Corn pudding can be made a varity of ways and everybody who
knows corn pudding has their favorite.  I highly recommend a
"Sweet Corn Pudding" as  follows:

2 cans of cream corn
6 eggs
1 1/2 cups of sugar
cinnamon (to taste)
vanilla extract
butter/oleo

blend the sugar and cinnamon together and sit aside.
beat the eggs very well and add the cream corn.
stir in the sugar and cinnamon mixture.
melt the oleo and pour into the mixture.
add the vanilla extract to taste.

Bake at 350 degrees in a slightly oiled pan until the pudding
has risen and turned a golden brown.  Remove the pudding from
the oven and let set for at least 20 minutes for the hot air
to release itself and the pudding settles.   The finished product
is a light, sweet corn pudding.Practice makes perfect and the
rule of thumb that will never go wrong is 6 eggs to every 2 cans
 of cream corn.  Never use milk in this pudding.  The milk fat
tends to make a HEAVY pudding, which you don't want.

Enjoy,
Becca

Subject:  Fried Chicken

Someone said they don't know how to fry chicken.  I am white,
and my Mom used to always BOIL her chicken first, then dip it in
egg and cracker crumbs before frying........... yuck!  It wasn't
until I met my husband that I learned to fry chicken!  He is black,
and his Mom taught me try fry chicken that ALL my family & friends
rave over!

Best thing is...... there's no set amounts!  Just cook what you
need for your crowd!

Fried Chicken

Chicken pieces
Cider vinegar
Seasoned salt
pepper

Place chicken in a colander.  Sprinkle with vinegar and seasonings.
Place in refrigerator for at least an hour.  Can be kept in
refrigerator to cook  later.  Put oil in fryer, or pan until it's
half full.  Place pieces, skin side up in hot grease.  Fry at a
moderate temperature until golden on one side.  Turn and fry the
other side.  Drain on paper towels and serve!  It's so easy, even I
can fry chicken like a sister!  My in-laws say I can really BURN!
That means cook, but I guess you all know what I mean!  ;)

I really enjoy the website.  You are doing a great job!  When
I was in college, my friend from Jamaica made great browned
chicken.  She fried it, but didnt use any flour.  I think she
may have fried some onion and tomatoes with it.  If anyone knows
of a great browned Jamaican chicken recipe, I'd appreciate it.

Old Fashioned Fried Chicken

List of Ingredients

1 (3 pound) chicken, cut into pieces
2 cups buttermilk
3 cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Peanut oil or vegetable shortening

Recipe

1. Rinse and dry chicken. Place in a glass dish with buttermilk
and let soak for 10-30 minutes.

2. In a paper or ziploc bag, place the flour, salt, and black
pepper. Close the top and shake to mix well. Drain the chicken
and drop it in the bag, two or three pieces at a time, shaking
the bag until each piece is thoroughly coated. Set chicken on
a piece of waxed paper.

3. Heat about 1/2 inch peanut oil or vegetable shortening in
an electric frying pan set at 350°F, or a large skillet over
medium heat. Dredge the chicken once more in the flour, shaking
off any excess. Test the oil temperature by dropping in a
sprinkle of water, it should sizzle. Add the chicken, taking care
not to crowd it. Brown chicken well on both sides, then set the
heat on low and cover the pan for 15 minutes.

4. Remove the lid and test for doneness - the juices from the
thigh should run clear when prodded with a fork. The chicken
will look soggy, but don't worry. Turn the heat back up to
medium and cook until the chicken is brown and very crisp, top
and bottom. Remove with tongs and drain well on paper towels.
Serve immediately, or chill and save for a nice picnic.

EASY ENCHILADAS

10 or 12 large flour tortillas
1 lb. grated Cheddar cheese
1 lg. onion, diced
Sour cream, lettuce, and other desired toppings

Filling:

1 lb. lean ground beef
1 can tomatoes and green chilies
2 cans chili with beans or homemade chili

Brown meat. Add rest and simmer about 1 hr. until thick.

Enchilada Sauce: Sauté 1/4 cup very finely chopped onion in
2 Tbsp oil. Add 1 can enchilada sauce, 1 can tomato paste,
2 - 3 cans water, 1/4 tsp. each oregano and cumin, 1 or 2
Tbsp chili powder, dash of  garlic powder. Simmer until

cheese and chopped onion in each tortilla.  Roll up. Place with

HUEVOS CON QUESO
(Mexican Eggs with Cheese)

Reminiscent of chile con queso (melted cheese with chiles), cheese
sauce is blended with eggs and spooned over tortillas. Serve with
sliced tomatoes and beer or iced tea.

       Tortilla Strips (see below)
       3 tablespoons butter or margarine
       1 small onion, minced
       1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
       1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
       1/2 cup sour cream
       6 eggs, lightly beaten
       1/2 cup diced tomatoes
       1 large tomatillo, husked, rinsed and chopped (optional)
       1 large Anaheim or other mild green chile, stemmed,
       seeded and chopped

Prepare Tortilla Strips. Distribute evenly among 6 dinner plates
and keep warm in an 150 degree oven.

