Vicki from Sarasota, FL is having a birthday tomorrow!

OH, no! It's one of those "OH" birthdays. For me, I don't remember two-OH. Three-OH was fun. Four-OH was forgettable, and five-OH was made special by my girls (who seemed more upset by the historical turn of events than me). Vicki is such a nice person and however she spends her day, I hope it is OH-so-lovely. When you know someone for a few years, even through the internet, you get a feel for what they like and dislike. I hope I have hit the mark with the recipes and goodies in this issue dedicated to Vicki. Join me in wishing her the happiest of days by dropping by the A to Z Discussion Forum.

I hope to see all of you here on Sunday when I have a very special Mother's Day issue to share with you. Have a great weekend.

"CONFESS"

The day has come for me to talk,
to get it off my chest,
to lay the truth on all of you,
to bare it all, confess.

I've never liked bananas, 
detest the humble pea,
despise that stuff called spinach,
I hate the kale too, see?

Don't like those yucky turnips,
can't stand that pizza pie,
I have to force down cabbage,
can't stand it, would I lie?

I can't stand beef or pork or fowl,
have no use for dessert,
milk was designed for baby calves,
don't mean to be so curt.

I wonder what has happened,
I marvel here at that,
if I don't like so many foods,
why did I get so fat??


"MY MIRROR AND ME"

Mirror, mirror on the wall
You're not playing fair at all
I'm really now upset with you
For giving your distorted view
You show my hair is turning gray
It's just the way the shadows play
I know that you're not hanging straight
To make me look so over weight
The way you show a double chin
Is just the way the light comes in
I think I'm fine, but you're so wise
To put such accent on my thighs.
I wish you'd try to be my friend
And tell me I'm a little thin
Just tell me I look good in jeans
And frilly shirts and pretty things.
Please don't let the wrinkles show
I'd like to have a pretty glow
I see you won't respond at all
So I'll just tear you off the wall.

CRUNCHY PARMESAN TURKEY

Source: Better Homes and Gardens
Prep: 20 min.
Cook: 3 min.

Ingredients 
1/4 cup seasoned fine dry bread crumbs 
1/4 cup toasted wheat germ 
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese 
1 tablespoon sesame seed or 1/4 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning, crushed 
1 egg 
1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt or 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper 
4 turkey breast slices, cut 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick (about 1 pound) 
1 tablespoon olive oil or cooking oil 
2 tablespoons honey (optional) 
1 tablespoon yellow mustard (optional) 

Directions 
1. For the turkey coating, in a plastic bag combine bread crumbs, wheat germ, Parmesan cheese, and sesame seed or Italian seasoning. Close the bag and shake to combine.

2. In a small, shallow bowl, beat egg with a fork to combine. Stir in the seasoned salt or salt and pepper.

3. Measure the thickness of each piece of turkey. Dip one piece of turkey into the egg mixture, covering completely. Next, place the egg-coated piece in the bread crumb mixture in the bag. Hold the bag closed at the top and gently shake the bag to coat the piece thoroughly with crumb mixture. Remove meat from bag. Repeat with remaining turkey, egg mixture, and crumb mixture.

4. In a 10-inch skillet heat oil over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes or just until hot. Using tongs, carefully add each piece of turkey to the skillet. For 1/4-inch-thick pieces of turkey, cook for 2 minutes (for 1/2-inch-thick turkey, cook for 3 minutes).

5. With a spatula,* flip over turkey pieces. Cook 1/4-inch-thick pieces for 1 to 2 minutes more (for 1/2-inch-thick pieces, cook for 3 to 4 minutes more) or until turkey is no longer pink inside.** (To check doneness, use a sharp knife to cut a small slit in the center of a couple pieces and check the color.) With spatula, remove turkey to serving platter. If desired, in a small bowl stir together honey, and mustard; pass with turkey. Makes 4 main-dish servings. 
*Cook's Tip: For recipes calling for a spatula, use the sturdy plastic or metal type that you would use for flipping pancakes or burgers. (This is different from the flexible, rubber spatula used in baking.) 

**Cook's Tip: If the turkey pieces start to brown too quickly and you think they might burn, turn down the heat to medium-low. If pieces start sticking to the pan, carefully add more oil, a teaspoon at a time.

