I am curious about the National Cooking picnic. I seem to recall that
you mentioned going to one in 2007. Who organizes these picnics?
Where are they normally located?

We used to try to have a picnic each year. Covid put the brakes on
that, as did the death of two of our more prolific posters who had
hosted several each. The picnics were hosted by anyone who volunteered
to do so. Given the number of echo members, they are usually at the
house of the host these days, or sometimes at a nearby park.

Never understood that myself. I will, if there is a substantial fat cap
trim it. And if it's beef use it as tallow/suet after putting it through
the grinder. Fat carries flavour. I generally don't ditch the fat when
I'm cooking unless there is an "excess" or I think iot will get in the
way of the texture. Even then I tend to recycle/reuse it.

Title: Dirty Dave's Chilli Popcorn
Categories: Five, Snacks
Yield: 1 Batch

1/4 c Chilli oil/grease *
1 c Unpopped popcorn
Salt

* The orange oil you spoon off of your chilli that is
excess to the needs of a good bowl of red. Save it in
the icebox until needed. When it has cooled/set up it's
"grease". Bv)=

Melt the chilli oil in the popping vessel. **

When the grease is hot enough (350ºF/175ºC or more) add
the unpopped kernels of popcorn. Shake pan occasionally
to prevent sticking and burning.

When popping has stopped pour into a bowl or paper bag,
add salt to taste and enjoy!

** NOTE: air poppers will not work for this. A 'Stir-
Crazy' popper works well - and you don't have to shake
the pan.

Have plenty of napkins handy. That orange chilli-flavored
popcorn will stain your shirt or pants if you wipe your
fingers on them.

If you made HOT chilli - you will have very spicy popcorn.
If you made a milder batch of chilli you will have nicely
chilli-flavoured popcorn with a moderate bite.

That is the only one in Canada that I recall. Flo was a nice host, and
the picnic was of moderate size. I don't recall when Flo died, but I
still get Facebook telling me to wish her happy birthday.

Gail figured out a better way to do potato cakes, and it would probably
also apply to this recipe. Instead of making patties that fall apart
when you try to flip them, she made small meatball sized patties and
cooked them in a miniature muffin pan. Comes out like large potato tots.

Title: Left Over Rice Cakes
Categories: Easy, Tested
Yield: 2 Servings

1 c Left over cooked white rice
1 l Egg, beaten
1/2 c Shredded cheese (cheddar)
3 tb Small diced onion
1 ts Garlic, pressed (or more)
1/4 ts Red pepper flakes (or more)
1 tb Dried parsley
2 tb Vegetable oil (or more)

Beat egg in medium bowl. Combine all ingredients except for the oil
and place in fridge for at least 30 minutes.

I used electric fry pan. Preheat pan to 325 and add oil. When oil is
heated place medium scoop of mixture in fry pan and press down gently
to make patty. This amount of rice will make 8 scoops.

Fry patties about 10 minutes on first side, carefully flip over and
fry other side for another 5 - 8 minutes. Careful when you flip as
patties fall apart easily.

Tested 10/2007. Will make again. Might add bacos?

Hello Carol,

Odd. I recall some in Canada? Forgot about the OZ ones but yes. 2010, yes.

Unlike the false claims made by Sean, Dave, and Ben this is an
international echo and as such everyone is welcome. The same was
also true about picnics, as all were invited no matter where one
was from.

of the past.

It's something we'll have to consider, probably not this year but maybe
think about for next year. We've got some travel plans set for late May
and a good bit of July, with plans for other events locally thruout the
summer.

Title: Grilled Taco Chicken
Categories: Easy, George grill, Chicken, Tested
Yield: 2 Servings

1 tb Taco seasoning (from mix)

Tested 9/28/07. Tastes good - will make again.

That does look good. Have you made it again or does this remind you
that you intend to make it again? (G) I usually don't buy taco
seasoning, have made my own with a mix of dried peppers (powders or flakes), cumin, a bit of powdered orange peel, pinch of salt and
whatever else strikes my fancy from my spice cabinet.

I don't recall whether we ever did make it again or not. If we did,
Gail did not update the recipe in our book.

I've done several things over the years that I've since lost (misplaced)
the recipe for, have looked but not (yet) found. But, I've got enough
cook books and recipies on line to choose from, I can always find
something new to try.

Speaking of blends, here is one that we once tried. Again, I don't
recall if we did it again -- just that it is not now a staple in our cabinet.

Title: Pepper Blend
Categories: Testing
Yield: 1 Bottle

Interesting. We usually don't use pepper blends except for a peppercorn
mix in the one grinder. It's a commercial mix of black, white, red and
green peppercorns. Other peppers (ancho, chipotle, cayenne, etc) we keep
in separate powdered form, combining as we use them.

... It works! Now, if only I could remember what I did.