In a 10- to 12-inch frying pan, melt butter over low heat. Add
onion and cumin; cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is
soft (about 5 minutes). Mix in flour; cook, stirring, until
bubbly. Remove from heat and blend in sour cream. Return to heat
and cook, stirring, over low heat until smooth and bubbly. Add
jack and cheddar cheeses and continue to cook, stirring, until
melted. Stir in eggs; cook until eggs are lightly set and mixture
looks like soft scrambled eggs (about 10 more minutes).

Dividing equally, spoon egg mixture over tortilla strips and
sprinkle with tomatoes, tomatillo (if desired) and chile.
Makes 6 servings.

TORTILLA STRIPS

Stack 16 to 18 corn tortillas (6-inch diameter) and cut into
1/4-inch wide strips. Pour salad oil to a depth of 1 inch into
a 3- to 4-quart pan and heat to 375 degrees F. on a deep-frying
thermometer. Add strips, a handful at a time, and cook, stirring
often, until crisp and lightly browned (about 1 min.). Lift out;
drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt.

Santa Fe Chicken
Serving Size : 4

1 large onion, chopped
1 tablespoon margarine
1 1/4 cups chicken broth
1 cup salsa
1 cup rice -- uncooked
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
chopped fresh cilantro or parlsey

In a large skillet, saute onion in margarine until tender. Add
broth and salsa; bring to a boil. Stir in rice and garlic powder.
Place chicken over rice; cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Turn
chicken; cook 10-15 minutes longer or until meat juices run clear.
Remove from the heat. Sprinkle with cheese; cover and let stand for
5 minutes. Garnish with cilantro if desired.

NOTES: This would be good with shrimp. It would also be good with
no meat at all. I added chopped green peppers to it the first time
I made it, because I only had half of an onion. I must say I
prefered the green pepper in it.

To:              webmaster@chitterlings.com

My greatgrandmother used to make a relish type dish at
Thanksgiving time that she called cha cha.  Unfortunately
I did not get a chance to get the recipe  before she passed
on.  I was wondering would you know of one, or if any of your
subscribers have one.  I also would love to know your feedback
on turkey  butts vs. ham hocks cooked woth collard greens.  I
have a love for both.  Recently because of  diet and highblood
pressure, I have been cooking greens with turkey butt.  Is this
any healthier?  I love your website. Hope to hear from you soon.

Hi, Willie:
Yep, it's me again.  Couldn't resist jumping in with some helpful (?)
hints and a correction.  First of all, File powder is made from
 dried sassasfras leaves, not roots.  This comes from the Choctaw
Indians in Mississippi.  The roots are used to make a tea which,
now after a hundred or more years, they have decided is not healthy!!!

Re:  Buffalo wings - I read all of the recipes and they all sound
quite good but not one of them mentioned one of the main things.
The wings are served with a dipping sauce of Ranch Dressing and/or
Bleu cheese dressing.  Don't forget the napkins.

I make very good barbequed ribs as follows:  I buy the baby back ribs
 - here in Arizona Safeway  has them in 10 lb. boxes, usually for less
than a dollar a pound. Thaw, rinse, strip off any extra fat on the
backs, and in the bottom of an old bluestone(?)  large pan (the one
I use for my Xmas turkey which has a lid), I place several stalks of
 celery, cut into chunks, leaves and all, a couple of onions, sliced
and several cloves of garlic.  Place the ribs over this, add a couple
 of cups of water, cover with lid or aluminum foil and in a 325 degree
 oven, bake until fork tender.  Do not overbake, just want to
tenderize
the meat.  When done, remove the ribs and be sure and save the broth.
I usually strain it, chill it, remove all fat from top and cook with
rice - yummy.  At this point, you can place the ribs on a barbeque
grill and brown.  DO NOT PUT BARBEQUE SAUCE WITH TOMATOES ON THE RIBS
AT THIS POINT.  The tomatoes will char and become bitter.  The meat
will be "fat" enough to brown nicely.  Just before serving, slather
on the barbeque sauce and heat on both sides.

I usually brown/bake my ribs in the oven after they are cooked  and
put the sauce on them when I first put the ribs in the oven.  This
will brown without becoming bitter.

My barbeque sauce:  Well, there are so many good ones on the market
it would be hard to pinpoint any one.  But when I'm out, I mix tomato
catsup, a dab of French's mustard, vinegar, PEACH OR APRICOT PRESERVES
 (Yep, that's right), garlic salt or powder, chili powder, dash of
soy sauce and Worchestershire sauce, taste and correct, if necessary.
Can also add some tabasco if you like hot sauce, some good salsa. 
Just
play it by ear and experiment.  Try this, I think you'll like it.

I really do enjoy reading your column.  Keep up the good work.
Love the recipes.
