Delicio Recipe List

Returning to my quest to provide recipes for you all to be able to create your own lavish afternoon tea I bring you chocolate meringues and yes whilst I hear you cry this is not British and why would this be included in a afternoon tea party, Well you would be absolutely right it is known to be of Swiss   or French origins but has been noted to be mentioned in transcripts as early as the 17th century in Britain. So  I'm guessing that by the time the  Victorian era came around at the same time that afternoon teas became a class thing, the  meringue  Would have been very popular and well sought after among the upper classes.And would probably been included in any afternoon teas taken by the upper classes,even if it wasn't it is in our afternoon tea party, or am I just upgrading the afternoon tea party I told you it was lavish with the Addition of chocolate to the meringue even more so. In this recipe I cannot emphasise ...

Say "She sells seashell salmon salad down by the seashore" 3 times fast....... We are blessed to have amazing friends in the beautiful state of Alaska who generously supplied us with some beautiful red, river-washed salmon. There's nothing else like it out there that I have ever seen. Thank you so very much, Eb & Lorie Pope. So what is a girl to do with all of this salmon??? Salmon salad literally jumped through my mind. Next, I baked a nice slab of it in the oven, just until done and then proceeded to shred it with a fork. 1 (1 lb.) box small seashell multi-grain pasta 2 cups flaked cooked salmon 1/2 cup mayonnaise 1/3 cup chopped green pepper 1/4 cup chopped sweet onion 1/4 cup chopped icicle pickles 1/4 cup chopped bread & butter pickles 1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice 1/4 tsp. each of salt and pepper a sprinkle of sugar a couple shakes of hot sauce Cook pasta just to al dente. Do not over cook! Drain well and place in large bowl. Combine remaining ingredients mixing...

The "Random House Dictionary" describes the word 'fudge' as: "a candy made of sugar, butter, milk, chocolate and flavoring".........I beg to differ with them as in my time I have made many different kinds of fudge and they certainly did not all contain chocolate. Not there's anything wrong with chocolate, my goodness, I have been a self-professed chocoholic for most of my life. When it comes to fudge though, I tend to prefer peanut butter without chocolate in it. So naturally when a friend slid a copy of this recipe across the kitchen counter to me I had to try it. She said, "There's a secret ingredient", in a slow whisper, which turned out to be an entire sleeve of Saltine crackers. My brain and tongue both immediately went to flapping....salty&sweet....sweet&salty....oooh Yes! 2 cups sugar 2 Tbsp. butter 1/2 cup milk 1 cup creamy peanut butter 1 sleeve Saltine crackers, crushed 1 tsp. vanilla extract Bring sugar, butter and milk t...

Once more into the breach as I continue to share recipes with you to allow you to be able to create a lavish afternoon tea party yes it really is a quest for me because I was quite taken aback when I heard that people were paying upwards of �80 per head to partake in afternoon tea I just can't believe that someone would pay that much for some nice sandwiches some nice cakes and a pot of tea.I understand it's because your'e paying for the experience, The name of the establishment, the background music, the heavily starched table covers and the sound of people opening their wallets and purses and handing over those crisp notes straight from the cash point. just to feel special.after all we are all in together.
