Oh what a intriguing link! Many thanks!
Dug out a few more family recipes, more tame in nature.
Cousin Lobelia's Stuffed Mushrooms
1 Lb. fresh mushrooms
1 Lb. bulk pork sausage
1/2 envelope onion soup mix
2 Tablespoons finely chopped parsley
1/2 teaspoons sage
Clean mushrooms and pop out stems. Chop stems finely and mix with sausage, soup mix, parsley & sage.
Heap mixture into mushroom caps and set close together in a foil lined baking pan. Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees F for 40 minutes. Uncover and bake 15 to 20 minutes more.
Disaster at Forochel Pie
1 1/2 Cups crushed Lorna Doone cookies (or shortbread)
1/2 Cup finely chopped pecans
1/3 Cup firmly packed light brown sugar
6 Tablespoons melted butter
1/2 Cup water
10 Tablespoons white sugar
2 Tablespoons green crème de menthe
1 quart vanilla ice cream, softened
1/2 Cup whipping cream
green food coloring
3 egg whites
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
Mix cookie crumbs, pecans, brown sugar & butter in a medium bowl. Press firmly onto bottom and sides of 9" pie pan.
Bake in a 325 degree F. oven for 10 minutes or until set. Cool completely.
Combine water with 4 Tablespoons of white sugar in a small saucepan. Cover & bring to boil. Uncover and boil without stirring for 7 minutes. Remove from heat & cool slightly, stir in crème de menthe. Cool completely.
Layer 1/2 of ice cream in cooked pie shell. Cover and freeze until firm.
Add a few drops food coloring to whipping cream and beat until stiff. Fold in 2 Tablespoons crème de menthe syrup. Spread evenly over firm ice cream in pie shell. Cover and freeze until firm.
Top with remaining ice cream, Cover and freeze until firm.
Beat eggs and cream of tartar until double in volume. Beat in remaining 6 Tablespoons of white sugar. When peaks form, pile meringue onto pie. Spread to edges so that no ice cream is showing. Freeze overnight.
Just before serving brown meringue until golden in a 450 degree F. oven (4 minutes). Drizzle on the remaining syrup.
