Have you made it before, or just since I posted it? Also, how much do you think it would be affected by adding onion powder over actual onions?

[wordsmith]

Through the years I have sauteed mushrooms many different ways. I have a son who doesn't like onions so I have used onion powder many times. Sometimes I add a small amount of boullion when I leave out the onions. I now cook with 1/2 butter and 1/2 olive oil.

Thanks! You're always so sweet and helpful!

[wordsmith]

So are you. I cannot wait until I can unpack all my boxes and find the recipes I have been missing. Hopefully this will happen sometime this coming summer.

[Farmgirl22]

Thank you! I know how you feel there, it had been a while since I'd tried to really cook something fabulous, simply because I didn't have the space, utensils, or even a decent stove....now I have all those things, but I haven't found (or maybe I should say, MADE) the time.

[wordsmith]

It always takes time to unpack and find all your stuff. Give yourself sometime, I know that's easier said than done, infact, in a few months I may need you to tell me the same

[Farmgirl22]

LOL! I'll be sure to tell you that in a few months then! I hope you have a nice evening, I'm thinking about hitting the sack. Homework has me worn plumb out! *rereads last sentence and looks more closely at roots *

Have a good night, I too, need to leave real soon.

Subject: HONEY and CINNAMON

Cinnamon & Honey ~ I Bet the drug companies won't like this
one getting around.

Facts on Honey and Cinnamon: It is found that a mixture of
honey and
cinnamon cures most diseases. Honey is produced in most of the
countries
of the world. Scientists of today also accept honey as a 'Ram
Ban' (very effective) medicine for all kinds of diseases.
Honey can be used without any side effects for any kind of
diseases.
Today's science says that even though honey is sweet, if taken
in the right dosage as a medicine, it does not harm diabetic patients.
Weekly World News, a magazine in Canada, in its issue dated 17
January, 1995 has given
the following list of diseases that can be cured by honey and
cinnamon as researched by western scientists:

HEART DISEASES:
Make a paste of honey and cinnamon powder, apply on bread,
instead of jelly and jam, and eat it regularly for breakfast. It
reduces the cholesterol in the arteries and saves the patient from
heart attack. Also those who have already had an attack, if they do
this process daily, they are kept miles away from the next attack.
Regular use of the above process relieves loss of breath and
strengthens the heart beat. In America and Canada, various nursing
homes have treated patients successfully and have found that as you
age, the arteries and veins lose their flexibility and get clogged;
honey and cinnamon revitalize the arteries and veins.

ARTHRITIS:
Arthritis patients may take daily, morning, and night, one cup
of hot water with two spoons of honey and one small teaspoon of
cinnamon powder. If taken regularly even chronic arthritis can be
cured. In a recent research conducted at the Copenhagen University, it
was found that when the doctors treated their patients with a mixture
of one tablespoon Honey and half teaspoon Cinnamon powder before
breakfast, they found that within a week, out of the 200 people so
treated, practically 73 patients were totally relieved of pain, and
within a month, mostly all the patients who could not walk or move
around because of arthritis started walking without pain.

BLADDER INFECTIONS:
Take two tablespoons of cinnamon powder and one teaspoon of
honey in a glass of lukewarm water and drink it. It destroys the germs
in the bladder.

CHOLESTEROL:
Two tablespoons of honey and three teaspoons of Cinnamon
Powder mixed in 16 ounces of tea water, given to a cholesterol
patient, were found to reduce the level of cholesterol in the blood by
10 percent within two hours. As mentioned for arthritic patients, if
taken three times a day, any chronic cholesterol is cured. According
to information received in the journal, pure honey taken with food
daily relieves complaints of cholesterol.

COLDS:
Those suffering from common or severe colds should take one
tablespoon lukewarm honey with 1/4 spoon cinnamon powder daily for
three days. This process will cure most chronic cough, cold, and clear
the sinuses.

UPSET STOMACH:
Honey taken with cinnamon powder cures stomach ache and also
clears stomach ulcers from the root.

GA S:
According to the studies done in India and Japan, it is
revealed that if honey is taken with cinnamon powder the stomach is
relieved of gas.

IMMUNE SYSTEM:
Daily use of honey and cinnamon powder strengthens the immune
system and protects the body from bacteria and viral attacks.
Scientists have found that honey has various vitamins and iron in
large amounts. Constant use of honey strengthens the white blood
corpuscles to fight bacteria and viral diseases.