BEEF TENDERLOIN STUFFED WITH ROASTED PEPPERS,
SPINACH, AND GOAT CHEESE WITH PORT WINE SAUCE

Ingredients:

1 (3 to 4-pound) beef tenderloin, center cut

1 (10-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed
8 ounces goat cheese, room temperature
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1 (12-ounce) jar roasted red peppers, drained
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 bunch fresh basil leaves

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 shallots, minced
1/2 cup port wine
1 cup beef stock
1 tablespoon cornstarch dissolved in 1/4 cup beef stock
1/3 cup tomato paste
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary

1/4 cup more beef stock
2 tablespoons butter, cold, cut into pieces

Instructions:

Butterfly the beef tenderloin by cutting the beef lengthwise down the center about two-thirds of the way through the beef. Open the beef. Use a meat mallet to pound the meat to 3/4-inch thickness. 

Place the spinach in a colander and squeeze out as much of the moisture as possible. Mix together the spinach, goat cheese, fresh rosemary, and thyme in a large bowl. 

To stuff and roll the tenderloin, season the flattened beef with salt and freshly ground pepper. Place the red peppers on top of the beef leaving a 1-inch border. Place the fresh basil leaves on top of the red peppers. 

Spread the cheese mixture on one end of the peppers and basil. The cheese will be at the center of the rolled beef. Roll the beef around the cheese end in a tight cylinder. Continue rolling jelly roll fashion. Use butcher string or bamboo skewers to secure beef roll. Refrigerate for at least one hour or until ready to serve. 

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. 

Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large roasting pan over medium high heat. Add the tenderloin roll to the pan and quickly brown on all sides. Place the tenderloin on a rack in a roasting pan. Roast for 30 to 40 minutes. Use a meat thermometer to determine doneness. 

Cook the shallots over medium high heat in the pan used to brown the beef. Cook until just soft. Add the port wine to the pan and cook until the liquid is reduced by half. Add 1 cup beef stock and bring to a boil. Add the dissolved cornstarch and stir until thickened. Add the tomato paste and fresh rosemary. Season with salt and pepper. 

Remove the stuffed beef tenderloin from the pan and allow to rest for at least 10 minutes. 

Remove the rack from the roasting pan. Place the roasting pan over medium high heat. Add 1/4 cup of beef stock to the roasting pan to deglaze. Stir to loosen the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the port wine sauce to the roasting pan. Simmer for 2 minutes. Reduce the heat. Stir in the cold butter until just combined. 

Cut the stuffed beef tenderloin into 1-inch slices. Pour the port wine sauce onto a dinner plate. Place a slice of tenderloin on top of the sauce. Garnish with fresh basil leaves.

PHAD THAI FOR TWO

This classic noodle dish that is found in almost every Thai and Thai-American restaurant in the states and on every street corner in Bangkok is one of the best tasting dishes in the world. Filled with the hot, sour, salty, and sweet tastes that are the building point for so many Thai recipes, it is surprisingly easy to prepare, even for two. I have included directions for firm and soft noodles, which really does change the whole appearance and taste of the Phad Thai. I like it both ways really, so I included both methods. The firm noodle method results in a Phad Thai with very separate and al dente noodles while the soft noodle method makes a Phad Thai that is very soft and uniform. This is one dish that is served as fast as possible right out the wok right after it is finished or the noodles start losing their texture and can become a bit mushy.

1/8 pound rice noodles
1/2 tablespoon Thai fish sauce (nam pla)
1/2 tablespoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons tamarind juice
2 teaspoons palm or light brown sugar
2 tablespoons peanut oil, divided
1/3 cup matchsticked firm tofu
2 minced garlic cloves
1 minced shallot
6 medium chopped cooked shrimp
1 tablespoon dried shrimp
1 tablespoon chopped pickled radish
2 Thai bird chiles or serrano chiles (or to taste)
1 well beaten egg
1/2 cup bean sprouts
1/4 cup shredded carrots
1/4 cup minced scallions
Lime wedges

For firm noodles, soak the noodles in room temperature water for 40 minutes to soften. Drain well and set aside. For soft noodles, cook in boiling water according to the package directions, drain well, and set aside. Mix together the fish sauce, soy sauce, tamarind juice, and palm sugar until the sugar is dissolved. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Set the sauce aside. Heat the wok and 1 1/2 tablespoons peanut oil until very hot. Add the tofu and stir-fry until golden brown. Add the garlic and shallots and saut?© for 30 seconds. Add the cooked shrimp, dried shrimp, pickled radish, and chile peppers and heat through. Add the noodles and toss well to coat with the sauce. Move the mixture to the sides of the wok and clear a space in the center. Add the remaining oil and heat until very hot. Add the egg and scramble until softly set. Break the cooked egg into small slivers and then toss with the noodle mixture in the center of the wok. Add the fish sauce mixture and toss well to coat. Add the bean sprouts, carrots, and scallions and cook for 30 seconds. Spoon onto a serving dish or individual plates and serve with the lime wedges.

Makes 2 servings.
