Yes, it??™s Friday and I am glad, too.  Even though I was supposed
to be off and will work an evening watch, I look forward to the
weekend.  It??™s always good to see my kids anxious to sleep in and
not be worried about such things as buses, lockers and class work.
I remember when I was their age (yes, I do!) and how much better
things were on Fridays.  While my kids don??™t get to do as much as
some of their friends on weekends, they do have privileges other
kids do not (including me when I was their age!).  All in all, my goal
of raising my kids to have good morals and high standards while
affording them a happy childhood is working out pretty well.  The
most important thing we can do in this life is prepare and protect
the future generation.  Since this is my second go-round at being a
parent (there is 17 ?? years difference between the ages of my first
and second child, lol), I??™ve learned not just from mistakes made by
MY parents, but my own from the FIRST time.  Well, let??™s hope so.

There has not been any measurable difference in stats on the website,
voting or ad clicks since my discourse of yesterday.  I??™m not really
sure what to do with you guys.  Lord knows, there is no extra time for
me to spend on making this a bigger newsletter.  Truth be known, it is
already a B-I-G one.  The web site is looking pretty good, too.  And, all
my voting and advertising links work properly.  It doesn??™t take a rocket
scientist to determine that either you are going to participate or you
are not.  For MOST, it is a resounding not.  For the FEW...thank you.

I had an interesting ???email??? conversation with another ezine publisher
who reached this ???point of no return??? with their subscribers.  They shut
it all down, un-subbed everyone.  They took a long vacation and came back
with a very small newsletter (I could do ten of them in what it takes to
do ONE of the current a2z newsletters).  They have had much better luck
with the new blood.  And more time with family and personal pursuits.
 
There??™s also the ???business??? element of ???profit on return???, which relates to
only the ???profit??? I have sought, which is a ???sense??? of appreciation, not the
dollars and ???cents??? you??™d shell out somewhere else for what is GIVEN here
to you daily.  This publication has cost a lot more money than it has placed
into my pocket.  Someone who cannot click on a link to cast a F-R-E-E vote
of confidence will NEVER send money my way.  Like, ???duh, Maggie!???

I will be thinking about what to do.  I??™ve received encouraging and thoughtful
suggestions from some REAL participants of this publication on what to do.
This is a decision only I can make.  I am the only one up at all hours of the day
and night, unrewarded, to get this to you.  It is MY decision.  In the meantime,
if you are not a participant in this publication, you should become one.  Take a
minute to vote.  Click on an advertising link.  View the web site.  Send in a
recipe to share.  It??™d be different if I was being unfair or demanding money.
All I demanded was respect.  We see where that has gotten me.

Our Current Monthly Theme: "Gifts from the Kitchen"
The theme for the month of November (to be posted on the first Sunday
in December) is "Gifts from the Kitchen".  A gift from the kitchen is twice
blessed; it gives pleasure to the giver as well as to the receiver.  We're looking
for recipes for gifts that are homemade in your own kitchen, whether they are
edible or not (maybe even soaps or bath/shower additives?).  Some cookie or
brownie in a jar recipes (don't forget the instructions for the cards to be
included inside the jar!) or perhaps homemade candy recipes?  Do you have a
recipe for a biscuit mix (make ahead biscuits where all the recipient does is
add water and bake) or a multi-purpose cake or muffin mix?  Some tried-and-
true recipes would certainly be appropriate as we would want to offer our
friends and family only the finest.  Please read the rules for recipe submissions
and sent to the correct email address.

Monthly Theme: "Gifts from the Kitchen"
A to Z Recipes continues with its popular Theme Issues.  We
will share theme recipes and post them on the first Sunday of
each month.  Send your recipes no later than the last Friday
of each month to have them posted in the next monthly theme
issue.  You may send in as many recipes in each email as your
little heart desires.  If the number of recipes exceeds those
needed in the issue, the publisher will post as many from every
submitter as possible and save the remaining recipes for regular,
daily issues.  The rules for recipe submissions for the monthly
theme issues are the same as ALL recipes submitted for posting.

The rules are as follows:
As a service to your fellow readers, please send only recipes
that are in a form that others could easily copy and save for
their own use.  Recipes that would require a lot of editing or
cleaning up or use non-standard measurements should not be
submitted.  This would include recipes with traces from forwarding,
those in ALL caps (or NO caps), and recipes that do not contain
the standards for recipes (title, ingredient list, and instructions).
Recipes without a name/location of sender will NOT be posted.  
There will be NO recipes posted that are from other recipe-zines.
A to Z Recipes protects the privacy of its readers and does NOT
publish email addresses.  There will be no exceptions.  Send recipes
you'd like to share to: a2zrecipes@fastmail.fm
(Use the theme name as subject.)

The deadline for next month's theme issue is Friday, November 28th.

Theme recipes must have subject: "Gifts from the Kitchen"
and will be posted on Sunday, December 7th.

~*~ READER REQUESTS ~*~



"Just read Loretta's request for a pepper-free salsa.  Mine is the opposite.  
I'm allergic to tomatoes, but love peppers.  I've been looking for tomato-free
salsas.  I've seen fruit ones with pineapple but am not fond of pineapple, and
really would prefer veg based to the sweeter fruit based salsa.  I know this is
a toughie.  But if any of your readers have any tomato-free salsa ideas (that
also refrain from tropical fruits) I'd be delighted.  

Thanks.
Dorine"

Larry, Ontario, Canada...

A businessman was in a great deal of trouble. His business was failing, he
had put everything he had into the business, he owed everybody-- it was so
bad he was even contemplating suicide. As a last resort he went to a priest
and poured out his story of tears and woe.

