Subject: request for cold lasagna
Hi
I made this fabulous breakfast lasagna for a brunch several years ago and have lost the recipe.
It featured regular lasagna noodles, but there were cranberries and farmer's cheese in the filling.
You baked it like a regular lasagna, but then refrigerated it and ate it for breakfast, cold.
I've looked up "breakfast lasagna" and i get this odd recipe with hash browns in it, lol.
Any help would be appreciated.

Subject: espresso chocolate cookies
Hi, many years ago, I went to the Sundried Tomotoe Cafe in Whiitier, Ca. They served
a cookie called the Espresso chocolate cookie, the cafe is no longer there, but there
is one in Orange, Ca. Would you please see if you can obtain that recipe?
Hello Margaret,
There are no recipes extant from the Sun Dried Tomato Cafe (either one) as far as I can tell.
There is another espresso chocolate cookie recipe below.

Barbecued Baby Back Ribs
Ingredients
5 lbs back ribs (2 racks)
1/4 cup honey
7-8 ounces hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons reduced soy sauce
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 tablespoon minced peeled ginger
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 1/2 teaspoons black bean sauce
1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
1/4 teaspoon liquid smoke
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Directions
1 Boil ribs for 3 minutes.
2 Trim any excess fat from racks of ribs. Cut ribs in half, to form 4 pieces total.
Place two in one gallon size zip top plastic bag, and the other two in a second zip
top bag. In a large measuring cup or bowl, combine honey and hoisin sauce. Whisk in
the soy sauce. Add ketchup, ginger, garlic, black bean sauce, hot pepper sauce, liquid
smoke, black pepper, cayenne, onion powder and garlic powder to measuring cup. Whisk
to blend, then divide evenly between bags of ribs, about 3/4 cup marinade in each.
3 Seal bags and refrigerate, turning occasionally. Marinate overnight (or for at least 8 hours).
4 Heat gas grill to medium heat, or prepare charcoal grill with briquettes piled to one side.
When ready to cook, turn off half the burners (on gas grill). Remove ribs from marinade,
pouring remaining marinade into a small saucepan. Place ribs over turned-off burners or
on side without coals. Bring sauce to a boil; boil 3 minutes.
5 Cook for 1-1 1/2 hours, turning and basting with sauce. When done, slice ribs apart and enjoy.
6 Note: The ribs can be cooked in the oven before traveling. Place ribs on a rack over a foil-lined
pan. Bake at 375 for 1 hour, turning and basting several times. Heat on grill before slicing and serving.

In 1932, Victor Bergeron started is first little pub called Hinky Dink's in Oakland, California.
He soon became famous for his tropical cocktail concoctions and delicious Americanized adaptations
of Polynesian food. By 1936, Hinky Dink's had grown and become known as Trader Vic's. I've eaten
at his restaurans for over 50 years.
Recipes for Trader Vic's Ribs have changed over the many years of business. Their current version of
the sauce is offered for sale on line at:

Here are a couple of recipe clones for other versions of the ribs:
Timm in Oregon
Trader Vic's Barbecued Ribs
Instructions:
For the Plum Sauce
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 cup plum sauce
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons dry sherry
2 tablespoons ginger, peeled and finely minced
2 tablespoons garlic, peeled and minced
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
For the Ribs:
3 pounds pork back ribs
3 tablespoons sugar
Instructions:
For the Plum Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together all of the sauce ingredients; set aside.
For the Ribs: Preheat the oven to 350F degrees. Rub the sugar on all sides of ribs. Place on
greased or sprayed rack, in a foil lined roasting pan, meat side up.
Tightly cover and bake the ribs for 1-1/4 hours and then drain the juices from the pan; remove
the rack and return the ribs to the pan. Spread the plum sauce over the ribs, turning to coat.
Leave the pan uncovered and bake the ribs for 40 minutes or until the ribs are tender and glazed,
turning and basting at least twice.

Trader Vic's Barbecued Baby Back Ribs
Ingredients:
For the Ribs:
2 racks (about 4 pounds total) pork baby back ribs
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons salt
For the Glaze:
1/2 cup hoisin sauce
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup Thai style sweet chili sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
For Serving:
1/4 cup sesame seeds, toasted
Instructions:
For the Ribs: In a sealable plastic bag, combine the sugar and salt, shaking to mix.
Cut the racks into halves or thirds to fit inside the bag. Add ribs to bag and toss
to distribute sugar mixture evenly. Seal the bag and refrigerate at least 2 hours and
up to 4 hours.
For the Glaze: Combine the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, chili sauce, garlic, ginger, sugar,
sesame oil and pepper in a bowl, whisking until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until ready
to use.
Preheat the oven to 300F degrees. Remove the ribs from sugar mixture and pat with paper
towels. Arrange on an aluminum foil lined rimmed baking sheet and brush both sides with
about 3/4 cup barbecue glaze. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let stand at room
temperature 20 minutes.
Remove the plastic and bake, basting with the pan juices every 30 minutes, until tender,
about 1-1/2 to 2 hours. If pan gets too dry and juices begin to burn, add up to 1 cup water,
scraping and stirring to dissolve caramelized juices. Remove from the oven and let sit,
covered with aluminum foil, until ready to grill.
Preheat a charcoal or gas grill to medium hot. Grill the ribs, turning and brushing with
barbecue glaze, about 25 minutes or until dark golden brown. Check often, as the sugar in
the sauce can burn quickly. Transfer ribs to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes.
To Serve: Sprinkle the ribs with sesame seeds; cut the racks into individual ribs and
arrange on a platter. Serve hot, warm or at room temperature.

Subject: Chicken Pie
Hi Phaedrus,
This is a recipe I have never able to obtain or duplicate. It is the chicken pie served
by the Chicken Pie Shop in San Diego, CA. They have been in business since I was a little
kid. They are now located on El Cajon Blvd. if that helps.
The chicken pie is a combination of chicken and turkey. The gravy in the pie is a thick,
creamy gravy and there are no vegetables at all, just chicken, turkey and gravy. It is
the best chicken pie I have ever had.
If you can help, I will be so grateful.
Thanks,
Patti
Hi Patti,
Sorry, it seems that The Chicken Pie Shop does not give out their recipes and no one has
been able to create a copycat.
