INGREDIENTS 1 stick butter, room temperature 1-1/2 cups soft, dark brown sugar 2 cups self-rising flour 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1 pinch salt 2 rounded tablespoons Hershey'sŪ Cocoa Grated rind of 1 orange 4 eggs 1/2 cup Guiness Stout ICING 1 stick butter, softened 1/2 to 2 cups confectioners' sugar Large orange, juice and grated rind Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease two 8 to 9-inch cake pans. Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Sift the flour, baking powder, salt and cocoa into a bowl. Add the orange rind to the creamed butter and beat in the eggs, one at a time, including a spoonful of the measured flour mixture with each one, and beating well between additions. Gently mix in the Guiness, a tablespoon at a time, including another spoonful of flour with each addition. (If there is any flour left over, fold it gently to mix; and blend thoroughly without over-beating). Divide the mixture between the tins, smooth down, and put the cakes into the center of the preheated oven. Reduce the heat to moderate (350 degrees) and bake 35 to 40 minutes, or until the ckes are springy to the touch, and shrinking slightly in the pans. Turn out and cool on a wire rack. Meanwhile, make the icing. Cream the softened butter and icing sugar together thoroughly, then blend in the grated orange rind and enough juice to make an icing that is soft enough to spread. When the cakes are cold, use half the icing to sandwich them together, and spread the rest on top.

Ray's Spaghetti Sauce

1 1/2lb ground beef
1 large onion - chopped
1 large green pepper - chopped
1 bulb minced garlic
1 4 oz can mushrooms (drained) (I use 8 oz but I like mushrooms)
1 28oz can diced tomatoes
1 28 oz can tomato sauce
1 15oz can tomato sauce
1 12oz can tomato paste
basil, oregano, salt, pepper.

Brown ground beef and drain. Add onions, peppers, garlic and mushrooms and fry together. Add 1 tBs basil, 1 tBs oregano, 1 tSp salt, 1/2 tSp pepper. Mix well and fry some more (til veggies are tender). Add tomato sauce, paste and tomatos. Mix well and add 1 1/2 tBs basil, 1 1/2 tBs oregano, 1 tSp salt and 1 tSp pepper. Mix and bring to a low boil. Simmer 2 hours with the lid on, stirring every 20-30 minutes. Then put lid ajar and continue to simmer 1 hour or more until thick.

The leftovers taste even better the second day!

After talking to Cath, some veggie alternatives
- add more mushrooms and leave out the 15oz tommato sauce or double tomato paste for a marinara type sauce
or
- replace ground beef with chopped up and browned soy or tofu burgers
(haven't tried these, just a thought)

Camping potatoes:

Get out your mom's old porcelain coated dutch oven..like the ones they charge 200 bucks for now preferably in orange.

Throw in a bag of little white or the assorted organic potatoes. Spritz in olive oil over everything and some butter and salt and pepper.

Put a bunch of rosemary in there. If you have garlic that is even better.

Cook forever...four hours on the fire fringe is good.

Enjoy with beer and whatever the meat people brought.

Does the color of the dutch oven affect flavor? lol

I think I just found a new best thread!
Great recipes in here. I think I just gained 5 lbs clicking

I tried this the other day after some lame garlic potatoes when we spent 125 bucks going out to eat.

First roast a couple of cloves of garlic and four shallots at 350 for about 40 minutes. Just pour on olive oil and wrap in foil. You can squish out the cloves and shallots just by cutting one end and then squeezing the goo out soon as they are cool enough to touch.

Soon as that is started boil some potatoes with water barely covering. I mixed a couple of russets with some white potatoes. Leave the skins on and add salt and pepper to the water. Don't go crazy boiling or you will waterlog them. Simmer until they are fork tender then pour into a colander but don't rinse.

Dump the potatoes and roasted stuff into your Kitchen Aid or whatever mixer. Add about four ounces of heavy cream or half and half while you mix really slow. More salt and pepper can be added as well. This is on slow speed as I like mine a hair chunky.

After that is done add whatever is still alive from your herb garden. I added some basil and chives. Also, three pieces of leftover bacon went well.

Finally..throw a half stick of butter in there and beat until they are ready.

So umm...ingredients are here instead of up top but I had to remember what I did.

Four russets or 10 little white potatoes or any combination to make a pot full
Salt and pepper (Sea salt and fresh ground pepper if you have it)
Chives or other fresh herbs
A few strips of leftover bacon
Half a stick of butter
Half a little container of half and half or heavy cream (add slowly to get your consistency)
1-2 cloves of roasted garlic
Shallots (or you can throw in half of a vidalia onion chopped up probably)
