Hi Sandra,

As far as I can determine, Denny is alive and well. He just published his autobiography, titled "Didn't You Used To Be What's His Name?".

He has a website here: Denny Miller

The new Gorton's fisherman is actor Craig Littler, who starred in the 1979 TV series Jason of Star Command, has made hundreds of commercials and was the actor who first spoke the line, "Pardon me, would you have some Grey Poupon?"

Hello Don,

See below.

Phaed

Licorice Ice Cream

4 eggs (suggest liquid pasteurized eggs, available at most supermarkets) 
2 1/2 cups sugar 
4 cups whipping cream 
1 tablespoon anise flavoring 
1/4 teaspoon lemon flavoring 
1/4 teaspoon salt 
Milk as needed to fill ice-cream canister three-quarters full  
Turquoise food color, optional 

Beat eggs; add sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, beating after each addition. 
Add whipping cream, anise and lemon flavorings, salt and food color, 
if desired. Mix until well blended. Pour into freezer can and add milk 
to three-quarters full. Freeze in 5- to 6-quart freezer according to 
manufacturer's directions. 
 --------------------
Licorice chunk ice cream

Yield: 1 Batch 
1 1/2 c Whipping cream 
1 1/2 c Milk 
? c Sugar 
3  Egg yolks 
1 ts Vanilla extract 
2 tb Aniseed 
1/2 c Black licorice whips;chopped 

In a heavy 2-quart saucepan or double boiler over medium-low heat, 
stir and heat the cream, milk, and sugar until the sugar dissolves. 
Do not boil. In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks lightly. While
whisking, pour 1 cup of the hot cream mixture into the bowl, then 
pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan and place over medium-low
heat. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon (don't let the mixture boil; 
it could curdle) for about 8 minutes, or until it begins to thicken 
and coats the spoon. To test for doneness, dip a metal spoon into the 
mixture and run your finger across the back. The custard is done when
your finger leaves a clear, clean trail. A candy thermometer should 
read 175-180 degrees F. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the
vanilla. With a mortar and pestle, roughly crush the aniseed, or place
the seeds in a plastic bag and bruise them with a hammer. Stir the
crushed seeds into the hot ice cream base. Cover and chill in the
refrigerator for at least 1 hour (the longer it is refrigerated, the
stronger the flavor will be). Strain the mixture and add the chopped
licorice pieces. Pour the mixture into an ice-cream maker and freeze
according to the manufacturer's instructions.

except vanilla, in a heavy saucepan over medium high heat. Stir
frequently until mixture just comes to a boil. In a steady stream, 
slowly whisk mixture into beaten egg yolks. Return mixture to pan 
over medium low heat and cook, stirring constantly, until it registers
170°F on a candy thermometer (do not boil). Remove from heat. Stir in

licorice pieces. Cover and chill in refrigerator. Freeze in an ice 
cream maker 20-30 minutes until frozen.

Hello Albert,

Cioppino is a fish stew created by Italian American fishermen in San Francisco. It's technically an American dish, although it has a Genovese name and was based on Italian fish stew recipes.

See below and these sites for recipes:

Soupsong

Cioppino

Phaed

Cioppino

1/4 cup olive oil
2 medium onions, diced
1 bunch scallions, chopped
1 green pepper, diced
1/2 bulb fennel, diced (optional, but very good)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 quart of fish stock or cold water
3 cans Italian tomatoes (16 oz.) including juice
1 cup dry white wine
2 bay leaves
salt and pepper to taste
2 pounds assorted white firm-fleshed fish
(swordfish, halibut, snapper, cod)
8-10 littleneck clams
3-4 hard-shelled crabs, if available
15-20 medium shrimp
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
8-10 slices Italian or sourdough bread
 

