Twix Bars


35 unwrapped Kraft caramels
1/4 cup water
1 box Nabisco Lorna Doone shortbread
cookies -- (40)
2 bags milk-chocolate chips -- (12 ounce)


1. Combine the caramels with the water in a small pan and melt
over low heat.
2. Place the shortbread cookies side by side on an ungreased
cookie sheet.
3. Spoon a dab of caramel onto each cookie. Then place all the
cookies in the refrigerator until the caramel firms up.
4. In the meantime, in a double boiler over low heat, melt the
chocolate chips. You may also use the microwave for melting the
chocolate. Just heat the chips for 1 minute on high, stir, then heat for
another minute.
5. Remove the cookies from the refrigerator. Rest each one on a
fork and dip it into the chocolate. Tap the fork on the side of the pan or
bowl to knock off any excess chocoloate. Then place each one on a
sheet of waxed paper and let them cool at room temperature (65-70F).
This could take several hours, but the bars will set best this
way. If you want to speed up the process, put the candy in the
refrigerator for 30 minutes.


Makes 40 bars.

Hm, looks pretty simple. And delishus.

Unwrapping the caramels is the hardest part! Lawl.

And with the last step, even if it takes forever, do cool them and let them harden on the counter.
Moisture from the fridge + chocolate is not a nice combination.

Well here's the book attempt at Wendy's Chilli

Wendy's Chili

1 pound ground beef
1 - 14.5 Oz. can tomato sauce
1 - 14.5 Oz. can kidney beans (with liquid)
1 - 14.5 Oz. can pinto beans (with liquid)
1/2 cup diced onion
1/4 cup diced green chilies
1/4 cup diced celery
2 medium tomatoes, chopped
1 teaspoons cumin powder
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons salt
1 cup water

1. Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat; drain off
the fat.
2. Using a fork, crumble the cooked beef into pea-size pieces.
3. In a large pot, combine the beef plus all the remaining
ingredients, and bring to a simmer over low heat. Cook, stirring every 15
minutes,for 2 to 3 hours.

Makes about 12 servings.

It's the attachment. The ebook is sloppy but easy to figure out. I got about 97 other cookbooks (non-restaurant related).

Outback Steakhouse Coconut Shrimp

1 c flat beer
1 c self-rising flour
2 c sweetened coconut flakes --
: [7 ounce package]
2 TB sugar
1/2 ts salt
12 jumbo shrimp
: paprika
: Marmalade sauce for dipping
2 ts stoneground mustard ***
1 ts prepared horseradish
: ds salt
1/2 c orange marmalade

*** Stone-ground mustard with whole-grain mustard seed. For
the batter, use an electric mixer to combine the beer, flour, 1/2
cup coconut flakes, sugar, and salt in a medium sized bowl. Mix
well, then cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour. Prepare your
mamalade sauce by combining all four ingredients in a small bowl. Cover
and refrigerate this for at least 1 hour as well. Prepare the shrimp
by deveining and peeling off the shell back to the tail. Leave the
last segment of the shell plus the tailfins as a handle. When the
batter is ready, preheat oil in a deep pot or deep fryer to about 350.
Use enough oil to completely cover the shrimp. Pour the remainder of
the coconut into a shallow bowl. Be sure the shrimp is dry before
battering. Sprinkle each shrimp lightly with paprika before the
next step. Dip one shrimp at a time into the batter, coating
generously.Drop the battered shrimp into the coconut and roll it around so
that it is well coated. Fry 4 shrimp at a time for 2-3 minutes or
until the shrimp become golden brown. You may have to flip the shrimp
over halfway through cooking time. Drain on paper towels briefly
before serving with marmalade sauce on the side.

OR

2 c short shredded coconut
1/2 c orange marmalade
1/4 c Grey Poupon country mustard
1/4 c honey
3-4 drops Tabasco sauce

Peel, devein & wash shrimp. Dry well on paper towels. Set
aside. In a bowl, mix all dry ingredients for batter. Add 2T oil &
ice water. Stir to blend. To fry: heat oil to 350 in deep fryer or
electric skillet. Spread coconut on a flat pan a little at a time,
adding more as needed. Dip shrimp in batter, then roll in coconut.
Fry in hot oil until lightly browned, about 4 minutes.
Bake at 300 5 minutes to finish cooking of the shrimp.

Serve with sweet & sour sauce or the following sauce:
Combine marmalade, Grey Poupon mustard, honey & Tabasco sauce to taste.


General Tso's Chicken

3/4 lb Boneless chicken breast
2 ts Dark soy sauce
2 ts Rice wine or dry sherry
1 ts Finely chopped ginger root
1 ts Cornstarch
1 ts Sesame oil
1/3 c Oil, preferably peanut
2 Dried red chiles
- cut in half lengthwise
1 tb Chopped fresh orange peel OR
2 ts - dried citrus peel
-(soaked & coarsely chopped)
1/2 ts Roasted Sichuan peppercorns
* (finely ground), optional
2 ts Dark soy sauce
1/4 ts Salt
1 ts Sugar
1/2 ts Sesame oil

CUT CHICKEN INTO THIN SLICES 2 inches long, cutting against the
grain. Put it into a bowl together with the soy sauce, rice wine or sherry,
ginger, cornstarch and 1 teaspoon sesame oil. Mix well, and then let the
mixture marinate for about 20 minutes. Heat the oil in a wok or large
skillet until it is very hot. Remove the chicken from the marinade with a
slotted spoon. Add it to the pan and stir-fry it for 2 minutes until it browns.
Remove it and leave to drain in a colander or sieve. Pour off most of the
oil, leaving about 2 teaspoons. Reheat the pan over a high heat and
then add the dried chiles. Stir-fry them for 10 seconds, and then return the
chicken to the pan. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir-fry for 4
minutes, mixing well. Serve the dish at once.

Add toasted sesme seeds to make sesame chicken.

You learn to understand.

No... learning a recipie is learning. And even that still isn't understanding, which is what I was talking about.

Following a recipie is just that; following a set of instructions.

If I followed a recipie to make chicken soup today, I could do it again without the recipie tomorrow.
