Wow! Wonderful recipes here.

[sammi]

momoffuzzyfaces - thanks for the "Mexican Wedding cookie" recipe. I hope to make it b/4 holidays.

Can't remember who posted the "Potatoe Chip Fudge" but I made it and its very easy and good! I think I would even add more p. chips next time. (taste like ? rice krispies).

I think the Asparagus Casserole sounds good. So many good things to try. Wish I had a cook to make it all for me!!!!!!!
Guess I 'll go have a piece of pumkin pie and whip cream.
Well it was a frozen one I baked but its not bad!!!

Now that New Year is coming up, have any of you got a delicious fish recipe? - No, NOT clams, please!

[kohala]

Is a fish dish a New Year's tradition of some sort in Denmark? I know my oldest cousin used to make Norweigan recipes, one was called lutkefisk (sp?) - maybe someone has a recipe. I have always wanted to try to make couliabac (sp again?) which is a salmon dish formed into a fish shape and baked in a crust (or variations thereon). Dadcat had it in Las Vegas when he lived there, a friend who was a chef made it at his home one year - he said it was delicious.

We used to do the traditional black-eyed peas (for luck), collard greens (for wealth), and candied yams (for taste
) along with the main meat dish - roast pork or baked chicken for New Year's. The way I had heard it told was that if the first thing you taste New Year's Day was the black-eyed peas, you'd have luck for the year. So we would do up a midnight New Years feast - would be fun for a party.

A Pilipino friend cooked what I think was one of the most delicious fish dishes I've ever had on the barbeque at work one time, so here's how he did it:

One whole fish (he used yellowtail tuna, so a fish of that sort would be best) about 3 pounds, cleaned inside, skin, fins and all left on
Open and fill with:
one thinly sliced tomato
one to two finely chopped green onions (scallions)
About 1/2 cup Asian black beans (these are canned, and are flavored with soy souce, I believe)
one to two cloves of garlic, thinly slicked

He layered this filling in the fish, closed it and wrapped it in foil, and baked it on the barbeque until done. I am sure it could be done in an oven on medium high heat, as you would for any fish.

It was delicious!!

My mom made this today! Except she has a different recipe, no cornflakes, and cream of musroom instead of chicken. It tastes awesome!!! It's my favorite... She uses the simply potatoes thingys in the refrigerated isle.

I made your recipe for a Christmas party and I just couldn't believe the raves I received over a potato casserole!

I sauteed the onions until they were really brown which added a good onion flavor and I also sauteed the corn flakes in the butter for the final step.

Thanks for the recipe - but of course, I took all of the credit