INDIGESTION:
Cinnamon powder sprinkled on two tablespoons of honey taken
before food relieves acidity and digests the heaviest of meals.

INFLUENZA:
A scientist in Spain has proved that honey contains a natural
'Ingredient' which kills the influenza germs and saves the patient
from flu.

LONGEVITY:
Tea made with honey and cinnamon powder, when taken regularly,
arrests
the ravages of old age. Take four spoons of honey, one spoon
of cinnamon powder and three cups of water and boil to make like tea.
Drink 1/4 cup, three to four times a day. It keeps the skin fresh and
soft and arrests old age. Life spans also increases and even a 100
year old, starts performing the chores of a 20-year-old.

PIMPLES:
Three tablespoons of honey and one teaspoon of cinnamon powder
paste.
Apply this paste on the pimples before sleeping and wash it
next morning
with warm water. If done daily for two weeks, it removes
pimples from the root.

SKIN INFECTIONS:
Applying honey and cinnamon powder in equal parts on the
affected parts cures eczema, ringworm and all types of skin infections.

WEIGHT LOSS:
Daily in the morning one half hour before breakfast on an
empty stomach and at night before sleeping, drink honey and cinnamon
powder boiled in one cup of water. If taken regularly, it reduces the
weight of even the most obese person. Also, drinking this mixture
regularly does not allow the fat to accumulate in t he body even
though the person may eat a high calorie diet.

CANCER:
Recent research in Japan and Australia has revealed that
advanced cancer of the stomach and bones have been cured successfully.
Patients suffering from these kinds of cancer should daily take one
tablespoon of honey with one teaspoon of cinnamon powder for one month
three time s a day.

FATIGUE:
Recent studies have shown that the sugar content of honey is
more helpful rather than being detrimental to the strength of the
body. Senior citizens, who take honey and cinnamon powder in equal
parts, are more alert and flexible. Dr. Milton, who has done research,
says that a half tablespoon of honey taken in a glass of water and
sprinkle ed with cinnamon powder, taken daily after brushing and in
the afternoon at about 3:00 P.M. when the vitality of the body starts
to decrease, increases the vitality of the body within a week.

BAD BREATH:
People of South America, first thing in the morning, gargle
with one teaspoon of honey and cinnamon powder mixed in hot water, so
their breath stays fresh throughout the day.

HEARING LOSS:
Daily morning and night honey and cinnamon powder, taken in
equal parts
restore hearing. Remember when we were kids? We had toast with
real butter and cinnamon sprinkled on it!

Christmas Flowers

Makes: about 24 cookies
Prep: 40 minutes
Bake: 15 minutes

Ingredients
3/4 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup shortening
1-1/2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 cups all-purpose flour
Paste or liquid food coloring
Directions
1. In a large mixing bowl beat butter and shortening with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add sugar, baking powder, and salt. Beat until combined, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Beat in eggs and vanilla until combined. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. Using a wooden spoon, stir in any remaining flour (dough should be stiff).

2. Cover and chill dough at least 2 hours or overnight until dough is easy to handle.

3. Divide dough into portions, one for each color that you want to use. Knead food coloring into each portion, adding it slowly until the desired color is reached (colors lighten slightly when dough is baked). If desired, lightly knead two colors together for dough with a marbled appearance.

4. Break off small pieces of different colors of dough and form into flower shapes. (As a guideline, use about 1/2 teaspoon dough for each petal or leaf.)

5. Bake in a 300 degree F oven for 15 minutes or until edges are firm and cookies look set but bottoms are not brown. Transfer cookies to a wire rack; cool. Makes about 24 cookies.

This is for those of you that like Chinese Food.

Personally I've tried it once, and don't care for it.

Sweet And Sour Chicken
4 to 6 servings
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch strips
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon honey
1 can (20 ounces) pineapple chunks in juice, undrained
2 large red bell peppers, cut into thin strips
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons cornstarch
6 scallions, cut into 1-inch pieces

Preheat a stovetop wok over medium-high heat or an electric wok to 400 degrees F. Heat the oil until hot but not smoking. Add the chicken and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until no pink remains, stirring occasionally. Add the ketchup, honey, the pineapple and its juice, and the red peppers; cook for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the sauce begins to boil. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the soy sauce and cornstarch; whisk well. When the honey mixture is bubbling, add the soy sauce and cornstarch mixture; cook for 2 to 3 more minutes, or until heated through and the sauce has thickened. Add the scallions and toss until well coated.
