to fill your tart.

Remove the tart from the oven. Set the tart pan on top of a cookie sheet so
it's sitting inside the pan. Spread the bacon bits on the bottom of the
tart. Add the onions and spread them around so they cover the bottom of the
tart. Now, slowly pour in your cream mixture. Careful not to overflow the
tart. Depending on how large your onions are you might have a bit of
cream/egg mixture left over. Just toss it or save for scrambled eggs.
Carefully transfer the tart to a 350 degree oven. Bake for 50 - 55 minutes
until the tart begins to brown on top and the when you shift the tart
slightly it doesn't jiggle in the middle.

Remove tart from oven. If the rest of dinner is ready you can serve it now.
You can also let it sit on the counter and reheat it a bit later. Although
leftovers taste great, after it's been in the refrigerator, the crust will
lose some crispness so I don't recommend baking it very much ahead. Try to
bake it while you are having cocktails before dinner.

10. PRINCIPLES FOR FREEZING VEGGIES:
Posted by: "Sandy U." sandyu42@tampabay.rr.com sandyu33781
Mon Aug 25, 2008 9:09 am (PDT)
PRINCIPLES FOR FREEZING VEGGIES:

1. The food item must be freezable. Peas freeze;
cucumbers do not.

2. The variety must be suitable. Garden peas, for
example, freeze better than peas grown for canning.

3. The raw product must be first-class. Freezing
preserves defects as well as superior quality.

4. Handling between field and plant must be as prompt
as possible.

5. Natural enzymes must be inactivated by blanching.

6. Freezing must be fast enough to ensure quality,
yet economical enough to be competitive.

7. The plant must be kept sanitary and the line clean
to prevent contamination by molds, yeasts, and bacteria.

8. Packaging must ensure that no moisture is lost during
a year's storage.

9. Storage temperatures must be uniform

You aren't supposed to put in IN the grain !!!!!!

You put a small amount near where you see an ant trail. Done correctly,
there is no contamination and no danger.

Horrors !!! Imagine spraying pesticide on your foodstuffs.. ..

- Oh. We do that all the time, don't we ?
