Hi Phaedrus.
haven't bothered you in a long time, but here I am back again.
When I was a little girl, my friend's mother used to make gingersnaps.
They were rolled thin and cut with a round biscuit cutter. Would you
have such a recipe? I've looked everywhere.

Hi Em,
There are hundreds of recipes on the web for both "gingersnaps" and the
alternate two word spelling "ginger snaps". However, I only found a few
that called for rolling and cutting with cookie cutters. See below for three.
Phaed
Swedish Gingersnaps
1 c. butter
1 1/2 c. sugar
1 egg
2 tbsp. dark molasses
2 tsp. soda
1 tbsp. warm water
3 c. flour
2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. ginger
1/2 tsp. cloves
Cream butter, sugar and egg. Mix molasses, soda and water, then add
to butter mixture. Add dry ingredients. Put in refrigerator to cool.
Roll out thin. Use cookie cutter. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 minutes.
--------------------------------------
Old - Fashioned Gingersnaps
1/2 c. molasses
4 tbsp. shortening
1 1/2 c. flour
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1 1/2 tsp. powdered ginger
3/4 tsp. salt
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Heat the molasses to the boiling point,
pour it over the shortening, and stir to combine well. Mix together the
flour, baking soda, ginger, and salt and add to the molasses mixture,
blending well. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out on an unfloured
board as thin as possible. Cut into 1 1/2-inch rounds with a small cutter
or the edge of a small drinking glass. Bake on ungreased cookie sheets for
about 5 minutes or until crisp and dry. Makes about 50 cookies.

Ginger Snaps
1 c. molasses
1 c. shortening
1 c. sugar
1 tsp. soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
2 tsp. ginger
1 tsp. salt
4 c. flour
Heat molasses, shortening, and sugar together until shortening is melted.
Cool. Add soda, dissolved in 2 tablespoons water. Sift spices and salt
with part of the flour. Stir into the first mixture and then add the
rest of the flour gradually until dough is still enough to roll. Chill.
Roll on slightly floured board until very thin. Cut with a cookie cutter
and bake at 325 degrees for 10- 12 minutes. Yields 120 cookies.

Hi Phaed: Perhaps U can assist me in finding why I cannot find any
Korean Black or Red garlic in the US of A. I plant garlic every year
and just found out about that garlic. I found a nursery in the UK that
sells it for 2.49 lbs. That is the cost for 2 bulbs. How about S & H?
It is costly I am sure. Is there a ban on the product?
Have a happy holiday season. My Hannukah holiday was within the boundary
of acceptable.

Hi Mel,
If they aren't sold out, I found Korean Black Garlic for sale at two places:
Amazon com
The Spice House
The thing about Korean Black Garlic is that i's not a variety of garlic,
it's Korean red garlic ( Allium sativum) that has been fermented.
As for the red, there's no ban, but demand has outstripped supply. There's
just none available. Evereyone is sold out. It's one of the latest fad foods
and is even sold as a health food. There won't be any until the 2011 crops
come in in the spring. If you want to plant it, you can order seeds here:
High Mowing Seeds
Southern Exposure
Garlic Seed Foundation
A Garden Place
These places sells it, but may be sold out:
The Garlic Store
Enon Valley Garlic

Subject: Dog Team Tavern's French Dressing Recipe
Hi, Phaedrus:
I was a devoted fan of the Dog Team Tavern all my life, and my family
and I truly mourn its passing even now. I already have their famous
sticky bun recipe, but they did a wonderful, surprisingly light oil
and vinegar based French dressing (on the top of which floated tons
of herbs) that I adored. I didn't see the recipe for this in your
archives anywhere.
I know they gave the recipe to this dressing out freely, as I used to
have it, but subsequent moves later I can no longer lay my hands to it.
If you could find it, I would be eternally grateful.
The Dog Team Tavern was located 4 miles north of Middlebury, VT, on
Route 7. It burned to the ground in 2006. The French dressing was
one of the three they offered at the table with their tossed salad.
Thank you in advance for anything you can come up with.
Jeri
Hi Jeri,
Well, I found two recipes for "Dog Team Tavern Dressing". I didn't
find any mention of a DTT dressing anywhere that called it "French"
dressing, but if it was reddish colored, like French Dressing in the
USA usually is, then I'd say #1 below is the one you want. If it wasn't
the red one, then I'd try #2. Maybe these were two of the three that you mention.
