I've lost a no bake recipe with the following ingredients:
white chocolate, peanuts, rice krispies, small marshmellows
and possible peanut butter. I know you melt the chocolate
and pour over the combined ingredients. Drop on wax paper
and cool. They were easy to make, tasted wonderful, and
made almost enough for an army. Any idea what it was and
how to make it?

Hello Dan,
I've had "Reed's Jamaican Ginger Brew", which is a bit stronger than a ginger ale,
but not quite as strong as a ginger beer. There doesn't seem to be a recipe on the
web for ginger brew, but there are some for ginger beer. See below.
Phaed
Jamaican Ginger Beer
A few drops Bitters
2 Quarts (192 cl) Water
1 Cake Of (1 cake of) Yeast
5 oz. (15 cl) ginger
2 oz. (6 cl) Honey
2 oz. (6 cl) Lime Juice
1 Egg
24 oz. (72 cl) Sugar
Combine the ginger, sugar, honey, water, and lime juice in a
large pot. Add the yeast and the egg white; stir to blend.
Allow to stand in a cool, dark place for several days. When
ready, strain through cheesecloth; add more sugar to taste,
plus bitters. Bottle and refigerate until ready to use.

Subject: Medley Fruitcake
Guess it's lost for good -- I've searched my recipe files and
my Mom's - no luck, maybe you can help....
This fruitcake recipe titled, 'Medley Fruitcake' (from the 1930's
or 1940's?) has a long list of ingredients, including all the
candied fruits, including citron, raisins, currents, brown sugar,
apple cider and maybe two different kinds of nuts. The dried fruits
and nuts were mixed with the cider and honey/molasses and let stand
for a few days.
My Grandmother had the recipe she always put the cakes together and
baked the Friday after Thanksgiving - made one tube cake and several
smaller ones. I would love to have the recipe again for my Mom....
Thanks for any help....
Ellen

why do vinegar and baking soda bubble up when put together?
Hello Beth,
Vinegar is an acidic solution (acetic acid - CH3COOH), and baking soda(NaHCO3)
is a base, or alkaline solution. When you combine the acid and base, a chemical
reaction takes place which causes the baking soda to split into water and carbon
dioxide gas. Here's the chemical equation:
CH3COOH + NaHCO3 ---> CH3COO-Na+ + H2O + CO2
(Vinegar) + (Baking Soda) ----> (an unnamed salt) + (water) + (carbon dioxide gas)
The bubbling is the production of carbon dioxide gas (CO2).
