Louisiana River Otter Hot Root Soup
3 Double pawfuls of small red potatoes, chopped into eighths
**3 capfuls of Zatarain’s concentrated shrimp and crab boil
1 stick of butter or oleo
1 red bell pepper, chopped small
1 green bell pepper, chopped small
3 stalks of celery, chopped small
3-5 green onions, chopped small
3 3-fingered pinches of minced garlic
3 small scoops of flour (my scoop is about 1/4 cup)
hot tap water
3 Dbl pawfuls of zucchini, halved and chopped
2-3 cans of stewed tomatoes (I used Del Monte “cajun style”)
2-3 cups of the water the potatoes were boiled in
3 pawfuls of each of the following:
ground black pepper
ground red pepper or cayenne
chili powder
paprika
“Nature’s Season” by Morton or other salt blend ** Zatarain’s is a Louisiana food group. It gives this dish it’s distinct taste. If you have never used Zatarain’s, you don’t know what you’re missing. It’s a blend of essential oils of Bay, Clove, Black pepper, Thyme, and Majoram . You may use the actual spices to season the potatoes, but it won’t be quite the same. ** The method of flour cooked in butter or oil, in La, is known as a Reaux (Roo). All liquid based dishes in La are started this way. It’s traditional and very tasty.
In about 3 quarts of water and Zatatrain’s boil the potatoes until not quite done. Drain and **reserve the water. In a mid to heavy weight pot, brown butter. Add peppers, celery, onions, and garlic. Stir often, cook til translucent. Meanwhile, mix flour with HOT tap water. Blend smooth, you can use a tightly lidded jar and shake. This keeps the lumps out of the dish. Very important! While stirring constantly, blend flour into butter base. Keep stirring as it will thicken greatly. Brown flour, some of it will stick to the pot, scrape and stir in. Add the stewed tomatoes. Mix well. Add up to 3 cups of the potato water. Stir often. Add the zucchini, and potatoes. Add the spices all at once. Lower heat and simmer, for a while. Stir occasionally. The base will thin as the zucchini cook down. Serve Piping hot, option- serve over rice, very South Louisiana. p.s. It’s even better the next day after the spices have soaked for a while.

1 small onion

Mossflower WedgeDough:
2 cups flour(wheat,oat, or white)
1 cup shortening
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp salt Filling:
1 cup chopped leeks (white part)
1 cup chopped onions
1 cup broth or gravy
1/2 to 1 block of cream cheese (optional) Topping:
1/2 cup finely diced small onions1/4 cup olive oil (extra light)
A medium to large oven-safe bowl
Combine the ingredients to make the dough then freeze for a 1/2 hour. Lightly grease the bowl with olive oil or butter then dust with flour. When the dough is ready, smush into the sides and bottom of the bowl (if you don't have enough dough, just make some more)Take the chopped leeks and smush down into the bottom until their packed tight in. Then, if you want cream cheese, spread it on to taste over the layer of leeks. Pack the 1 cup chopped onions down onto the cream cheese and/or leeks. Then take the gravy or broth and ladle it over the onions evenly. Then make some more dough and freeze like you did in the beginning. When the dough is ready, roll it out, lift it carefully and lay it over the filling. Then crimp the edges. Mix the olive oil, and diced small onions and spread on to the top crust. Cut slits in the center. Bake until golden and brown and when no more steams coming out of the top. Serve hot. Refrigerate leftovers in airtight container. I hope you enjoy!!
If you want to you can add a third layer of chopped peppers. You can also mix in a little hotroot in the filling or topping to satisfy your need for spicyness. You might (though I haven't tried) substitute fruit for the vegetables.

2-3 eggs
pinch of salt
pinch of baking soda

Mix. Take your pan, and butter it. Place the raspberries and the honeyed damsons in neat lines. Bake in a 350 degree oven. Repeat to make two cakes.
Once they are firm and cool, slice each cake longways two times. On the bottom layer of the first cake, spread some rosehip syrup lightly across it. Put the sugared violets on it. Place the next layer (of the first cake) lightly on top and spread with blackberry cream. Sprinkle with candied maple leaves. Next layer (of the second cake) placed lightly on top, and spread with almond paste and scatter the rest of the flaked beechnuts on top.

Scones
1 3/4 cups Flour

Preheat oven to 425 F. Mix dry ingredients together, then add heavy cream four tablespoons at a time, stirring well after every four tablespoons. Make sure the cream and the dry ingredients are mixed well. Shape into 3 inch balls (Don't shape too much, just enough so that the Scone stays together. Otherwise they lose their unique scone-shape) and set on a cookie sheet about 3 inches apart from each other. Bake for 10-16 minutes. Makes around 12 Scones. ~~Enjoy!!Note: This is a recipe for plain Scones. But you can add dried fruit, nuts, chocolate chips or pretty much anything you want.
