Subject: looking for a receipe
First off, thank you so much for providing this service. We really appreciate it.
We (my husband, children and my Mom and Dad and I) were extremely fortnuate to be
able to take our 1st cruise last summer. We went with the Carnival cruise lines.
We tried so many foods that were amazing, but the one that my boys loved the most
is of course the one receipe that I can't find. It's the Spring Chicken. We have
had Spring Chicken other places, but something about the one on the cruise, made
a hit with them. Since then, we have bought cookbooks, looked on the web and library
and so forth, and I have NOT been able to find it. If you could find this, I would be
so grateful. It's not everyday that you find something that makes that kind of hit with
a 14 yr old and 10 yr old boys, (unless its McDonalds, etc.) again., thank you so much
on this service, even if you can't find anything, I still apprecaite your efforts.
Thanks,
Christina from TN
Hi Christina,
Well, it's probably not on the Internet, since neither you nor I could find it.
Here's the way it's described on the Carnival menu:
Carnival Dining
Spring Chicken Santa Lucia, chicken breast stuffed with ham and banana, rolled coconut
breading served with sweet potato dumplings
Carnival sells cookbooks of their dishes. It might be in one of those. See:
Bon Voyage
If not, then I'm afraid your last hope is to write to Carnival and beg. There should be an
e-mail contact address on their site at:

Subject: Johnny Cake
My Aunt was in the Guardian Angel Home for orphans in Joliet, Illinois from about
1930 - 1935. The German nuns (they were from Germany) made a cake they called
"Johnny Cake." It was a big brown cake with no frosting. It was neither cornmeal
cake nor cornbread nor was it Gingerbread. It might have contained molasses.
Anyway my aunt always talked about how delicious it was. The Guardian Angel Home
is still in existence in Joliet.
If you find this recipe, you are truly a detective
Adele
Hello Adele,
I wish I could help, but I had no success. There are lots of mentions on the Internet
of the Guardian Angels Home in Joliet, but there are no recipes from there and no mentions
of a "Johnny Cake" in connection with the home. I also searched for a German johnny cake
recipe, but nothing turned up that sounded like your description. Sorry.

the dry ingredients alternately with with cider, stirring well after each

I may have a similar recipe to what Adele is looking for. It came from my
aunt in Iowa and was a popular cake in the 1930’s and 40’s. It was sometimes
served with Molasses butter.
Timm in Oregon
German Molasses Cake
Ingredients:
1/2 cup dark molasses
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup boiling water
2-1/4 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, melted
Instructions:
Combine the molasses, baking soda and boiling water in large bowl; it will start to foam up.
In separate bowl combine the remaining ingredients; the mixture will be crumbly. Mix the
molasses mixture with crumbly mixture, just until incorporated. Pour the batter into a round
shallow 8 or 9 inch cake pan and bake at 350F degrees for approximately 45 minutes.
Molasses Butter
Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon Molasses
Instructions:
Cream together the butter, sugar and molasses; refrigerate until ready to use.

Subject: Broccoli for a crowd
I am looking for a recipe that appeared in a cookbook made up of recipes from home economics
teachers. I lost the book in a move and I don't know the title of the book, but the recipe
was called, Broccoli for a Crowd. It was made with 2 or 3 boxes of frozen chopped broccoli
with other ingredient one of which was grated cheese, perhaps spaghetti cheese. Wish I could
remember more. It was baked in a large casserole and was different than the usual casserole
with the yellow cheese and broccoli.
I do remember there were several cookbooks in a series that contained recipes from home
economics teachers with different titles. I had three of them, one of which contained
this recipe. They all disappeared in the move. Thanks for you time
Virginia
Hi Virginia,
Sorry, I had no success.

Subject: Shrimp Bongo Bongo
Hi,
I'm looking for a Shrimp recipe from The Pub Tiki restaurant
in Phila.,PA. which was open in the 60's and 70's.
The recipe was called Shrimp Bongo Bongo and was delish.
It had bacon and green and red peppers. I'm not sure what
else. Any help in locating this recipe would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Nancy
Hi Nancy,
Sorry, I had no success locating a recipe for this.
Phaed
Someone requested this recipe on 4/17, while I don't have the recipe
I did find the menu online from that restaurant and it shows the ingredients.
(Unc: Lightly browned shrimp in sweet & punget sauce with pineapple, green peppers,
tomatoes, and lichee nuts. Topped with shredded papaya.)
Here is the link:
Pub Tiki Menu
The name intrigued me that's how I found this!
Love your site,
Sandy

Subject: canasta buns recipe
Quite a few years ago, I found a recipe for canasta buns on the net.
Unfortunately lost the card I put them on & now cannot find them anywhere.
Have googled to no avail. I know there were 2 options, one with corned beef,
not sure the other, maybe tuna. It was a mixture on buns.
Sorry, that's all I remember.
thanks
Penny
Hello Penny,
Sorry, no luck. Nothing at all.
