"My mouth is watering"

The barley salad will dry that up for you.

"The easiest way to peel a clove of garlic is to lightly smash it under the flat side of a large knife. The peel will then easily pull away."

I just throw the cloves on the floor and step on them with my "be kind to ant" shoes" after I've shoveled out the stables.

It all sounds good. And that corn pudding sounds yummy. I wonder what adjustments one would have to make when using frozen corn. Can any cooks out there help?

Yes only it was the Air Base Airfield Fire Dept. Figured from all the scorn you've heaped on MA's cooking that that Dept has equipment to handle anything MA can trow at them.


tick-tick-tick waiting for MA to show up with the rolling pin any minute now tick-tick-tick....

"2 cups frozen yellow corn, defrosted " "1 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed "

Totally bogus recipe. Everyone knows there was no such thing as freezers back in 1600's Coloninal days. And canning didn't come into existence until Napoleon's time.

It's interesting that my first reaction to the article was the lack of fresh ingredients as well.

At one time there was one out there, but I've lost track of it. If not, I'd consider maintaining one.

Yes, I noticed that too, but I am taking it that the recipes have been updated for today’s consumption. What caught my eye was the cilantro and jalopeño for starters.

My comment was tinged with sarcasm as the real thing would have been fresh ingredients. Is Cilantro and Jalepeno native to New England or would they have brought seeds?

Excellent post for these pre-Fourth of July days. And, to have something appropriate to wash down that strawberry-spinach salad, try this:

Martha Washington's Rum Punch
Eggnog and Rum Punches were one of the most popular drink types in Colonial America, enjoyed at just about any party given. This Rum Punch was served by Martha Washington to her husband and first president, George Washington. Rum Punch was one of Benjamin Franklin's favorite drinks, and he shared it with the pair often.

4 oz. Simple Syrup
4 oz. Lemon Juice
4 oz. Fresh Orange Juice
3 oz. White Rum
3 oz. Dark Rum
3 oz. Orange Curacao
3 Lemons quartered
1 Orange quartered
½ Tsp. Grated nutmeg
3 Cinnamon sticks (broken)
6 Cloves
12 oz. Boiling water


In a container, mash the orange, lemons, cinnamon sticks, cloves, and nutmeg. Add the syrup, lemon, and orange juices. Pour the boiling water over the mixture in the container. Let cool for a few minutes. When cool, add the White rum, Dark rum, and Orange Curacao.

Strain well into a pitcher or punch bowl. Serve over ice in goblets and decorate each glass with wheels of lemon and orange.
