OT Just for fun- oddball sandwiches
Bonnie, that is one of my absolute favorites for sandwiches! I never had it
with ham in it. Here in Missouri if you ask for ham salad it is *always* made with bologna. Strange..... but yummy! Leslie, Missy & The Furbabies in MO. "Bonnie Patterson" wrote in message ... My Mum used to make "ham salad": 2 pounds of "jumbo" bologna, ground in a hand cranked grinder 1 medium jar of "India" sweet relish Miracle whip salad dressing to make it spreadable I know there is no ham in this version, we couldn't afford ham, but it was good and we loved it, of course us kids got to crank the handle of the grinder. We didn't know that there was ham salad with real ham in it, or that there was real mayonnaise.

When I was a teenager I visited a friend in Canada & she had a passion for ribbon sandwiches, which I became a huge fan of as well. I think they were meant to be "tea sandwiches" but we'd have them for dinner sometimes. You take 3 slices of very thinly sliced bread. Slice one gets spread with peanut butter, slice two gets spread with a cheese spread - like Cheese Whiz if you are in the states & slice three gets spread with a pickled ham spread. Put the three slices together & slice them into "fingers". Yum! Here in the states, I never found pickled ham, so I just made my own up - tiny cubed ham, mixed with mayo & pickle relish. Hmmmm -I may have to resurrect those yummy sandwiches! Pauline We would call it ham salad. It is rare to find it already made, but it is sold in some areas, usually in the cold cut and salad section of the stores. Your home made version would be a lot better tasting though. The next closest thing would be canned deviled ham, but it's a whole different thing. Debra in VA See my quilts at http://community.webshots.com/user/debplayshere |

Kneading bread, was OT Mayo vs Miracle Whip (was OT Just for fun- oddball sandwiches)
My dad, a former cook in the Navy, taught me this. Watch the lump of dough
you're kneading. Add flour as needed to keep it from being sticky. Fold the ends over the middle, press them in. Here's where the watching part comes in. As you knead, watch how the dough changes texture and sheen. Dough is done with the kneading when it takes on a kind of satiny look, almost but not quite a shine. Works every time. Hope this helps! -- Debi (hungry for fresh bread now) Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future. "Debra" wrote in message ...

Knowing when to stop kneading is an art. I haven't been able to learn it although I tried. I can only make an edible loaf that way if I get to make one with someone who has the artistry to do it right. I've kneaded side by side with other people and produced fine loaves by matching them move for move, but I can't feel the change in the dough. If left to my own devices, I'll knead it too long every time. Debra in VA See my quilts at http://community.webshots.com/user/debplayshere |

OT Just for fun- oddball sandwiches
white bread (not wonderbread, more like buns), with butter and sugar. I
had that all the time as a kid, I think it is a Spanish thing. The other thing is the same white bread rubbed with garlic and sprinkled with olive oil...

Sometimes it is better to just give up on learning something. 20-30 tries seems to be my personal limit. DH can make bread and I can't. No biggie.
