Kaylin,

My aunt used to make a bodacious dinner that was spaghetti baked in a cake pan with lots of
olives and cheese on top. Do you have a recipe for this? I am pregnant and craving it like
mad!

April

Hi!

Is there a recipe for something called "Older than Dirt" cake? My crazy husband wants to
take one to his boss, and I haven't ever heard of this. Thank you for any help you can give
to me.

Diana

Hi!

I am planning a luau for my daughter’s sixteenth birthday. I would love some ideas for the
menu. We have never been to an actual luau and would love some recipes! Thank you!

Re: Stuffed Pork Chops for Trish

The trick with stuffing pork chops is to buy thick pork chops (at least 1" thick) and have
the butcher cut a pocket in them. This can be done by you but the first couple of times let
the butcher do it so that you know how to do it. I use a boning knife. You will also need
skewers to close the pork chops after they are filled. I use the ones that you use on a
turkey but you can use sturdy toothpicks as well. Stuff the pork chop with whatever you like
- dressing, stewed and drained dried fruit, flavored cooked rice, or whatever your boyfriend
likes. Skewer closed tightly and brown on both sides, then cook over low heat until done.
A meat thermometer is handy for checking for doneness. You can also ask the butcher or anyone
you see buying thick pork chops what they stuff them with. As a college student with limited
kitchen skills I would wait until I saw someone buying the same thing I wanted to try then I
would ask them how they cooked the item as I would like to try it but didn't know how to cook
it. Most people are flattered and will give you good recipes for things you have never tried
before.

Hi Trish,

The way my Mom used to make stuffed pork chops was to use two chops and put the stuffing in
between them (like a sandwich) then she used twine to tie it together. She seared them on
each side, then either baked them or simmered them with a little broth until they were done.

I have seen them in the grocery store where a really thick chop is used. A slice is made
along the side and the stuffing is well, stuffed in there. Hope this helps.

Katrina,

This is a copy of a basic lotion recipe that I have had on file for a while. I got it off
the net I just don't remember where. Hope this helps with what you're wanting to do.

Basic Lotion Recipe

First of all, you may want to select containers with colored caps that remind you of the
scent you made. Wal-Mart carries empty Pet Bottle with different colored caps in their beauty
and travel section. So, I would pick a clear bottle with a purple cap for lavender, as one
example.

Heat up 3/4 Cup of Oil of Your Choice in the microwave with 2 teaspoons of Steric Acid and 1
teaspoon of Emulsifying Wax until melted. In a separate plastic bowl with a pour mouth
preferably, heat up 1/2 cup of water of your choice (such as rainwater) in the microwave with
a 1/2 teaspoon of Borax (the Mule Team stuff) until boiling hot.

Then use the same plastic pour mouth bowl you boiled the water in and slowly whip in the oil
mixture with a hand blender. Keep mixing until fairly cool. At this time, you can add vitamin
e oil, a little color, fragrance, whatever you consider great stuff! When the lotion seems
well mixed, funnel into pretty plastic lotion bottles. If you are going to take longer than a
month to use this, I recommend putting a touch of Germaben II to body products; they will
tend to form black little microbes after a few months. Vitamin e is a natural preservative
and may help.

How Much Does All This Cost?

3/4 cup of the most expensive oils cannot be more than $2. This recipe makes 12 ounces.

Variations:

Once you get the chemistry down, the interplay is wide open. You can use green tea instead of
water or rainwater, or water infused with whatever herb you like. On the oil side, you can
soak the oils in elements such as we do with bee pollen, strain and then use for the oil
part. The possibilities are endless and these variations also apply to Cremes below. For
those with Eczema or Psoriasis, adding 10% of pine tar at the mixing stage may help them
tremendously. In that case, I would use Castor oil as my oil of choice. You can offset the
smell of pine tar with cinnamon or nutmeg.

Making Creme at a Fraction of the Cost

In making creme, you simply increase the oil to 90% and the water to 10% of the mixture
beyond perhaps adding a bit of beeswax to the oil part when heating. You will still need the
Emulsifying wax and steric acid as described in the oil lotion section as well as the Borax
in the water portion because it is these trace items that make oil mix with water. Beeswax is
not necessary but does help to get a frothy creme. As I stated above in lotion making, if you
are going to take longer than a month to use the final product, I recommend putting a touch
of Germaben II to body products or they tend to form black little microbes after a few
months. Vitamin e is a natural preservative and may help. Making your own lotions and cremes
will not only save you money, but also you will have the healthiest possible products around.

Katrina was asking for a recipe for lotion. This is one that I got from another ezine. I
take advantage of the dollar store to buy the ingredients and then store in small airtight
containers to give as gifts, take to work, etc.

Body Lotion

3 bottles of baby lotion
1 jar of Vaseline
1 jar of Cocoa Butter

Mix with a mixer.
