It is a versatile sauce that hails from Guam. I was at the neighbors recently for a casual cocktail party and tried their recipe for Spicy Finadene Sauce. Just a simple, little recipe brought from Guam by our neighbors and friends D & L. Big on taste and a wonderful enhancement of your food.<br />
<br />
When I looked up this sauce I found several versions. But the basics are the same, the main ingredients are soy sauce & vinegar. I have posted two versions. My neighbors & mine. I used the ingredients I had on hand for my recipe. I compared their version to a few others, they are all very similar, just a few additions here or there. Both of ours was delicious. It will get spicier /stronger the longer it sits, melding flavors! You can also add a little water to tone it down after a few days if desired. * Just like most recipes, ingredients vary due to ingredients and amounts. One recipe even called for cucumbers, that sounded delicious as well. This dipping sauce is often used for fiesta's and is a staple in most homes in Guam from what I read. And, I can see why! It is awesome ......<br />

So when dinner time came...I went to the pantry...I had forgotten to thaw anything doe dinner! I spied Crab in the can...don't whence...yes there are some great canned crab brands out there. I often keep this & salmon on hand for quick dinners. Living in land & in the foothills, fresh crab is not always available ! (I wish I had had fresh crab!) So next best thing! These crab cakes were maked in a muffin tin and were so tasty. We served them with cocktail sauce & dijon mustard. My fave is to use both! YUM...kicked it over the top!<br />

<br />
Ingredients:<br />
<br />
1 3/4 cups of flour<br />
2 teaspoons baking powder<br />
1/4 teaspoon salt, not leveled<br />
1 cup softened butter, (2 sticks)<br />
1 cup of sugar<br />
2 eggs<br />
1/4 teaspoon almond extract<br />
2 tablespoons whipping cream (or milk)<br />
1/2 cup of sliced almonds<br />
<br />
Icing Ingredients:<br />
<br />
1 cup of powdered sugar<br />
1/8 teaspoon almond extract<br />
3-4 tsp of whipping cream or milk<br />
<br />
Directions:<br />
<br />
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder & salt. Sift & set aside.<br />
In larger mixing bowl, beat together yhr ugar and soft butter. Then, beat in the almond extract.<br />
Next beat in the flour mixture. The mixture will be crumbly, but will get better the more you work it. Mix until dough blends together.<br />
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a 12 inch long roll. Place two rolls, 4-5 inches on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper.<br />
Flatten each roll, with a rolling pin or your hand, until they are about 3 inches wide.<br />
Brush the flattened cookie log with milk, sprinkle with almonds and lightly press into the dough.<br />
Bake at 325 degrees for 12-15 minutes ( I baked mine at 13 minutes).<br />
While the baked cookie slab is still warm, but not hot & on the baking sheet, diagonally cut into 1 inch strips with a pizza cutter. Carefully transfer the cut cookies to a wire cooling rack and drizzle with the icing.<br />
Store in an airtight container, with parchement or wax paper between each layer. The cookies are better the next day, but how can you resist taste testing? ? ?<br />
<br />
Notes: This recipe doubles well.<br />
<br />
This is a Christmas treat for us but, any holiday is worth celebrating with these cookies...<br />

Simple hint: To hold down the parchment paper while you work; Spray a little cooking spray on the baking pan before placing the parchment paper on top. Works perfect to hold your paper down & in place!</div>

Italian Walnut Cake<br />
PineCreekStyle<br />
<br />
1 box of white cake mix<br />
3 whole eggs, not just the whites<br />
Olive oil in place of vegetible or canola oil as called for on the box directions.<br />
Half water and half heavy whipping cream for the liquid (water) called for on the box<br />
1 level tablespoon of powdered white vanilla<br />
1/4 cup of chopped walnuts, divided for the cake mix<br />
1/4 cup for the garnish on top of the cooked cake<br />
*Powder sugar for icing, I use the butter cream recipe on the box and made half.<br />
<br />
Directions:<br />
Mix the ingredients using the directions on the box, when blended, fold in the 1/4 cup walnuts. Bake in two round pans according to the box directions, mine was at 350 degrees. Length of time will be stated on the box according to your pans.<br />
After baked, let cool 20 minutes before turning out<br />
<br />
Frosting:<br />
Follow the directions on the box of powder sugar for the butter cream recipe. I made 1/2 the recipe. I also softented the butter, to a creamy texture, so that I could use the frosting as a glaze. (Same amount of ingredients but the softened creamy butter changes the consistency) Frost the middle layer and the top with equal amounts and let the frosting/glaze slide down the sides of the cake. Garnish the top with chopped walnuts.<br />
<br />
So yummy & rich....but I still wanted more....<br />

