Knitters field trip

The clever ladies at Flying Fingers knitting store have thought up a very fun idea. They shuttle knitters from NYC out to their shop in the burbs...for free.

Recipes

Perhaps I didn't make myself clear...you were suppose list recipe's that you make.
And if you guys make all of that complicated stuff, well...wow.

Actually I don't care that you just listed your favorite things to eat.

That's fun too!!!

Sandy sent her favorite appetizer recipe! Thank you Sandy!

Here's my favorite appetizer recipe:

Taco Turkey Tortilla Pinwheels


8 Burrito-size flour tortillas
8 ounces sour cream
1 package taco seasoning mix
1 pound deli turkey sliced thin
8 ounces finely shredded Mexican blend cheese

Mix taco seasoning mix and sour cream. Spread evenly over 8 tortillas. Top
with turkey and cheese. Roll up each tortilla tightly into a log.
Refrigerate logs for an hour, or until a few minutes before serving. Slice
each log into 8 equal slices. Enjoy!

My Red Velvet Cake

I received this recipe from Mrs. Jeffery in 1980.




It is my son Patrick's favorite cake! The frosting is time consuming but it is the most delicious frosting in the world! I kid you not!

And I know frosting.

Red Cake

1/2 cup shortening
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 T. cocoa
2 oz. red food coloring
1 t. vanilla
1 cup buttermilk
2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon vinegar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

Cream shortening and sugar well, add eggs. Cream until fluffy.

Make paste with cocoa and food coloring-add to mixture.
(I use one oz. red food coloring and fill up the same bottle with water for the second ounce :o)

Mix vanilla/salt with buttermilk. Add to mixture alternately with flour.
(Start and end with flour)

Mix soda and vinegar and fold into the batter.
Do not beat.

Bake 350 for 25-30 minutes.

Frosting for Red Cake

5 Tablespoons flour
1 cup sugar
1 cup milk
1 cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla

Cook 5 T. flour and 1 cup milk over a low flame-stirring constantly- cool.
Cream 1 cup butter add 1 cup sugar and 1 t. vanilla.
Add cold flour mixture.
Beat this on high for 15 minutes.
Stop and scrap every five minutes.

It will look like whipped cream.

Perfection!
