2 tsp. salt
Red pepper to taste
1 or 2 cans of chicken broth (or broth of prepared boiled chicken)
1 ½ -2 cups of uncooked rice (cook 30 minutes before curry is finished cooking)

Instructions:
Brown onion in oil.  Remove from hot oil with slotted spoon and reserve in a small bowl for later.  Pour remaining oil from skillet into a cup to use for browning flour and curry powder for a gravy like sauce.  Stir fry meat in same skillet.  Remove fully cooked meat from pan and reserve in bowl.  Clean skillet or fry pan and pour oil back into it to make rue for curry sauce.  Add more oil if needed to make the amount of sauce you want.  Add flour, salt and curry powder and brown to a golden brown or a little more brown.  Add milk as quickly as possible while stirring to avoid lumps.  Have chicken broth ready to thin to a medium thick consistency as it comes to a boil.  Add onions and cooked meat.  Cook and stir until desired thickness is reached.  Lower heat, add stir fried meat and cook for 45 minutes or 1 hour, stirring occasionally to keep from sticking. 
Condiments:  (Serve in a lazy susan or small individual bowls with small spoons to sprinkle small amounts on top of cooked rice after curry and chicken has been spooned over rice.)

PEKING ROAST
Geri Gaither

Ingredients:
To Marinate:
Garlic (optional) and onion slivers
1 cup vinegar
Water
To Cook:
Oil for browning
2 cups strong black coffee
2 cups water
Salt and pepper

Instructions:
With a sharp knife, cut slits into the roast, and insert slivers of onion and garlic.  Put meat into a bowl, and slowly pour vinegar over it.  Add enough water to cover the meat.  Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 23-48 hours, basting the meat occasionally with the vinegar & water.
When the meat has marinated long enough and you’re ready to cook it, pour the vinegar off.  Place the meat in a heavy pot (a Dutch oven is best), and brown in oil until dark on all sides.  Pour the coffee over the meat, and add the 2 cups of water.

Cover and cook slowly for approximately 6 hours on stove top.  You might need to add more water at some point, so check it occasionally.  Add only a small amount of water at a time.  Do not add salt & pepper until about 20 minutes before serving.

NOTE:  This roast uses any cut of beef, even the cheapest, and the result is fork-tender meat with delicious gravy.  It’s very good!


PORK ROAST
Geri Gaither

Ingredients:
1 Pork loin or roast
1 jar sauerkraut
1 can coke

Instructions:

SKILLET CABBAGE STIR FRY
Pauline King

Ingredients:
2 Tbs. oil
2/3 cup chopped onion
2-3 cups finely sliced cabbage
½ cup coarsely shredded carrots
1/8 tsp. paprika
½ tsp. salt
Pepper
2 Tbs. soy sauce

Instructions:
1.  Heat oil in large skillet.
2.  Add onions, cabbage and carrots.  Stir about 5 minutes on medium heat until vegetables are crispy tender.
3.  Add rest of ingredients, blend and serve immediately.

Variations:
Indonesian:  When vegetables are crisp tender, pour over 2 slightly beaten eggs.  Cook a few minutes stirring just enough to allow eggs to cook.  Serve with rice.
Vietnamese: Top with generous sprinkling of roasted peanuts.  Serve with rice and soy sauce.  Slivers of meat may be added at beginning with onion.
My Variation:  I sometimes add water chestnuts and sometimes I add broccoli and cauliflower.  I like to add ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese just before serving and top with Chinese noodles.
