Happiest of birthday wishes go out to Pat in Auburn, Washington. Our pal Pat has been with A to Z Recipes for a long time and is a frequent flier with recipes and other goodies shared for your enjoyment. Pat, maybe you'll find some keepers in today's issue. I'm hoping everyone will drop by the A to Z Discussion Forum QT to send Pat a personal wish.

Just a reminder, we're still looking to create a great theme issue so get those Fabulous Fakes in to me. You can read all about it in the Monthly Theme section. To date, we have four participants for this theme topic. Oh, besides that (and all the super recipes from your a2z e-family) there's a great item in the Ramblings section. I recall a few years ago when my "bestest buddy" told me I was the one he'd like packing his parachute. I never realized just what he meant. Now, I do. I wish he was alive for me to say "thanks". Have a great day and we'll see you here on Wednesday for another TLC-packed issue from Linda.

Help in Packing Your Parachute

Shared by Bryan, TX

Charles Plumb was a US Navy jet pilot in Vietnam. After 75 combat missions, his plane was destroyed by a surface-to-air missile. Plumb ejected and parachuted into enemy hands. He was captured and spent 6 years in a communist Vietnamese prison. He survived the ordeal and now lectures on lessons learned from that experience!

One day, when Plumb and his wife were sitting in a restaurant, a man at another table came up and said, "You're Plumb! You flew jet fighters in Vietnam from the aircraft carrier Kitty Hawk. You were shot down!"

"How in the world did you know that?" asked Plumb.

"I packed your parachute," the man replied. Plumb gasped in surprise and gratitude. The man pumped his hand and said, "I guess it worked!"

Plumb assured him, "It sure did. If your chute hadn't worked, I wouldn't be here today."

Plumb couldn't sleep that night, thinking about that man. Plumb says, "I kept wondering what he had looked like in a Navy uniform: a white hat; a bib in the back; and bell-bottom trousers. I wonder how many times I might have seen him and not even said 'Good morning, how are you?' or anything because, you see, I was a fighter pilot and he was just a sailor."

Plumb thought of the many hours the sailor had spent at a long wooden table in the bowels of the ship, carefully weaving the shrouds and folding the silks of each chute, holding in his hands each time the fate of someone he didn't know.

Now, Plumb asks his audience, "Who's packing your parachute?"

Everyone has someone who provides what they need to make it through the day. He also points out that he needed many kinds of parachutes when his plane was shot down over enemy territory - he needed his physical parachute, his mental parachute, his emotional parachute, and his spiritual parachute.

He called on all these supports before reaching safety.

Sometimes in the daily challenges that life gives us, we miss what is really important. We may fail to say hello, please, or thank you, congratulate someone on something wonderful that has happened to them, give a compliment, or just do something nice for no reason.

As you go through this week, this month, this year, recognize people who pack your parachutes.

I am sending you this as my way of thanking you for your part in packing my parachute. And I hope you will send it on to those who have helped pack yours!

Sometimes, we wonder why friends keep forwarding jokes to us without writing a word. Maybe this could explain it: When you are very busy, but still want to keep in touch, guess what you do -- you forward jokes. And to let you know that you are still remembered, you are still important, you are still loved, you are still cared for, guess what you get? A forwarded joke.

So my friend, next time when you get a joke, don't think that you've been sent just another forwarded joke, but that you've been thought of today and your friend on the other end of your computer wanted to send you a smile, just helping you pack your parachute.

Food Safety: Cooking with Chicken

Shared by Jean, Syracuse, NY

We love chicken. But chicken is a potentially hazardous food if handled improperly. Chicken and the juices found inside the package are potential mediums for the growth of salmonella and other bacteria. Additionally, chicken and chicken dishes can become hazardous if not handled properly. The purpose of this article is to provide guidelines for safely using chicken??”before and after it is cooked. These same guidelines are applicable to other foods as well. 

