For Jean: a
courgette is a zucchini
or small squash. Have a great day,
Barb in Ohio
For Jean Cecil VA in ref to her question
from the May 10 Newsletter.
Courgette
is zucchini. I had
never heard it called courgette either
but when I did a search for it, I found
out what it was. Interesting that
someone would use that word rather than
the common name. Sara in FL
Comment The recipe was sent in by
someone in England. In England it is a
courgette and in the US it is a
zucchini. Nancy Rogers

Hi Nancy, Irene in La. mentioned she
was having
problems copying recipes into Word.
That happened to me too so what I've
done is set up a notepad file on my
desktop.
Anywhere on the
desktop, right click with the mouse.
That will bring up a list of options. Go
down and click on "new", then click
on Folder. Name the folder (mine's
called Recipes from Nancy's Site).
Open the folder and either set up
categories or simply each individual
recipe (either way - right click,
click on new, and then Text Document).
Simply paste the recipe to the
document and save it.
They are
handy and I never have to pull up Word
and look for them. Hope this helps.
Sherry, from Indy

Peanut Butter Cup Brownies
Makes 40 brownies as adapted
1 box of your favorite brownie mix
1/2 cup peanut butter chips 1/2
cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray
or grease 40 mini-muffin cups.
Prepare boxed brownie mix as
directed. Spoon batter evenly into
muffin cups (about 1 heaping
teaspoon). Bake for 13-15 minutes or
until top is set and a toothpick
inserted into center comes out
slightly wet. After brownies are out
of the oven, wait for centers to
fall. This will happen upon
cooling. If not then tap the centers
with the back of a teaspoon to make
a hole for the peanut butter.
Place peanut butter in a small
microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on
high for 45 seconds then stir.
While brownies are still warm spoon
about half a teaspoon of peanut
butter into the center of each
brownie. Top with semi-sweet
chocolate chips and peanut butter
chips. Cool completely in pan.

Beer Battered Fish and
Seafood For Betty in
Warsaw who wanted a batter to fry
fish in.
Beer battered
Tilapia or 2 lbs. fish, shrimp,
oysters, clams 8 Tbs.
self-rising flour 2 Tbs. olive
oil About a half a bottle of
good beer 1/2 tsp. salt Oil
for frying Kosher salt
Mix the flour, oil, salt and beer
together in a bowl. Add the beer
last and do it slowly, stirring all
the time. You want enough beer
in the batter to make it the
consistency of house paint, or
pancake batter.
Put the
batter in the fridge for 20 minutes.
After 10 minutes, take out the fish
and salt it liberally. Let it sit on
the counter for 5 minutes or so,
then slice it into pieces about the
size of a large shrimp.
Heat the oil to 350 degrees. I use
canola oil, but any vegetable oil
will do. When the oil is hot, dredge
the fish into the batter and let it
get coated thickly. Gently place it
in the oil and repeat. Do not crowd
the pot or deep-fryer. Do this in
several batches. Fry until the fish
is golden brown, moving it around
the oil so it does not stick
anywhere. This take about 5-8
minutes.
Let the fish drain
on a wire rack or paper towels.

without alcohol.
Fried Fish
3 pounds fish fillets 2 cups
all-purpose flour 3 cups pancake
mix 3 cups club soda 1 Tbs.
onion powder 1 Tbs. seasoned salt

Dip moistened fish
pieces evenly but lightly in the
flour. Dust off any excess flour and
allow pieces to air dry on waxed
paper, about 5 minutes. Whip the
pancake mix with the club soda to
the consistency of buttermilk. It
should be pourable, but not too thin
and not too thick. Beat in the
onion powder and seasoned salt. Dip
floured fillets into batter and drop
into 425F oil in heavy saucepan
using meat thermometer. Brown about
4 minutes per side. Arrange on
cookie sheet in 325F oven until all
