Until now. (G)

Steve has always been the one more interested in wi-fi availability when
travelling. I generally just leave my computer in the bag until we get
to our destination. Last summer it was handy to have after Steve went
back to NC while I stayed in AZ another 10 days or so. One night Deborah
wanted to use up the spinach she had on hand so I e-mailed Steve a quick
note asking him to look up our favorite recipe for the hot bacon
dressing we use to wilt it. He sent it to me in time to make for supper
that night. It's on the menu for some time later this week for us.

BOILED BACON DRESSING

4 slices of bacon
1/2 c sugar
1/2 tsp salt (optional, IMO)
1 tbsp cornstarch (or 2 of flour)
1 beaten egg
1/4 c vinegar
1 c water

Fry bacon slowly. In a saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch and salt, mix
well. Add well beaten egg and vinegar, again mixing well. Add water,
bacon and fat, mixing well. Cook to desired thickness.

From Edna Eby Heller's "Dutch Cookbook" c 1960 (no publisher given)

We usually pour this over a bowl of fresh spinach or lettuce--about half
a pound--and mix until greens are well wilted. It is good served over
mashed potatoes (our favorite way to eat it) but could be served in a
bowl along side the main plate. I did try it with rice--not as good as
potatoes.

Catch you later,
