Subject: yellow Cake Recipe?
I am looking for a hand-made (scratch) cake recipe that I saw in a story in Guideposts
Magazine. It had all the basics:flour, sugar, eggs .The eggs were separated and whites
(whipped) added in the latter part of the recipe.I believe it was called Birthday Yellow
Cake, Layer Cake, Yellow Cake.
It was sometime within 2006-current issue.Libraries do not carry back issues anymore.
The story had to do with a woman who did not have a cake mix, and found that she had
all the ingredients to make it anyways.Hope that helps.
Hi Gina,
Sorry, I had no success locating this.

Good morning,
My grandmother used to make a potato soup - using buttermilk -- (it was
either polish or german) -- she also made what she called (phonetic -
Kleezel) - flour and other ingredients made into large raisin sizes and
dropped into the soup at the end.Any ideas???
Best

Hello Bev,
Sorry, no idea. I cannot find a recipe that fits that description. It's not
the usual German Potato Soup or German Buttermilk Potato Soup and it's not
the usual Polish Potato Soup. I have no way to search for something by
phonetic spelling, I need the correct spelling. I have several German
cookbooks, but it's not in them, and there is nothing in them with a name
like "kleezel".
Look through these recipes. There may be something there you'll like:

A reader sends this possibility:

German Buttermilk Potatoe Soup
Ingredients:
3 slices bacon
3 cups potatoes, peeled and diced
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 stalks celery, finely chopped, leaves okay
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
Rivels (little homemade egg noodles)
2 cups buttermilk milk
3 tablespoons butter
Instructions:
Chop the bacon fine and fry in a skillet until crisp and brown. Place the cooked bacon
in a large saucepan and add the potatoes, onion, celery, salt and pepper. Cover with water
and cook until vegetables are tender, about 25 minutes. Dribble the rivels into gently boiling
soup while stirring constantly so they stay separate. Add the milk and butter and cook for
10 to 15 minutes more or until rivels are done.
For the Rivels: Pour 1 cup flour on a flat surface such as a cutting board. Make a well in the
center, then pour in a slightly beaten egg to which 1 teaspoon salt has been added. Using your
hands and a knife, work these 3 ingredients together into a noodle type pastry. Knead once or
twice, then chop it into small pea size pieces.

Subject: A snack that I bought from a street vendor in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
Several years ago I worked some stints in the middle east.
I bought some snacks from a street vendor, who cooked them right there.
The items were made of a thin egg batter, spiced of course, with small
pieces of cooked lamb incorporated in it.He made the pancakes ?? about
10 or 12 inches in diameter. and folded them up when done.
He served them with very small limes.
I know its not much to go on, but if you can help me I would really
appreciate it
Thanx
Tony
Hello Tony,
I don't know what that might be. I have two books of Middle-Eastern street vendors'
recipes, but nothing in them seems right. The only thing I can find that's even
remotely similar is samboosak. See:

Uncle, hope you can help.I would love to have the lemon pepper salad dressing from
this restaurant.It's wonderful - mayble lemon juice, oil, sugar????But it's kinda
thick.Hope you can help.I'm having St. Louis folk for dinner down here in SE Ark and
would love to surprise them.
Sandy
Hi Sandy,
Sorry, no luck. Tucker's Place lemon pepper salad dressing is their "signature" dish,
and, as a result, is a closely guarded secret recipe. I looked for, but could not locate
a copycat.