Assume that bacteria already exist in the chicken package that you brought home from the store. There are enough bacteria and mold spores in the air to contaminate any open food, especially chicken coming from a packing plant. Is it dangerous? It shouldn??™t be. If the meat is handled properly, the bacteria should not have multiplied appreciably and contamination should be within acceptable levels. But if conditions are not right, the bacteria in your package will multiply until the meat becomes unsafe. 

The primary condition required for bacteria to thrive is a temperature between 40 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Any time any portion of the meat falls in this range, bacteria can grow. So, to be safe, keep the temperature of your uncooked chicken below 40 degrees and, once cooked but not refrigerated, above 140 degrees. (Some high sugar content foods, like properly formulated pies, will not support bacteria growth even at room temperatures.) 

Cross contamination??”the contamination of other foods with the chicken??”is always a threat. Be sure and wash all utensils and all surfaces that might have come in contact with the chicken or the juices with hot, soapy water. After washing, we strongly recommend spraying the stovetop, countertops, and the sinks with a chlorine-based cleanser that will kill bacteria on contact. 

You??™ve cooked your chicken. It??™s setting on the table. How long can it be left out of the refrigerator? That depends. The longer that the food is left out, the more bacteria the dish will contain. The warmer the environment up to 140 degrees, the faster the bacteria will multiply. 

So what is the answer? Keep the food hot??”above 140 degrees??”until serving time and refrigerate the food soon after the meal. Don't leave hot foods on the counter or stove to cool. Modern refrigerators have enough cooling power to cool hot foods without raising the ambient temperature too much. Transfer hot foods into shallow glass or plastic containers??”no more than three inches deep??”and place them in the refrigerator with enough room around each container so that air can circulate. Proper refrigeration will not only keep foods safer but protect the quality and nutritional value as well.

Fabulous Fakes

Here's the scoop on the current theme:

How can something fake be good? When its a fabulous recipe! It takes a lot of time and money to reproduce a recipe found in restaurants, prepared by master chefs. While I usually opt to save time and money at home and simply dine out when I am craving a master chef creation, giving it a 'go' at home can be fun... and tasty! Please share your favorite and fabulous fakes with us this month. We're going for recipes that recreate those dishes served by chefs in restaurants. Whether it is fried chicken from that fella in Kentucky, pasta served in an Olive Garden Italian restaurant, or a made-at-home batch of a mix offered by a name brand (biscuit mix, stuffing, sauce, etc.), send in your fabulous fakes for sharing in our next theme issue. Please understand that we do not wish to infringe on copyrighted material; if your source states it is copyrighted then do not send it.

Birthday Quotes

I never forget my wife's birthday. It's usually the day after she reminds me about it.

When I have a birthday I take the day off. But when my wife has a birthday, she takes a year or two off.

Birthdays, humph.... My folks were so poor we couldn't give my sister a sweet 16 party until she was 28.

On my 60th birthday my wife gave me a superb birthday present. She let me win an argument.

A well adjusted woman is one who not only knows what she wants for her birthday, but even knows what she's going to exchange it for.

We know when we're getting old when the only thing we want for our birthday is not to be reminded of it.

It's so sad to grow old alone. My wife hasn't had a birthday in 4 years. She was born in the year of our Lord-only-knows.

By the time the last candle was lit on her birthday cake in February, the first one had gone out. If she ever told her real age her birthday cake would be a fire hazard. When it was fully lit it looked like a prairie fire.

UNCLE BILL'S RUSSIAN BLINTSI

Makes 24

~Submitted by Bill Anatooskin, Burnaby, BS, Canada

This recipe has been in our family for over 100 years and is enjoyed by all visitors and family that have stayed in our home.

3 cups whole milk, homogenized
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. salt
3 large eggs
2 Tbsp. granulated sugar
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 Tbsp. whole milk, homogenized
3 Tbsp. melted butter
3 tsp. baking powder
2 Tbsp. vegetable oil for rub on fry pan
1/2 cup melted butter for rub on blintsi

To a large mixing bowl, add milk then mix in flour half a cup at a time using an electric mixer or a whisk and beat until smooth. Add salt and mix well. Add 1 egg at a time, beating well after each addition. Add sugar and beat again to incorporate. Add 3 tablespoons of butter and beat again.

