Cheeseburger Buns, (halved, modified, Taste of Home) (Cheeseburger Bierocks?!)

Used         (recipe)
60g water (1/2c)
90g milk (3/4c)
25g sugar (1/4c)
1 bantam egg (1 large egg)
2T butter (1/4c shortening)
300g flour (3 1/2-4c)
3g salt (1 tsp)
5g instant yeast (2-1/4oz pkg active dry)


3/4# ground beef (1 1/2#)
?? chopped onion (1/4c)
75g ketchup (8oz tomato sauce)
30g Miracle Whip (n/a)
16 cheddar squares (8 slices American cheese, quartered)

The buns were excellent, if a touch sweet. I'd probably halve the sugar in future. Also, tomato sauce on it's own didn't seem to suggest a cheeseburger, so we did ketchup instead (and will cut it to 60g next time). I like mayo on my burgers, so of course we had to add some. Totally forgot the mustard, though. Dill pickle bits would have been good, but I'd have to plan ahead for that.

Paprikash Hotdish (modified, my name is yeh)

2 medium onions, chopped
9oz carrots, sliced
1/4c butter

Cook til onions are soft. Then add:

3T sweet Hungarian paprika
1/2tsp cayenne
1T tomato paste
3 cloves garlic, minced

Stir in:
6T flour

Add slowly:
1/2c dry white wine
2c milk

When thickened, add:
560g pork, cubed

When pork is cooked, stir in:
1c peas.

Top with tater tots (minis are best) and bake at 400 for 30-45 minutes.


Sunshine Salad (old Betty, 1975) Carrot Pineapple Salad (new Betty, 1996)

1-3oz pkg lemon gelatin ($0.89)
1c hot water
1/2c cold water
1-8.75oz can crushed pineapple, undrained ($1.25)
1/8tsp salt
1/2c grated carrots ($1.99/10oz)
4c mold

Dissolve gelatin in hot water. Stir in cold water, salt, pineapple (and juice). Chill for 30-40 minutes, til thickened. Stir in carrots and chill til set (about 3 hours).

Had lime on the brain at the grocery store, so ended up with that. Couldn't find an 8.75oz can of crushed pineapple, so used 8oz. Used more carrots, probably 3/4c. Served 6.
