  • Sour Cream Pound Cake

    You will need:

    1/2 cup butter (1 stick), softened
    1 1/2 cup sugar
    1/2 cup sour cream
    3 eggs, beaten
    1 1/2 cup flour
    1 pinch baking soda

    Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease and flour 8x4-inch loaf pan.

    Cream together butter and sugar. Stir in sour cream and eggs.

    Mix together in separate bowl the flour and baking soda. Stir into wet mixture and mix well.

    Pour into prepared pan. Bake 1 hour, or until toothpick comes out clean.



  • Barbara's Bean Soup

    Good ole ham bone...with lots of meat
    Water to cover bone...guess...how large a batch
    Jewish 4-bean soup mix or vegetable barley... I use 1 of each making a large pot (Maniechevitz) (I put seasoning packets in right away on 4-bean, veg toward the end)
    1/2 large onion, diced
    Extra barley, about 1/2 to 3/4 cup
    1 or 2 pieces of end of celery with leaves (chopped fine)
    4 or 5 whole allspice
    salt and pepper to taste
    Bag of frozen collard greens (or spinach)
    2-4 tablespoons vinegar (I just pour, toward the end)
    Carrot (optional, you can even dice a potato or two)

    Cover ham bone with water. Add onions, celery, salt, pepper, and allspice. Simmer a good hour.

    I remove the ham bone, cool and chop ham. Put back in pot, then add the soup mixtures.

    Read directions. It takes a couple of hours for the bean soup.

    Add the barley and vinegar, collard greens toward the end.

    Enjoy!



  • The Infamous Alice B. Toklah Brownies

    Alice B Toklas

    Once Baked and Delivered in San Francisco by Brownie Mary Rathbun

    "Take 1 teaspoon black peppercorns, 1 whole nutmeg, 4 average sticks of cinnamon, 1 teaspoon coriander. These should all be pulverized in a mortar. About a handful each of stone dates, dried figs, shelled almonds and peanuts: chop these and mix them together. A bunch of canibus sativa can be pulverized. This along with the spices should be dusted over the mixed fruit and nuts, kneaded together. About a cup of sugar dissolved in a big pat of butter. Rolled into a cake and cut into pieces or made into balls about the size of a walnut, it should be eaten with care. Two pieces are quite sufficient. Obtaining the canibus may present certain difficulties.... It should be picked and dried as soon as it has gone to seed and while the plant is still green."  ~1954 Alice B. Toklas Cook Book

    Happy Holidaze Cannabis Brownies
    from Cannabis Angel Kay Lee

    Get a box of brownie mix that calls for oil to be used in the mixing instructions. I like the double fudge with walnuts brownie mix myself.
