Pa Dutch Sailors;
 

Scott and Scout;

Just wanted you to know there will be a Dutch Tradition at Christmas
Dinner today at my Son's Home.

I've baked three pies; An Amish Apple, a Raisin Pie (Funeral Pie) and a
Cherry.

I became a real fan of Pa Dutch baking and missed it so much here in the
NW. I learned to bake their pies after my wife died. I've gotten pretty
damn good at it. Enough so. that I get requests for the pies. Even from
the Bellingham Police department. ( My Daughter-in-law works there)

Scout, I lived in Philly for thirty-two years.
Twenty of them in Lower Bucks ( Blue Ridge Section of Levittown) Worked
for the Atlantic Refining Company on Passyunk Ave. Commuted on I-130.

Ole Thom

Merry Christmas Thom,
Count me in for a slice of each pie! Don't forget the shoo-fly though, it's
my favorite of the Amish varieties!
I grew up in Indian Creek, right across from you!! I was on Inwood Road,
I'll be we weren't more than a mile apart. How 'bout that! I went to
Immaculate on Emily Road, then Bishop Egan, then Woodrow Wilson.
Re Arco: You probably knew some of my steamfitter brethren at the refinery
(L.U. 420).

Sounds good Thom. We had a nice family gathering at my Moms house.
Turkey and all the trimmings. She made apple pie and pumpkin pie and
we imported a pecan pie from VA. Oh, and two big cans of Christmas
cookies.

I learned to make sweet potato pie when I had to move away from some
sweet little old Baptist ladies who used to cook for me. Over twenty
years, I've learned to make it well enough that friends & nephews rave
about it (it's rare for a pie to survive a sitting) but I still haven't
gotten it quite as good as they used to make.

I love rhubarb pie too, but it's a rare commodity this far south.

CM,

A good pie but this is Berry Country out here and they make a
Strawberry-Rhubarb pie with a struesel topping that is ; "to Die for!!!"
It is one of my favorites.

A fresh Crab Louis and a piece of S-R pies is one of the Summer favorite
meal on "Pneuma" during summer sailing/ crabbing season. Served with
instant Folgers. Right Scotti

Ole Thom
P/S What kind of Shoo-fly Pie? Wet or dry bottom?

Hey CM,

I make a pretty damn good "Bisquik" Rhubard Dumplin in a sauce that is
pretty easy. It is a returning home treat after a winter's sail. I bake
them on the "Heat Pal" in the Dutch over but have been known to be baked
at home, for a Sunday Brunch.

If you're interested I'll pass it on to you. At this time of year I use
frozen Rhubarb.

Ole Thom

Wet bottom Thom, it's gotta be gooey!

Coincidence.... I just had Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Last Night.... I agree

Darned right..... post the recipe!

It will be a change from the Apple Crumble I usually cook up. I've got about
10 lbs of frozen Rhubarb from the garden.

Would you consider sending me some? I'll trade you, a sweet potato pie
and a mantelpiece lighthouse that plays 'Fur Elise'

Too bad it's not on the menu at my favorite restaurant.




Pathetic Earthlings! No one can save you now!

Wet bottom! No point killing all those flies if it ain't wet on the
bottom.

Sounds like you'd make a good 'wife' for Ganz.

OK Crapton,

Was looking for a reason to post the recipe on the list; that gay remark
did the trick!
RHUBARB DUMPLINGS

Sauce
1 1/2 cups of sugar
1 1/2 cups of water
1 Tbsp all-purpose flour
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 cup of butter ( a hvy cut of 1/2 stick of butter)
1/4 tsp grd cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
You can use Red Food Color for a red color; I don't like food dye on my
boat, so its optional

The Dumplings will need a 350 degree oven.

In a small saucepan, combine sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt. Gradually
mix in the water and butter. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook for
1 minute. Add vanilla. Now is the time to add coloring if you use it.
Let it cool. Actually the sauce can be made ahead of time and re-heated

DOUGH

2 cups of "Bisquik" @ package instructions. If you desire you can add
sugar and butter ( About 2 tbsp of butter an 2 tbsp sugar) I don't
To the; Bisquik add about 1/2 cups of milk
Do this in a good size bowl and stir it quickly. (It should form a
"Ball" in about a dozen strokes. If it is to dry add a little more milk.
Stir again to get the ball. (This is all on the Bisquik Box.

If the ball is sticky flour a rolling board and kneed dough until it
isn't sticky but is soft. (I use the galley stove cover/cutting board)
Roll ball into a sheet about 12 x 10 inches add filling

FILLING

2 tbsps ( about 1/4 stick of butter0 softened
2 cups of finely chopped fresh or frozen rhubarb
1/2 cup sugar
Grd cinnamon

Spread the softened butter over the Bisquik rolled sheet and spread
rhubarb over that. Sprinkle sugar over all of that and Dust liberally
with cinnamon.

Roll up from the long side and with the seam side down, slice with a
sharp knife into 12 pieces. Arrange on a oiled pan or teflon pan, with
cut side up. Pour cooled sauce over dumplings.

Bake for about 1/2 Hr to 40 minutes. Dumpling should be puffy and golden
brown.

Served with Hvy cream or even half and half doesn't hurt but isn't
needed

To the group; Sorry
Ole Thom
P/S I asked about the Shoo-Fly Pie Btm because I make a rather dry
bottom, which I cut into cooky size portion as finger food. If anyone
wants it send me an e_mail and I'll reply.

Neal is still on the "gay" theme? Hahahahahahahaha

I like the wet bottom but with a glass of cold milk I'd be grateful for a
piece of shoo-dry pie!
If your emailing Thom, please include me!

you can email pie? I've had shoo-dry pie, didn't care for it. At one
picnic tho, there was a non wet-bottom, but the pie was very molassasy
throughout, that was good.

Add lots of cold milk and you got yourself a shoo-fly-orgy.
