Heat a 12" Dutch oven using 20-22 briquettes bottom. Slice bacon into 1" strips then add to hot oven and fry until brown. Remove bacon from oven. Remove and reserve all but 2 Tbs. of the bacon grease from the oven. Add chicken and garlic to oven and cook, turning frequently, until juices run clear when chicken is pierced with a fork. Remove chicken from oven and add reserved bacon grease. Line the bottom of the oven with onion slices then put chicken on top of the onion. Add tomatoes, red and green bell pepper.

Salad Mixture:
1 package coleslaw mix OR broccoli slaw mix

No activity since OCTOBER 13th........

We might as well make this thread into the Hoosier Coffee Clatch Center. :lol:

Just wanted to let my fellow Hoosiers know a new top secret cold weather cure-all for coughs and colds.

I have endured 5 days without a voice. Not raspy , Not horse , nothing but a very soft whisper ( if you are good at charades) . No phone communication no nuttin'

Several folks kept touting Honey this and Honey that. Hot Toddy this and Hot Toddy that.

I finally was tired of it all and warmed up the last of the virgin apple pie (about 3 coffee cups full ) to this I added 3 heaping tablespoons full of honey and 1/2 cup of Southern comfort.

Sipped on it as hot as I could stand and held it in my raw sore throat until cool and swallowed. I finished a very small 4 to 5 oz cocktail glass full and sat it down.

MY SORE THROAT IS GONE !!! :shock:

Even I don't believe it !

Maybe grandma and great grandma knew something about honey that we have forgotten.

OH and the new liquor of choice for apple pie is hands down Southern Comfort. OMG !

Bob, that's a recipie worth noting. Why not enjoy the process of getting well with a good tasting medicine.

That has all the ingredients of Nyquil. I wonder if Vicks has thought of having an "apple pie" flavor.

They have "day time" , "night time", what about "anytime"?

This could be a medical breakthrough.

You could always say "Trust me, I'm a doctor" :twisted: .

Prophetstown potluck recipe

Postby clarkbar46 » Sun Oct 03, 2010 6:03 pm

Here is a recipe that Scott requested from our Fall gathering at Prophetstown.

TRIBERG SALAD
(CAULIFLOWER BROCCOLI LETTUCE BACON SALAD)

1 head cauliflower
1 medium head iceberg lettuce
1 bunch broccoli
1/2 pound bacon, cooked crisply and crumbled (or you can use bacon bits)
1 onion, diced
8 oz fresh grated parmesan cheese

Cut cauliflower and broccoli into bite size pieces. Wash, dry and tear up lettuce. Toss cauliflower, broccoli, lettuce, bacon, onion and parmesan cheese together. Chill. Just before serving (otherwise it will wilt the lettuce) pour dressing over salad and toss gently until well mixed.

DRESSING

1 pint mayonnaise (no substitutions-DO NOT use salad dressing)
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese

Mix or whisk together and pour over salad.

Good one Barb. I assume that was the one you made at Prophetstown.

If so, it was a big hit :thumbsup:

"APPLE PIE "
by bobhenry » Tue Jan 20, 2009 6:29 am

The 08 Shivaree was our 1st introduction to Rap's "Apple pie "Let me just say it ain't like your mama made!

1 gallon apple cider
1/2 gallon apple juice
warm in large pan to accept 2 cups sugar
(one white and 1 brown sugar can be subed)
after letting the mixture cool to room temp
add 2 cups Everclear
( if you don't know what it is ask the clerk at the liquor store)
mix well and place back in the original jugs with 4 cinnamon sticks per 1/2 gallon. Let it age in the fridge ( the longer the better)

Ice cold or warm there is a slice of apple pie in every sip. Serve in small shot size cups and careful it will sneak up on ya.

Apple pie smoothee 2 to 4 ounces of your apple pie liquor with 4 large scoops of vanilla ice cream. Blend completely and enjoy your "apple pie ala mode"

Have played around a bit with the recipe since this post. I now add 1/2 teaspoon each of ginger and nutmeg and 1/4 teaspoon of clove to the mix. I also add a tablespoon of powdered cinnamon. If you are serving a crowd it is best to serve it virgin and let the victim add his own everclear or what ever. I have subbed Southern comfort and it was great this shivaree we put in the new American Honey

Image


and it was truly fantastic
:thumbsup:

If you missed the post just this past weekend I used the virgin mix in an apple cobbler dump cake instead of the sprite or 7 up usually added and it was out of this world good.
