MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00

Title: Poppin' Fresh Barbe Cups
Categories: Cheese, Main dish, Beef
Yield: 6 servings

3/4 lb Ground beef; lean
2 t Brown sugar
1/2 c Barbecue sauce; **
1 t Onion; minced
12 ea Biscuits; *
3/4 c Cheddar; sharp, shredded

* Use 1 8-oz tube of store bought biscuits, or your favorite 12
biscuit ** Use store bought sauce or your favorite recipe.

In a skillet brown the ground beef and then drain off the excess
fat. Add the bbq sauce, onion and brown sugar and set aside. Separate
the biscuit dough into 12 pieces and place one in each of 12
ungreased muffin cups, pressing the dough up the sides to the edge of
the cup. Spoon the mixture into the cups and sprinkle with the
shredded Cheddar Cheese. Bake in a preheated 400 degrees F. oven for
12 minutes. Serve hot. VARIATIONS: Use 1 13-oz can of chili beans in
place of the meat mixture (or 1 13-oz can of baked beans, and
frankfurters or hot dogs that have been cut into pieces) in place of
the meat mixture. You can also add green bell pepper or a hot pepper
to the above recipe with good results. Source unknown but it is
tempting to blame a riff on a Pillsbury recipe

Agreed. In order to purchase fresh corn on the cob, Gail has to have it
pass the thumbnail test. We have run into growers who take objection to
that, saying something like "all my corn is fresh" or "don't touch my
corn". To that, we say OK -- we won't touch your corn, and then move
onto the next booth.

Hi Michael,

Best I just forget about any possible skeletons in closets.

Probably best, though most of these are not
even figurative skeletons.

Let sleeping dogs lie, then.

Most often the best course. There is a difference
between friendly interest and idle curiosity, and
the line is mutable depending on the subject matter.

bring it up.

OK, by the time I see him again, I'll probably have long forgotten this conversation.

All of our growers are local to the area; I think no more

than a 50 > ML> mile > (might be more or less) radius from WF.

It would be nice if one could be confident about
all the merchandise also being local in origin.

AFAIK, this is all local so you shouldn't have any qualms about

buying > local at our market.

Don't see where there would be any objections to that. I picked up some
yellow and zuchinni squash at the market today--checked out a number of
each of them before putting aside the ones I ended up buying. I didn't
sniff them tho. I do the same in grocery stores.

Depends on how things are going. As you said about
sleeping dogs.

If he's not busy, he wouldn't mind it. I mentioned it today--he said
he'd melt them for the copper. Trouble is, pennies have been made with
zinc (and a copper coating) for a number of years now so he would not be getting much copper out of them.

Happens. Word has it things like that will
happen with greater frequency.

Either that or we'll all not need our winter jackets, boots, gloves, etc.

And then we'll miss that season, much as we howl
about it nowadays.

Some would be happy to miss it and not fuss at all, others would howl
all "season" about it. I missed it a bit while we were in HI but not
that much, overall.

Of course, galaktoboureko doesn't require
anything beyond a 350 oven.

That would be done inside, in the range.

Figured.

And I do have on hand most of the ingredients list that you sent to Nancy. Send me a list closer on to the picnic so I can double check.

Raw sugar wouldn't work?

much to regret about someone dying after living that

having never smoked anything in her life.

I've heard of it--Christopher Reeves' wife went the same way, at a much
younger age. Did this friend's father smoke? Second hand smoke is just
as lethal as first hand--that's why I try to stay clear of anyone
smoking.

Funny. It's a pretty standard saturated
vegetable fat smell.

I've never smelled an immature coconut.

You may have the opportunity. Do you happen to
have a machete lying round the house?

No, but we have cleavers.

It didn't trigger a yuckdar but we thought the food wasn't quite as good
