Magical Tricks with Flavor!

I just discovered a goldmine! The Minute Rice website offers a collection of vintage recipes, including this one, which I thought was appropriate given the holiday season:


Recipes on the ads include such beauties as Thrifty Drumstick Surprise (made with hamburger), Minute Rice and Tuna Treat, and Hot Diggity Stew.

Yes. I said it. Hot Diggity Stew


That's where the magic happens.

Shooting's Fun for Everyone... Except the Squirrels

Just for the record, this is not a political statement. I'm neither for nor against guns. But golly gee, this is just such a great picture that I had to post it!


Just in case you've been out having some fun and it is squirrel hunting season in your neck of the woods, here's a recipe for you.


That danged squirrel practically cooks itself!

Serve with rice, especially if you need to feed a crowd.

Calling Outdoorsmen! Coot Stew!

I don't think I need to say much about this, other than to say that this guy is clearly a manly man/artist.
You can tell because there is only one butterfly in his gun-centric still life. Not to mention his recipe humor.

Down East Coot Stew

My father had, what he always claimed was a recipe for the finest stew a man could sit down to:
Pluck and singe four or five white winged coot (mud hens).

Marinate the skinned and dressed birds, along with a block of pine wood (needed to remove gaminess) in a solution of water and vinegar for a period of two days, or at least overnight. After marination period; place birds in a large kettle. Add salt, pepper and herbs to taste, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer along with pine block.

When nearly tender, add several large potatoes, carrots, turnip, parsnip, onions, and continue cooking until all is properly succulent. Then throw away the Coot and serve vegetables along with the pine block.
