Subject: Artic Circle - Secret Sauce
In Utah there is a fast food chain called Artic Circle and they
make a special sauce that they put on their hamburgers and also
serve as a dipping sauce for their french fries. I believe that
it has mayo, ketsup etc. Would love to have the recipe/clone for
this sauce if you can find it. I've contacted their headquarters
myself with no luck....HELP!!!
Diane
Hi Diane,
I found a post by an ex-arctic circle employee who said the sauce is very simple.
Just equal parts of :
Mayonnaise
Buttermilk
Ketchup

Subject: Recipe Search -- Banana Cookies
Hi,
I'm looking for a recipe for Banana Cookies -- from My Great Recipes
-- they were mail order laminated index type cards with the picture
on one side and the recipe on the other. I probably ordered them 20
to 15 years ago.
Thanks for your help.
Mrs. Stroobants
Hi Mrs. Stroobants,
Sorry, there are a few hundred banana cookie recipes, but none that say they are from "My Great recipes."
The one below is from a 1953 Betty Crocker Cookbook.
Phaed
Banana Cookies
From the Betty Crocker Cooking Book © 1953
1 cup soft shortening (part butter)
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2)
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 tsp. vanilla
3 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt (omit if using salted butter
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Mix well the shortening, sugar, and the eggs. Stir in the bananas,
buttermilk, and vanilla. Blend the flour, soda, and salt (if used).
Chill one hour. Heat oven to 375°F. Drop rounded teaspoonfuls 2
inches apart on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake about ten minutes.

Eggless Banana Refrigerator Cookies from "My Great Recipes" cards
Ingredients:
Yield: 10 dozen cookies
1 cup butter or 1 cup margarine
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup fully ripe banana, mashed
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Directions:
1) Cream together butter, sugar and vanilla. Add bananas and beat until well mixed.
2) Sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Add a little of the banana mixture at a time, beating well after each addition. Dough will be sticky.
3) Divide dough into 4 parts. Put 1 part on each of 4 sheets of waxed paper. Dampen hands and shape dough into long rolls, 1-inch in diameter.
4) Wrap rolls. Refrigerate or freeze until firm enough to slice easily.
5) Using a serrated knife, cut into 1/2-inch thick slices. Place 2-inches apart on oiled cookie sheets.
6) Bake at 375 about 10 minutes or until edges begin to brown. Lift edge of a cookie to be sure they are not getting too brown.
7) Remove cookies to wire racks to cool. Store airtight.
Tips: Oiled cookie sheets are required for these cookies. Brown speckled bananas are ideal for this recipe for they mash nicely and have excellent flavor.
Properly wrapped rolls of ready-to-slice dough can remain in the refrigerator up to 10 days.

Hello Peter,
Hmmm.... I could not find a restaurant recipe for jar-doo, char-doo,
jar-du, or char-du, with or without the hyphens. I did, however, find
a Chinese restaurant ad that said jar-doo chicken wings are Chinese
barbecued chicken wings. You know, China is a very big country, and
people living in neighboring provinces often have different names for
the same foods. Below is a recipe for jar doo chicken wings. Maybe these
are close to what you want.
