Paddy Wagon Rice Patties

Actually, not a bad snack to pack if your going hiking, biking, or plan on being arrested. They can be eaten hot or cold.

1/4 cup butter
1/4 pound chopped mushrooms
2 tablespoons wheat flour
4 tablespoons soy, rice, or regular milk
2 teaspoons parsley
2 teaspoons curry powder
2 eggs or substitute
1-2 cup cooked brown rice
breadcrumbs
salt and pepper

Saute the mushrooms in butter until they are tender. Add the flour and milk; stir into a smooth sauce. Remove from heat. Add parsley, salt, pepper, curry, 1 beaten egg. Add rice slowly until mixture is able to be formed into patties, (Note: The original recipe did not include exactly how much rice needed to be added, so just add a bit at a time until you reach the desired consistency.) Cool patties, dip into beaten egg mixture, then breadcrumbs. Brown well in oil. Drain and serve.

This is the book I used to make my "yummy!" icon. Here are some recipes from it that sound intriguing.

Here are two old family recipes, not from cookbooks just passed down on recipe cards. Unfortunately I don't have pictures of either, but have had both and made the ham sauce many many times, it's my husband's favorite thing with ham.

GREAT GRANDMA'S CHILI SAUCE

18 Large tomatoes, peeled & chopped
6 onions, chopped
5 peppers, chopped
1 teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon cloves
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2-1/2 cups sugar (we use 1 cup)
1 cup vinegar

cook 2 hours – can.
We usually can in the larger canning jars, then its really good over pork loin cooked low & slow.

GREAT GREAT GRANDMOTHER'S HAM SAUCE

1/2 cup condensed tomato soup
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup prepared mustard
1/2 cup vinegar
1/2 cup butter
3 egg yolks, beaten

In a medium-small saucepan over medium heat mix all ingredients except egg yolks. Whisk until butter melts and sugar is dissolved. Lower heat to simmer and incorporate egg yolks until sauce thickens. Remove from heat and let cool prior to refrigerating.
Serve with ham, really good with leftover ham on sandwiches or good for dipping kielbasa in.
