Bubba! Nice to see you again...

We have moved to the other side of the world from London to Sydney, but still it's so nice to come in here and see friends all the time...

Welcome back and so sorry to hear about Beauregard...

 
Welcome here Bubba! Seems like the old days. We've all wondered .

where you were and are SO glad you found your way here! I know when the archives went "inaccessible" there were lots of your recipes we lost track of. I know you will probably get many requests for some of the recipes you post over at Gail's.

 
Luisa! When did the archives go? I have been trying to retreive

stuff, and I've emailed them, but no reply and no archives. smileys/frown.gif

 
Bubba, I tried a few searches in the archives at the old Gail's and the

only way I could retrieve some of your past posts was to search simply for Bubba in the "Search Terms" only.

Unfortunately, you'll have to search through the posts to retrieve what you want. I've posted the general search link below so you can try and refine your search for recipes.

See Image link for my Code Buster method if you wish to eliminate EPI's botched reformatting.

Edited to say let me know if you want me to dig them up. I mistakenly thought that you were seeking your posts at the old Gail's.

Hope this helps. By the way, welcome to our wonderful family!

Simmer all of this for about 20 more minutes, uncovered, until the meat is falling off the bones. Correct the seasoning.

Sprinkle chicken pieces with brown sugar and pour white wine around them. Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour, basting frequently with pan juices. Chicken is done when thigh pieces, pricked with a fork at their thickest, yield clear yellow juice. With a slotted spoon transfer chicken, prunes, olives and capers to a serving platter. Moisten with a few spoonfuls of pan juices and sprinkle generously with parsley or cilantro. Pass remaining pan juices in a sauceboat. To serve Chicken Marbella cold, cool to room temperature in cooking juices before transferring to a serving platter. If chicken has been covered and refrigerated, allow it to return to room temperature before serving. Spoon some of the reserved juice over the chicken. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - * Exported from MasterCook * MOROCCAN CORNISH GAME HENS Recipe By : Gails Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Poultry Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method1 large orange -- thinly sliced 2 Cornish game hens -- cut lengthwise in half 6 Tbs chopped fresh cilantro 8 garlic cloves -- finely chopped 1 1/2 tsp ground cumin 1/2 C tawny Port 1/4 C olive oil 1/4 C balsamic vinegar or red wine vinegar 2 Tbs honey 20 whole pitted dates 10 large pitted green olives Arrange orange slices in bottom of 9x13 glass baking dish.

Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for about 45 minutes, or until chicken is cooked. Drain chicken, reserving broth. In the meantime, mix the 4 carrots, 4 celery ribs and 3 onions in a food processor and chop thoroughly. Shred the chicken to large pieces. Add the peas, oregano, salt and pepper to taste. Preheat oven to 350f. Melt butter in a large saucepan which can go to the oven and add the minced vegetables. Saute until soft. Add rice and continue the saute until rice is golden. Add tomatoes, tomato paste and red pepper flakes. Simmer 2-3 minutes or until well blended. Add chicken mixture and mix gently. Add 5 1/2 cups of the broth to the pot and olives if using. Bring to a boil, cover and put into the oven for about 1 hour, or until all liquid is absorbed. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Sandra's NOTES : For the chicken pieces I usually use only breasts, but that's b/c we like white meat, you can use legs, thighs, a whole chicken...whatever. For the rice, I have used Uncle Ben's, short grained rice, sushi rice, they all work well, but the best texture for re-heating I found is Arborio or any other risotto rice....Also, the olives are very optional, and even those who dislike veggies, will not even detect them in here! It will come out very red and very tasty...I usually serve a big salad with this, but if you don't like veggies...skip it, it's fine by itself...Serve a flan for dessert and you're done!
