at the time when christianity was accepted in serbia , many families were baptised and chose their own saint. this is why saint nicholas is celebrated by so many families on the 19th of december. for the orthodox families st. nicholas is a special day with special rituals and prayers, to others it only means a day to be with your family and enjoy lots of food., this st. nicholas bread is traditionally made in orthodox families for the feast of st. nicholas. i heard that in other families a coin is put in the bread and the person who gets the piece with the coin will be rich in the future. i do not believe that this is part of a religious ritual, but i can be wrong., ingredients for the bread, sugar, fresh yeast or 1 package dry yeast (7 g), lukewarm milk, kilo flour (all purpose), salt, sugar, butter, egg yolks, grated lemon peel and some lemon juice, ingredients for the braid, flour, water, little bit salt, how to make the bread, put the (fresh ) yeast in a small bowl together with a tsp sugar and a little bit lukewarm milk. mix and set aside so the yeast can start to work. yeast usually activates between 25 and 28 degrees celsius., take another bowl and beat the egg yolks, add the rest of the milk and stir well., put the flour , sugar, salt, lemon peel and a bit of lemon juice together in a bowl. add the softened butter in small pieces and knead until the mixture has a fine texture., mix the yeast mixture with the milk/egg mixture and add it to the flour. knead everything well until the dough becomes a ball (leaving the bowl clean). put the dough into another bowl, cover it with a damp cloth and put it on a warm place. let the dough rise for 2 hours., after these two hours knead the dough again (shortly) on a floured surface. make a ball again and let the dough rise again for 1 hour., form a round bread and put it on a greased baking tray or use greased baking paper. you can also use a round baking pan, don tsp forget to grease it, make the dough for the braid by mixing 250 g flour, 180 ml water and a pinch of salt together in a bowl. make a soft dough, divide it in three pieces and form 3 rolls. make a braid twice the diameter of the bread. cut the braid in half and form a cross on the bread, use a water/egg mixture to glue it on the bread., bake the st. nicholas bread in a preheated oven on 180 degrees celsius for about 60 minutes.

flake pie crusts can be used for main course dishes or, by adding the optional sugar, for sweet fillings and tart shells. they contain the same ingredients as other pie crusts, but it s the way the shortening is incorporated into the flour that gives these crusts theirs name and characteristics., when you break a medium flake pie crust with your fingers, it separates into flakes rather than breaking clean. a crust that breaks clean is made with short flake pastry. to make a crust short, the ingredients are put together a little differently. short crusts are equally good and used just about as universally.

chicken drumsticks (you can use any chicken, but it is best made with chicken legs), onion, turmeric, water, saffron mixed with water, lemon juice

quesadillas, i have cooked plenty of quesadillas on the grill ., i usually used american and cheddar cheese grated together and i would do a chicken , a beef and a veggie 1 on the grill., i had several large cast iron flat griddles ( brushed with butter) i put on the grill, because i always had to cook a bunch of these and the griddle would hold about 4 if you are only cooking a small amount, using just the grill after oiling would be fine., meat and chicken were spicy and the cheese only was plain and you could put pico de gallo on any of them. we made them like a taco in flour tortillas (tortilla folded over in half). the veggie ones had thin sliced tomatoes, jalapenos or red jalapenos, scallions, cilantro and cheese. brush with butter and grill them or just lay them on the griddle if you have 1. these cook fairly fast., keep it simple keep it good, later, tom

frozen bread dough, mozzarella cheese (or whatever you have in the fridge), pepperoni, pizza sauce, garlic powder, parmesan cheese, butter, this is not 1 of those recipes that requires exact amounts of everything! use the amount of cheese , pepperoni, etc. that you would like. it can be made with sauce or without...if making it without, use sauce for dipping. i have made it with a butter mixture instead of sauce and think it turns out better.

ok...first caveat...if you are making your own crust , it will take longer then stated. but there is nothing wrong with saving a little time, and using a pre-made frozen crust; it saves all kinds of downtime in this busy world, especially at christmas when we are all a bit...busy. if you want to make your own crust, then check out my favorite crust recipe here on this site..., eggs, heavy cream, whole milk, thick bacon , fried crisp and chopped (or chop first and then crisp) drained, gruyere , emmenthal, or other good swiss cheese, grated (i use a 1/2 combo of and emmenthal), freshly ground nutmeg, salt and pepper
