You're both in error.

AMBROSIA is a term from the Greek, meaning "Food of the Gods", and can
be applied to anything that is delicious to eat. Sorry if I sound
stuffy, but some of you might like to know that.

Baked oatmeal base with sliced, fried apples and cinnamon on it.
Drizzled with vanilla icing when it comes out of the oven. Cheddar
for those who want it.

I agree. Quiche is awful. It's an abomination. It's salt and sweet,
meat and custard, main and desert, hot and cold, all in one!

I hate it!

I've thought of Egg Beaters, but never wanted to spend the money on them in

possibly do that.

As I understand it, Egg Beaters are colored egg whites.

It would probably be cheaper to make them and toss them than to order a
restaurant meal, even if you wind up tossing what you've made. JAT.

³Eggbeaters²

Recipe By: Barb Schaller post to r.f.cooking 8-23-06
Serving Size: 1
Preparation Time: 0:00
Categories: Miscellaneous

Amount Measure Ingredient Preparation Method
1 egg white
1 tsp. corn oil or safflower oil
1 tsp. nonfat dry milk powder

Combine ingredients in a bowl and whisk together until thoroughly
blended. The ingredients may be blended in a blender but too much
mixing makes the egg substitute frothy. Recipe may be multiplied by any
amount desired. One recipe makes the equivalent of 1 egg (1/4 cup).

Commercial egg substitute: 96 calories, 1 mg. cholesterol, 7 mg. fat,
120 mg. sodium.

Jeanne¹s substitute: 60 calories, negligible cholesterol, 5 mg. fat, 60
mg. sodium.

Source: Low-Calorie Cooking column by Jeanne Jones, Star Tribune
newspaper,Wednesday, 10/21/87.
‹‹‹‹‹
Additional Note, 2/10/89: Price for one package of Egg Beaters at Cub
Foods is $1.67 for the equivalent of 8 eggs. Whole eggs are
approximately $.75 per dozen. A substantial saving to make from scratch.

They're real egg whites with fake egg yolks added. Unless they've
changed over the years. So it depends on what part of the egg you're
allergic to.

Okay, let's just say that iced Earl Grays is orgasmically delicious and

Indeed... for me, it's mainly the bread/wheat.

Question is, is it just chicken eggs?
My sister is allergic to chicken eggs. When she lived close by and I had
ducks, I'd save duck eggs for her. She loved them and was fine with
them.

A real treat for her was turkey eggs when I had a couple of turkey hens!
Their texture is closer to chicken eggs than duck, and the flavor is
very rich. She could also eat guinea eggs.

The eggs of any bird can be eaten, many have slightly different
textures. Best quiche I _ever_ made was made from fresh Ostrich egg.
I made it for a potluck. ;-) An Ostrich egg holds about a quart or so
and the yolk to white ratio is higher. They whip up much lighter and
fluffier than chicken eggs tho' due to a denser consistency to the white.

I believe you. My wife does the same. She is allergic to use and was celiac as a
child. She just slurps the toppings off the pizza and then hands me the crust.
She fails to understand my lack of enthusiasm for a fish lipped pizza crust with
no toppings.

I don't really have a recipe, but this is how our family has made it for many years.

Prepare 1 large or 2 smaller coconuts by drining and reserving the liquid. Remove shell
and skin from coconut meat and grate by hand on a box grater. (A food processor will not
produce the right texture.) Cover coconut and liquid in separate containers and set
aside.

Meanwhile, peel, section, and cut into smallish pieces 4-5 navel oranges being carefully
to remove all pith.

Combine grated coconut and orange pieces and gently toss together with 1/2 to 1 cup (or
to taste) of granulated sugar. Combine coconut liquid with an equal amount of freshly
squeezed orange juice. Begin drizzling over coconut mixture until very moist. If you
have excess liquid mixture, cover and chill in refrigerator as you may need to add it
later. If you've used all the liquid mixture and the coconut isn't moist enough, add
plain orange juice.

Thoroughly mix to distribute the moisture (it should be almost wet), then cover securely
and refrigerate at least several hours or over night before serving. Additional liquid
may be added at intervals or before serving. It shouldn't be soupy, but it should be
thoroughly moist/wet.

Please note: This is a classic Southern ambrosia. It *never* contains other fruit,
marshmallows, pudding, Cool-Whip, or anything else. It is simply coconut, oranges,
sugar, and juices.

I have sometimes seen it garnished for serving with toasted pecans halves. (It doesn't
really even need this.)

Enjoy...

'K with me. I am not the type to start a spat with anybody. ) We
can even drink a toast to Earl Grey, but I will have some wine
instead, if it's all right with you.

Sounds wonderfully fantastic. Seriously!

Makes me wonder how coconut would be added to mom's orange/cranberry
relish she always made for Thanksgiving.

I can now get fresh green (unripe) coconuts from My Thanh in Austin.

Hmmmmmmm.........

Thank you, may I have a glass of the Merlot, please?

Here is an appetizer to go with our drinks:

Grilled thin sliced chicken breasts (You can bread them and fry or
bake them, if you are not weight conscious), cut into two inch slices
the short side.

Barely steamed asparagus, marinated in vinaigrette.

Provolone cheese slices

Trim the asparagus to be slightly longer or the same size as the
chicken pieces. Put one or two asparagus spears on each piece of
chicken lengthwise.

Hold the asparagus spears in place by securing them with one inch wide
strips of Provolone

Before serving, heat under the broiler until cheese starts to bubble
and brown. When cool enough to eat, serve with your favorite drink.

If you want to serve this as finger food, serve each on a piece of
thinly sliced buttered toasted bread, cut to about the same size as
the chicken pieces.

It is even better made with veal, but that is much too expensive now.