Fig Jam Ham<br />
The CattleQueen Cooks<br />
<br />
Ingredients:<br />
1 fully smoked/cooked Ham, bone-in<br />
1/2 jar of Fig Jam<br />
1/4 cup of Brown sugar<br />
Garlic Pepper, (PineCreek Ranch Seasoning here), to taste<br />
1/4 cup of dark rum, optional<br />
<br />
Directions:<br />
<br />
In a large, prepared crock pot place the ham after, you score the top.<br />
1/4 cup of dark rum, optional, pour on top of the scored ham.<br />
Spread the jam, generously on the top .<br />
Sprinkle the brown sugar on the top of the jam.<br />
Then sprinkle the garlic pepper on top of the brown sugar.<br />
Cook according to directions or do as I did and slow roast on medium for about 3 hours.<br />
<br />
Notes:<br />
<br />
~My lid did not fit on the crockpot due to the height of the ham...I covered the top of the ham and crock pot with heavy foil and left it covered while cooking. This worked out extremely well...This ham was amazingly moist!<br />

It's 5am and I'm off and running....the TV is waiting for the Thanksgiving parade to start, fire is on, coffee in hand and I am ready to start cooking....Maybe the "others" will sleep long enough for me to get a few dishes prepared....AND then there's breakfast to fix.... At least I know I'm not alone this Thanksgiving morn! Have a Happy Turkey Day! Blessings to all....<br />

At Halloween I didn't get enough made for all the kids in the family...the ghost pretzels disappeared quick! So I needed to make MORE...for the great nieces and nephews...Who ....didn't forget Aunt NeeCee promised MORE!<br />
Gotta love those babies! So this is what I came up with for Thanksgiving! And everyone was happy in Ranch-land! :)))<br />
<br />

<br />
While in Oahu, at the timeshare, I offered to cook dinner for some friends who live there....Just a simple dinner, mostly to relax and visit. <br />

I grew up eating and making Loco Moco. My Dad, who was stationed on Honolulu, fell in love with Hawaii and the food. He made Loco Moco enough that it was a regular meal at our house. I would tease my Dad that this was Hawaiian okie food....Much like our Hamburger Gravy over Mashed Potatoes or SOS... (Sh%t on a Shingle). He always agreed. I love it so much that I made this fairly often myself through my adult life. So... back to the night of the foodie faux pas dinner....<br />

I had made a version of Loco Moco on my last visit to Oahu...One of our friends LOVED it! I offered to make it AGAIN this trip. Ornery and I went grocery shopping and started cooking. I never gave any thought to the meal not turning out! Everything was going great...our guests were arriving soon.<br />

WHEN... the smoke detector went off! The timer I had set on the stove was so faint, I never heard it go off!!! My first batch of Pineapple pastries were RUINED!!! (Second batch was good, will post later.)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
I cleared the kitchen/living room of smoke. Got the fire alarm off, dumped the overcooked pastries, started the brown gravy & hollandaise sauce (yes...I was fixing my gourmet recipe). Ornery took the trash out!<br />
<br />
WONDERFUL, I thought...but no time to waste...I had gravy on the stove, (the rice and meat were already cooked and waiting ). I slipped the SECOND batch of pastries in the oven. The gravy and sauce turned out perfect and I turn OFF the burners, to let them set. OFF, (is the key word)....OR SO I THOUGHT!<br />

One of our guests arrived, cocktail served, I sat for a... MOMENT! THEN...I went to stir the gravy and sauce...AND, as I get up from the chair...I see the sauce FOAMING! What the HECK! The burners to the stove were turned off! OFF!!! NOPE! The knobs were OFF but the heat had still been on! OMG!!!! I had BURNT gravy and SCOLDED sauce! NOTHING I could do! In the sink the pans WENT!<br />

I called my Hawaiian sister..."Help! My gravy is burnt!!!!" "No worries Sis, she calmly said...I will get some at the restaurant downstairs." YIKES! I decide to cook a traditional Hawaiian dish for my Hawaiian friends who are family and THIS HAPPENS!<br />

I OFFERED TO TAKE EVERYONE TO DINNER DOWNSTAIRS! We didn't! We salvaged the dinner and life went on! We had a great visit, and on this night, through my embarrassment, I truly experience the real value of friends who are family! AND, that is PRICELESS!<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: x-small;"><b> But, I never want to do the multi foodie faux pas again!</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: x-small;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>Lessons learned: Never offer to cook for friends when NOT in your own kitchen! And, Life is PERFECT when you choose friends who become FAMILY!</b></span><br />