In a cup, mix together baking soda with 1 tablespoon of milk and add to batter, beat lightly. Add baking powder and mix lightly until well blended.

Let batter sit for about 5 minutes before using. Batter consistency should be like thick whipping cream so that it spreads easy.

Preheat a 10 inch heavy bottom, shallow fry pan to medium-high heat.

Rub fry pan with vegetable oil before cooking each blintsi.

Pour 1/2 cup of batter into the middle of the fry pan and quickly rotate and shake fry pan to cover the entire bottom with the batter. Cook until edges just start to brown and curl slightly, about 1 minute. Using a spatula, turn blintsi over and cook for an additional 15 seconds. Remove blintsi from fry pan, fold in half and wipe blintsi with melted butter.

Place blintsi in a preheated 250 F oven to keep warm while making more.

Serve with syrups or jams of your choice. A dollop of yogurt or sour cream is very tasty. If desired, unfold the blintsi and place about 2 tablespoons of sliced strawberries or blueberries on the blintsi, refold and then roll into a roll. Serve these with whipping cream or whipped cream or a dollop of yogurt or sour cream.
You can also sprinkle blintsi with lemon juice and a sprinkling of sugar.

NOTE: You may need to adjust the heat to suit the type of fry pan that you are using.

MARGARITA CHIFFON CAKE

~Submitted by Ann, FL

Californian Harry Baker invented the chiffon cake in 1927, but he kept the recipe a tightly guarded secret for another 20 years. He finally relented and sold his formula to General Mills. The mystery ingredient? Vegetable oil, which gave the cake richness and a light, moist texture. We spike this one with all the flavors of a Margarita cocktail; the Strawberry Compote with Tequila and Lime is an elegant touch.

Cake
2 1/4 cups cake flour
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
6 large egg yolks
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup fresh lime juice
1/3 cup triple sec
2 tablespoons tequila
2 teaspoons grated lime peel
8 large egg whites
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar

Glaze
2 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons tequila
4 teaspoons triple sec
1 1/2 teaspoons grated lime peel 

Strawberry Compote with Tequila and Lime (See below)

For cake: Preheat oven to 325?°F. Whisk flour, 3/4 cup sugar, baking powder and salt in large bowl to blend. Using electric mixer, beat yolks and next 5 ingredients in medium bowl to blend. Add to dry ingredients; beat just until smooth. 

Using clean dry beaters, beat egg whites and cream of tartar in another large bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually add 1/2 cup sugar, beating until stiff but not dry. Fold 1/3 of whites into batter, then fold in remaining whites. Transfer batter to ungreased 10-inch-diameter angel food cake pan; smooth top. 

Bake cake until tester inserted near center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Immediately invert center tube of pan onto narrow-necked bottle; cool cake completely in pan.

Run long knife around center tube and sides of pan to loosen cake. Using center tube as aid, lift cake out of pan; run knife between cake and pan bottom to loosen. Invert cake onto platter. 

For glaze: Stir first 5 ingredients in medium bowl until smooth. Spread over top of cake, allowing glaze to drip down sides. Let stand until glaze sets, about 2 hours. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover with cake dome; let stand at room temperature.) Serve cake with compote. 

Makes 10 TO 12 servings.

STRAWBERRY COMPOTE WITH TEQUILA AND LIME

6 tablespoons triple sec
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup fresh lime juice
3 1/2 tablespoons tequila
2 tablespoons lime peel
5 cups quartered hulled strawberries 

Whisk first 5 ingredients in medium bowl to blend. Add strawberries; toss. Let stand at room temperature 1 hour or chill up to 4 hours. 

Makes about 4 cups.
