<strong class="cbl" style="color: black;">OLD FASHIONED POUND CAKE</strong>

1/2 pound butter, creamed
1 3/4 cups sugar
5 whole eggs
2 cups flour, measured after sifting twice
nutmeg or mace to taste

Beat like the devil, 1/2 pound butter, (more if you have it). Add 1 3/4 cups sugar with the creamed butter. Cream until fluffy and light. Then
drop in 1 whole egg at a time and stir slowly until you have dropped in a total of 5 eggs. Then fold in 2 cups of flour that has been measured after it has been sifted twice. Do not beat as that makes it tough.

Flavor with a little nutmeg or mace.

Cook in a loaf pan about 45 minutes at 300 degrees F. Turn oven up to 325F. for browning. Leave it at 325F. for 15 minutes or until a nice golden brown."

Total time

<time datetime="PT50M">50 mins</time>

 

Serves: 4

 

 

Ingredients

<ul>
<li class="ingredient">4 boneless center-cut pork chops, about 1-inch thick</li>
<li class="ingredient">1 tbs olive oil</li>
<li class="ingredient">1 cup caramelized onions</li>
<li class="ingredient">¾ cup beef stock</li>
<li class="ingredient">¼ cup dry white wine (see NOTES)</li>
<li class="ingredient">4 tsp whole-grain dijon mustard -OR- regular dijon mustard</li>
<li class="ingredient">4 slices sharp provolone cheese</li>
<li class="ingredient">1-2 sprigs fresh thyme -OR- ⅛ tsp dried (see NOTES)</li>
<li class="ingredient">½ tsp salt (optional)</li>
<li class="ingredient">¼ tsp pepper</li>
</ul>

 

Instructions

<ol>
<li class="instruction">Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.</li>
<li class="instruction">Heat a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil.</li>
<li class="instruction">Sprinkle pork chops with pepper and salt if using.</li>
<li class="instruction">Brown chops on both sides in hot skillet. Remove pork chops and set aside.</li>
<li class="instruction">Add the stock, thyme (if using) and wine to the pan and deglaze (that's scraping up all the browned bits so they dissolve in the liquid).Add the caramelized onions. Cook for about 3-5 minutes until liquid is slightly reduced.</li>
<li class="instruction">Spread 1 tsp of the mustard on top of each chop. Place chops in skillet with the onion/stock mixture.</li>
<li class="instruction">Place the pan in the preheated oven and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until chops register 160 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer.</li>
<li class="instruction">Place slice of cheese on top of each chop--I find folding the cheese in half works best and creates a double layer of cheese.</li>
<li class="instruction">Place the skillet back in the oven and cook for about 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted and just begins to brown.</li>
</ol>

 

Notes

 

If you used thyme in the recipe for the caramelized onions, it can be omitted in pork chop recipe.

The white wine can be substituted with an equal quantity of beef stock

SLOW COOKER DIRECTIONS--Follow the recipe for caramelized onions bearing in mind they take about 10 hours so plan accordingly if you plan to make this meal along with the onions. If you do, at the end of the 10 hour cooking time, add the browned chops with the mustard spread on each as in the main recipe, and the stock and wine. Cook for an additional 5-6 hours. You can melt the cheese over the chops either in the microwave or regular oven.
I feel it's better to make the onions on one day and make the pork chops on another day. To do it that way, add the caramelized onions to the crock pot along with the stock and wine. Brown the pork chops, spread the mustard over them and place them in the slow cooker. Cook for about 5-7 hours on low, 4-6 on high, but check for doneness at the MINIMUM times. If you are using a casserole crock and you have the pork chops in a single layer, at the end of the cook time, place the cheese on top of the chops, cover and let the cheese melt. If you had to pile the chops in the cooker, you will have to melt the cheese either in the oven or microwave.

 
Here Bruce, eat this "Long Life salad."

This is for a large party bowl of salad:
A half pound each of cooked Lentils, black eye peas, Christmas lima beans, and black beans, and quinoua.
One pound of raw chopped kale, and a half pound of chopped plain or curly parsley.

Vinigrette dressing: 1/2 cup of fresh lemon juice, after the 2 lemons are zested and added to the bowl. 1/2 cup red or white wine vinegar. 1/2 cup apple, pineapple, grape, or papaya, or other sweet juice or nectar. Salt & pepper to taste.
Whisk until emulsified and pour over the salad and toss.
Feel free to use your imagination if you don't like one of the ingredients.

Kookie Brittle from the Nestle Food Corp.

I posted this recipe in thread back in 2010 for a poster who was looking for a no-egg cookie recipe.  I don't know when my grandmother clipped this recipe, but it has been around as long as I can remember.

 

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine 1 cup butter or margarine, 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla, 3/4 tsp. salt in a bowl and blend well. Gradually beat in 1 cup sugar. Add 2 cups sifted all-purpose flour, and 1 cup semi-sweet choc. chips or butterscotch chips. Mix well. Press evenly into an ungreased 15"x10"pan. Sprinkle 1/2 cup chopped nuts over the top. Bake at 375 degrees for 25 minutes. Cool, then break into irregular pieces and drain on paper toweling. Makes about 1 3/4lbs.

I add the nuts to the dough, less messy.
 
Russian Cuisine

OK, I wish there were written recipes for these, but all I can do is point you to this guy's channel. He does include measurements in western units in most descriptions. We'll start with something appropriate for this time of year, ice-cold kompot. Watch his entire cooking playlist and you may have an urge to become an expert in Russian cuisine. Either that or find yourself wanting to play STALKER online all day with your gopnik friends.
