Well, after so many wonderful suggestions about the Lamb Stew, I think we need a dessert to go with all of it. This 1943 Meringue dish just might fit the bill. Especially when the flavor is the chef's choice! I'm thinking Raspberry, but you let me know your thoughts. 🍽️ 🍜 #FoodSky #RecipeOfTheDay

Beat egg yolks and stir in about half of the scalding hot milk; return to other half of milk in double boiler and cook over boiling water, stirring constantly, until custard coats a metal spoon. Remove immediately from heat; add vanilla. Cool and chill. When ready to serve, beat the egg whites until fairly stiff; add the jam or jelly and a pinch of salt, and continue beating until very stiff and smooth.

I woke up to a wet gray world. I bet a bowl of this Chicken Fricasse might help me have a brighter outlook for the day. Now what should we serve with it? Noodles, Rice, or dumplings? Let me know your choice below. 🍽️ 🍜 #FoodSky #Cooking #Recipes #RecipeOfTheDay
From 1975, Joy of Cooking CHICKEN OR TURKEY STEW OR FRICASSEE A fricassee is a simmered meat, usually chicken, veal or rabbit. Whether this meat is to be simmered in stock or in water; whether it is to be sautéed first in butter or put directly into boiling liquid; whether it is to be simmered first and browned afterward; what the additions are to be; whether or not a thickening of flour is to be used; whether the stock is to be thickened at the last with cream and eggs-these are all matters of tradition, personal taste and convenience. Typical fricassees are the following. Clean and cut into pieces: A 5-Ib. stewing chicken or pieces of turkey Place the chicken in a stewing pan and bring to the boiling point with: 3 cups water 1 sliced carrot 2 ribs celery with leaves 1 small sliced onion Reduce heat and simmer the fowl about 15 minutes and remove scum. Continue to » simmer covered until the meat is tender, 2 hours or more. • Do not boil at any time. At the end of the first hour of cooking, add: 3 or 4 peppercorns Remove the meat and strain the stock. If a very concentrated gravy is desired, boil the stock before thickening until reduced to 1½ cups. Thicken with: Flour, see Poultry Pan Gravy Pour the gravy over the chicken. Garnish with: Parsley Serve with: Noodles, Dumplings, or Boiled Rice, 5 Servings
