Notes from Mom:

Water for yeast: If it's too hot, it will kill the yeast. If it's not hot enough, the yeast won't grow. Has to be hot to the hand.  Yeast feeds on sugar, so mom always puts a spoonful of sugar in.  Stir it into the dry yeast. Don't microwave, will be too hot.

Start over with the yeast if you don't get a good bubbly proof.

Add extra sugar and butter - maybe 1/2 C. each.

Soften the butter.  If it's hot it will kill the yeast.

Adding flour: add 3 cups and see how it does.  Gradually add until the dough starts to pull away from the sides.  Switch mixing attachment for hook.  Knead for a handful of minutes.

Chevy’s Fresh Salsa

that Catherine and Craig found, of course!)
Whip out the food processor and fire up the grill because you'll need
these essential tools to clone one of the best restaurant salsas in the
business. The key to recreating the flavor of the real deal is to fire roast
the tomatoes and the jalapenos, and to add a little mesquite-flavored liquid smoke. The restaurant chain uses a mesquite grill, so these steps are crucial to getting the same smoky flavor as the addictive restaurant version. Chevy’s uses chipotle peppers, or smoked red jalapeno peppers. But unless you grow your own jalapenos, it may be difficult to find the riper red variety in your local supermarket. For this recipe, the green jalapeno peppers will work fine.

6 medium tomatoes
10 jalapenos (red is best)
1/4 of a medium Spanish onion
2 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons white vinegar
2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons mesquite-flavored liquid smoke

1. Preheat your barbecue grill to high temperature.
2. Remove any stems from the tomatoes, then rub some oil over each tomato. You can leave the stems on the jalapenos.
3. Place the tomatoes on the grill when it's hot. After about 10 minutes, place all of the jalapenos onto the grill. In about 10 minutes you can turn the tomatoes and the peppers. When almost the entire surface of the peppers has charred black you can remove them from the grill. The tomatoes will turn
partially black, but when the skin begins to come off they are done. Put the peppers and tomatoes on a plate and let them cool.
4. When the tomatoes and peppers have cooled, remove most of the skin from the tomatoes and place them into a food processor. Pinch the stem end from each of the peppers and place them into the food processor as well. Toss out the liquid that remains on the plate.
5. Add the remaining ingredients to the food processor and puree on high speed for 5-10 seconds or until the mixture has a smooth consistency.
6. Place the salsa into a covered container and chill for several hours or overnight while the flavors develop.

Erik & Kathy Black’s “MOST AWESOME FRESH SALSA RECIPE EVER!!!”

Ma J,
You asked for the coveted, ancient, secret "SALSA" recipe - passed through my family for generations of hardworking salsa farmers. It is the only recipe known to win instant taste bud delight from distinguished salsa-taste testers. Moreover, it is fresher than the salsa that they serve at Chevy's, so maybe they should slap Chevy's face...
Enough of my silliness, here is the Salsa - happy chip dipping!

1 - large (32 oz) can of crushed tomatoes
1 - 8 oz can of diced tomatoes
1 can of green chilies
1 ripe tomato, diced
1/2 RED onion, diced (red gives it great flavor)
1/2 fresh green bell pepper, diced
3 hot yellow peppers, diced (you could add more if you want it extra spicy)
dash of Tabasco sauce
1 T - chili powder
1 tsp - cumin
dash of garlic salt
1 tsp salt, optional
1/3 bunch of fresh cilantro, diced
1 ripe avocado, diced

Directions:
Find a suitable (large) mixing bowl and pour cans of crush tomato, diced tomato and green chilies into bowl. Dice Red Onion, Green Pepper, Tomato and hot yellow pepper and mix in the bowel. Add chili powder, cumin, garlic salt and salt with dash of Tabasco and mix well. Add optional cilantro and Avocado. Taste test with a chip. Serve chilled.
Note: this is chunky salsa, so you may want to put it through a food processor

Dad’s Famous “Earl of Ashdown/ Duke of Derby” Sandwiches

As dictated by the Earl himself....

Large round loaf of good, high quality bread-- any type… Sourdough, pumpernickel or sour rye-
4 inch by 8 inch slices,
One layer of mayonnaise,
Followed by one layer of Dijon mustard,
Followed by pepper,
Followed by dill pickle in very thin slices,
Followed by pastrami and or corned beef, ham, turkey, roast beef….. pick the meats you like,
Followed by Tillamook sharp or medium cheddar cheese,
Followed by another layer of meat,
Followed by Provolone Cheese,
Followed by another layer of meat,
Followed by iceberg lettuce or thin sliced cucumbers- according to taste,
Thinly sliced tomatoes are also an option,
Cap sandwich with a final slice of bread which has been spread with mayonnaise.

Substitute different types of bread, use two or three slices of bread, but on each layer of bread you must have a layer of mayonnaise and some form of mustard. You can replace the Dijon with regular mustard.
Pile the sandwich fillings (meats and cheeses) as high and thick as
your mouth will surround (or not)

Alternative Hogey Style would require long loafs up to 5 feet in length of sour dough bread in 3 slices, similar fixin’s.