When he had finished, the priest said, "Here's what I want you to do: Put
a beach chair and your Bible in your car and drive down to the beach. Take
the beach chair and the Bible to the water's edge, sit down in the beach
chair, and put the Bible in your lap. Open the Bible; the wind will rifle
the pages, but finally the open Bible will come to rest on a page. Look
down at the page and read the first thing you see. That will be your
answer, that will tell you what to do."

A year later the businessman went back to the priest and brought his wife
and children with him. The man was in a new custom-tailored suit, his wife
in a mink coat, the children shining.

The businessman pulled an envelope stuffed with money out of his pocket,
gave it to the priest as a donation in thanks for his advice.

The priest recognized the benefactor, and was curious. "You did as I
suggested?" he asked.

"Absolutely," replied the businessman.

"You went to the beach?"

"Absolutely."

"You sat in a beach chair with the Bible in your lap?"

"Absolutely."

"You let the pages rifle until they stopped?"

"Absolutely."

"And what were the first words you saw?"

"Chapter 11."

The Army of the Lord
 
Jack was in front of me coming out of church one day, and the preacher
 was standing at the door as he always is to shake hands.
 
The preacher grabbed Jack by the hand and pulled him aside. The pastor
 said to him, "You need to join the Army of the Lord!"

Jack replied, "I'm already in the Army of the Lord, Pastor."
 
Pastor questioned, "How come I almost never see you except at Christmas
and Easter?"
 
Jack whispered back, "I'm in the secret service."

~*~ TODAY'S MENU ~*~



A great cool-weather meal is on tap today.  If veal is not
a favorite at your house, you may substitute beef or pork
easily in the main course.  The dessert, shared with us by
Treva (NC) is also a great item for breakfast.  Enjoy!

 (See menus at: http://www.a2zrecipes.net/Menus.html)


OUR MENU:


WIENER SCHNITZEL WITH SAUTEED ARUGULA
PUMPKIN SCONES


WIENER SCHNITZEL WITH SAUTEED ARUGULA
http://www.a2zrecipes.net/MainDish048.html

4 veal cutlets (about 1 1/4 pounds) cut 1/4 inch thick
Salt and ground black pepper to taste
1/3 cup flour
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/2 cups fresh bread crumbs
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon minced shallots
3 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
3/4 pound arugula
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Cracked black pepper to taste
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup butter, clarified
1 tomato, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Lemon wedges

Pound each cutlet between 2 sheets plastic wrap or wax paper, using
a meat tenderizer or mallet, until very thin (about 1/8 inch thick).
Season with salt and pepper. Dredge meat in flour to coat, dip in egg,
then dip in bread crumbs to coat. Cover and set aside.

Heat olive oil in a large saucepan or a large deep skillet over medium
heat until hot. Add shallots and garlic and saut?©, stirring, until fragrant
and tender, about 1 minute.

Add half the arugula with any water clinging to leaves after rinsing.
Turn with tongs until it begins to wilt, then add remaining arugula.
Continue to cook, stirring, until leaves are wilted but still bright green,
about 1 to 2 minutes. Squeeze lemon juice over arugula, then season with
salt and cracked pepper to taste. Keep arugula warm while preparing the
veal.

Fry breaded cutlets in a large skillet in hot vegetable oil and clarified
butter to brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. (Less fat can be used if desired.)
Turn and continue to cook until second side is browned, about 3 to 4 minutes.
Remove from skillet to paper towels to drain.

Serve veal on a bed of saut?©ed arugula sprinkled with chopped tomato and
parsley and garnished with lemon wedges.

PUMPKIN SCONES
http://www.a2zrecipes.net/Desserts086.html

~Sent in by: Treva, NC

Source: Stonyfield Farm
 
Scones have traditional been served with afternoon tea, although most
recently they have found their way onto the breakfast table as well. In
this recipe, we have replaced the heavy cream with lowfat yogurt. Scones
are best when served warm.  

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups white flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ginger
2 teaspoons. baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 cup plain yogurt
1/2 cup pumpkin, canned
2 eggs

Glaze:
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons confectioner's sugar
1 tablespoon maple syrup

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 425?°F. Combine the flours, baking powder and soda,
salt, spices and sugar in a bowl, stirring with a fork to mix well. Add the
yogurt, eggs, and pumpkin and continue to stir with a fork. The dough will
become very sticky and will hold together in a rough mass. To make the
scones, scoop the batter using an ice cream scoop, and place each "scoop"
onto a non-stick baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
For the glaze, melt the butter and combine with sugar and maple syrup, spread
the butter over the top and the sides of the scones just as removing from the
oven.

Yields: 12 scones

These are not the sweet, gooey, sticky ribs you get at cheap Chinese

Barbecue Sauce:
2 tablespoons light soy sauce
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons tomato paste

2 tablespoons red bean paste

Preheat oven to 275 degrees.  Sprinkle ribs evenly with salt and pepper in
an ovenproof dish and bake for 1 1/2 hours. Combine the sauce ingredients
in a blender and mix for 15 or 20 seconds or until pureed.  Add the sauce
to the ribs coating them evenly and then turn the oven up to 350 and bake

4 to 6 apples, pared and diced
1 1/2 C. water
1 C. sugar

Make syrup by cooking water and sugar together for about 3 minutes.
Mix Bisquick?® and milk and roll out to about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
Put apples on dough. Sprinkle with cinnamon and nutmeg and dot with
butter. Roll up like a jellyroll and cut slices about 1 1/2 to 2 inches
thick. Put these slices into an 8-inch square baking pan in which syrup
has been placed. Bake at 400??F for 20 to 25 minutes until apples are
done.

Serve warm with topping. This is good cold, also.
