Fall is barely here, Ranee, and apple bread pudding is delicious.
Give it a try!

By now we are talking about two different sauces. Succulent sauce
was cold, and not lemony.

Sure, I love Hollandaise sauce, and it pairs well with fish, but
that is not what I am looking for. I forget what it is called,
but there is a variant that has a bit of tomato paste added to it,
and that would, indeed, be pinkish.

You could use bouillabaisse or chicken stock, add lemon juice and/or
zest, then thicken the sauce with cornstarch. A pinch of sugar will
keep the lemony sauce from being too sour.

I checked my Sunset-published Italian cookbook, along with a BH & G
60s casserole book - no luck for the chicken and rice dish. But it
wasn't wasted - I did find a canneloni recipe that uses crepes instead
of pasta for the wraps. And the sauces were there. I created my own
recipe for "San Remo Canneloni" after a trip to Italy, but am excited
to try a different one.

It might be good, but my brain rebels at "light" and "hollandaise" on
the same page!

I think if you lose the cornstarch and use butter to finish the sauce as
is common you'd have a better tasting lemon sauce. I think the
cornstarch would distract. Just my opinion of course.. and we all know
how humble *that* is. Just ask Andy! LOL <snort!>

Oh, gee, I remember making cannelloni like that! And yes, it was
in the 60s, I'm sure.

That's sad. I have never heard of such a thing, but maybe someone

Yup. That's why I ask about the chicken. Last time I did that, I
got lots of hits, but not the right thing.

Vienna Dream Bars????? Brown sugar, butter and either coconut or
graham cracker crumbs or pecans (something chewy/crunchy but not too
easily identified - just richer than Croesus) for bottom and top
crusts. The lemon filling was fairly tart and made a surprising
contrast with the sweet rich crust. THat's just what I remember. My
bad - I didn't google it.

Yup, that's the one that comes up almost everywhere searching for lemon bar or pan
cookie on google.

The one mom used to make was a batter poured into a 9 X 13 pan, I'm not sure but I
think the lemon component was mixed in a large measuring cup and poured into the
middle of the pan full of batter and when it was baked the lemon sort of migrated to
the middle.

These cookies sounds so good (drooling), but they are not on my diet. I
almost did a search on Vienna Dream Bars then I changed my mind. I just
can't look at it! Not interested. <hands over ears> Lalalalala!
Maybe later, though. ;-)

Your husband is a survivor at the very least. I worry about Jean B's
husband's type though. They are the ones who die quickly if their
wife goes first.

My husband is and always was an active, involved father. There was one
time, though, when he gave me a horrible fright. He'd gotten our baby
daughter, our firstborn, dressed in one of the pink ruffly outfits that
our families had deluged us with. She was the first female born to
either side in a decade and the aunties and grandmas were starved for a
girl child. It was pink gingham quilted overalls, only he'd put them on
her wrong ways around.

So I walk in, look down into the crib and there's my daughter, and at
first glance it looked like her head was twisted 180 degrees. Of course
then I realized that she was fine, other than the fact that she was
sleeping on her belly, and that it was just her clothes that were on
backwards, but geeze, what a turn that gave me.

Kathleen, your stories are so entertaining; you should write a newspaper
column. :-)

I have to say that pales in comparison to me coming home to two chalk
outlined bodies (awkward positions) of children on the sidewalk and
nobody home. I was absolutely hysterical for several hours until they
came home (called the police and hospitals trying to find out what
happened) and didn't forgive them for months.

I love cooking with wine.
Sometimes I even put it in the food.

I'm sorry that this experience happened to SF, but I wouldn't have
assumed that it was a practical joke. Drawing outlines of one's body is
a natural thing that many kids do.

To be honest, I'll never get over how I felt.

I finally realized that they were just recreating a real scene we'd
come across in a quaint little tourist town near San Simion, but it
wasn't funny to me. I made them wash the chalk off the sidewalk.

It wasn't a practical joke, but it sent me into a blind panic. They'd
seen a real crime scene chalk outline in the town we'd visited the
weekend before and patterned their bodies as if there had been a
crime. If I was thinking rationally, I would have noticed there was
no blood and the neighbors didn't come streaming out to tell me what
happened. I created my own little Hell all by myself.

They were good enough to fool me.