Heat the oil in a large soup pot. Add the onions, scallions, 
peppers and fennel and sauté until the onions are translucent. 
add the garlic and continue to sauté until the aroma becomes 
apparent. Be careful not to brown or burn the garlic. Add the 
white wine and cook until reduced by half. Add the fish stock 
or water, tomatoes and bay leaves. Cover the pot and simmer 
slowly for about 45 minutes, adding more water if necessary 
to maintain a fair amount of broth. Remove and discard the bay 
leaves. Add the clams and crabs and simmer for about ten minutes. 
Add the shrimp and fish and simmer until the fish is cooked 
through and flakes easily. Add the chopped basil and adjust the 
salt and pepper as needed. During the final 15 or 20 minutes of 
cooking, rub the slices of bread with a little olive oil and the 
cut side of a garlic clove and toast lightly under the broiler 
or in the oven. To serve put one of the bread slices in a soup 
bowl and ladle the stew over it. Accompany with a dry white wine 
such as Sauvignon Blanc, Frascati or Pinot Grigio. Should serve 
8 to ten.

Armenian Himayag's Shish Kebab
by Monug Piligian

1 leg of lamb, boned and cubed (l"-l1/2" cubes)
6 - 8 whole green peppers, cut in half and deseeded
6 -8 whole red tomatoes
1 med. eggplant, cut in 11/2" cubes
2 lge. onions, sliced and coarsely chopped
1/2 bunch fresh parsley, cleaned and chopped
salt, pepper to taste
1 tsp. red pepper (opt.)
juice of 1 lemon

When cubing lamb, cut out all gristle, leaving a little bit of fat 
(not skin). Mix meat with parsley, onions and pepper. Cover bowl 
and refrigerate overnight.

Three or four hours prior to barbecuing, add lemon juice and mix 
well. The salt is added just before skewering meat.

Place meat on skewer (not too tight) . Green peppers, tomatoes, 
and eggplant are placed on separate skewers. Do not combine 
vegetables on same skewers because each one cooks at a different 
rate. Remaining onions and parsley may be used as garnish.

Place all skewers on a hot charcoal grill turning often to cook 
evenly. Lightly oil all vegetables with a pastry brush while cooking 
to prevent them from burning. After 15 minutes remove one piece of 
meat from skewer and cut in half so as to test to see if well done.

After shish kebab and vegetables are cooked, remove from skewers 
into large roasting pan. Serve immediately to insure the utmost of
quality and flavor.

1 pound of bone-in lamb will serve one adult.

Armenian Pizza (Lahmajoon)
by Azniv Charkoudian

Dough:
6 cups flour

2 cups canned tomatoes
2 tsp. salt
pinch of cayenne
pinch of blk. pepper
2 med. onions, finely chopped
1/2 cup parsley, finely chopped
1/2 cup green pepper, finely chopped

Dough:
Place yeast and 1 tbsp. sugar in 1/2 cup water and let stand for 
a few minutes. Use a dutch oven type pan with cover for kneading 
dough. Combine 6 cups flour, 11/2 tsp. salt, 2 tbsp. sugar, 3 tbsp.
shortening, 11/2 cups water. Add yeast preparation and knead. Use

stand until dough is double in size (about 2-3 hours).

Meat Filling:
Place all ingredients in bowl and mix well. Place in refrigerator 
until ready to use.

Rolling out of dough:
Take raised dough and make 12 balls. Now cut each ball in half, 
making a total of 24 balls. Place balls on tray sprinkled with flour. 
Let stand 10 minutes.

Roll out each ball to 7" diameter and place on cookie sheet. Place 
11/2 heaping tablespoons of meat mixture on each rolled dough and 
spread evenly. Bake in 450o oven. Place tray on bottom shelf for 
10 minutes and then move to top shelf for an additional 5 minutes.

Remove from cookie sheet and place, staggered, on a tray to cool. 
(do not stack) When cold, stack with meat filling facing each other 
and place in refrigerator. When serving, it can be warmed by placing 
in a 325o oven for 5 minutes. May also be served cold.

Makes 2 dozen
