Instructions
  1. Divide butter into 2 portions, place 1 of these in a bowl or the upper part of a double boiler. Add the egg yolks and lemon juice, place over hot water (not boiling) and stir constantly until the butter is melted. Add the remaining butter and continue stirring, preferably with a wire whisk, until this butter also is melted. Add the hot water and cook, still stirring constantly, until thick. Remove from heat and season with salt and white pepper.
Recipe Notes

And I messed this one up too:  I melted the butter, whisking, with the egg yolk and lemon juice, but then I added the hot water and whisked until thick.  Or at least reduced...  Then I added the butter, and followed the rest of the instructions.  Still turned out great!  Though the lemon juice really stood out - maybe wouldn't be quite so strong if I'd done it the right way...

Cindy’s Pork Wellington

 Cindy's Pork Wellington
This was adapted from a variety of recipes - see links for original recipes below - and is definitely a work in progress, but a good start! I think it was a bit rich, and needed more herbs, etc. I didn't have a onion - amazingly enough - and I wasn't able to find my dried, minced onion, and I think that was really needed for the pate.

Instructions
  1. Remove frozen puff pastry to thaw - it takes about 40 minutes, at least the one I used.
  2. Remove pork from fridge, pat dry, and season with salt and pepper. Preheat oven to 400F.
  3. In a medium-high skillet, heat olive oil. Brown pork on each side, then remove from skillet and let rest and cool.
  4. Mix braunschweiger, cream cheese, onion powder, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, salt & pepper. Let cool in fridge.
  5. With one sheet of puff pastry, thaw per package directions and roll out on a sheet of parchment paper so that it is large enough to completely cover the pork roast. Lay the bacon slices on the rolled dough, so that the bacon also completely covers the roast.
  6. Spread the Braunschweiger mixture over the bacon. (I had originally cut slices in the roast and added some pate, bur I think that's too much, too rich). There will probably be extra - it's pretty good with crackers.
  7. Place the roast on top of the mixture, then use the parchment paper to help roll everything up. Tuck in the sides of the dough, and trim any excess. You can use the excess to cut fun little shapes to place on top as decoration. (I didn't have any left.) Cut slits lightly in the top of the dough but not going though the bacon.
  8. Use parchment paper to move the Wellington to a baking sheet, then put in oven and bake for 20 minutes. Recude heat to 350 and bake another 15 minutes, or until internal temperature is 135F for medium rare, 150F for medium. Let sit for 20 minutes before serving. Remember: meat will continue cooking for several minutes while it is resting, and resting is important!
  9. Slice and serve!

Instructions
  1. Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. When water boils, add greens and cook until wilted and tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  2. Place bacon in a large frying pan and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until browned and fat is rendered, about 3 minutes. Add onion and cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Add greens and turn to coat well. Add broth - it should cover greens and let cook until broth is reduced and greens are very tender, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and serve.

Instructions
  1. Bring 2 cups chicken broth, the milk, 3 tablespoons butter, and a pinch of salt to a gentle boil in a medium sized pot. Add the grits and whisk together. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until grits are fully cooked, soft, and creamy, whisking again every 5 minutes or so.
  2. Meanwhile, cook the bacon strips until crispy in a nonstick or cast iron skillet. Set aside on a paper towel lined plate. Once cool, chop into small pieces.
  3. Drain all but 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease from the skillet.
  4. Rinse the shrimp with cold water and pat dry. Season with salt and pepper. Cook in the bacon grease until only just cooked- about 2 minutes per side.
  5. Add the remaining tablespoon butter and 1/2 cup chicken broth to the shrimp and stir until melted and broth is heated.
  6. When grits are finished cooking, remove from heat and stir in the cheese until melted.
  7. Serve the shrimp mixture over the grits, making sure to spoon some of the liquid from the skillet over the grits, and sprinkle with the bacon pieces and sliced green onions. Serve immediately.

Instructions
  1. Begin with the Sweet Roll Dough, and add the first 4 ingredients after the original mix when additional flour is added.
  2. After the first rise and punch down, divide dough into 4 parts. Shape 3 of the parts into 14" strands. Place on lightly greased baking sheet (or baking sheet with parchment paper?). Braid loosely, fastening strands at one end, then tucking under. Make an indentation on the top for the second, smaller braid.
  3. Divide fourth part into 3 pieces and shape into 3 strands each 12" long. Braid these 3 strands and place this small braid on top of large braid.
  4. Cover and let rise until double, 45 to 60 minutes. Brush with egg yolk glaze, if desired.
  5. Heat over to 350F. Bake 30 to 40 minutes, or until golden brown.
  6. While baking, whisk powdered sugar with a little milk - use only enough to wet sugar enough to make the icing. Cut the cherries.
  7. Ice while warm, then place cherries and sprinkle almonds on top. Enjoy!

Instructions
  1. Mix everything together until well blended. Divide into four equal parts, and make patties. Fry in skillet for a couple of minutes one each side on medium heat (?) or until slightly "crisped". Timing depends on thickness - I made mine about 3/8" thick. Serve hot, with tartar sauce if desired.
Recipe Notes

Total weight ~12.6 oz, should be 3.15 oz each patty.  As usual, seasoning measurements are definitely approximate! So please feel free to adjust to suit yourself.
