Hi Hilde & Raefindel!

Good to be back. I've missed everybody.

I'm working on more recipes. I must test them before I post them; some I've never made before; some are from my Grandma and the quantities are vague and the directions are next to nonexistant. But everything I've posted so far, I make fairly regularly - so no worries.

The most fun is naming the recipes! [In fact, I have M-E recipe names in search of recipes.]

Three Pans for the Pastry-chefs baking their pies,
Seven for the Sous-chefs – heavy pots of stock,
Nine for Short Order Cooks doomed to fry,
One for the Bleu Chef – it’s a hot wok
In the Land of Larder where the Foodstuffs lie.
One Pan to boil them all, One Pan to stew them,
One Pan to broil them all and in the butter brown them
In the Land of Larder where the Foodstuffs lie.

Finally got the rhyme scheme right – must have had a mental block:

Three Pans for the Pastry-chefs baking their pies,
Seven for the Sous-chefs – heavy pots of stock,
Nine for Short Order Cooks doomed to fry,
One for the Bleu Chef – it’s a hot wok
In the Land of Larder where the Foodstuffs lie.
One Pan to stew them all, One Pan to boil them,
One Pan to brown them all and in the oven broil them
In the Land of Larder where the Foodstuffs lie.
