Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour mix, xanthan
gum, egg replacer, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and
salt. Set aside.
In the bowl of the mixer, cream the margarine and sugar until
light. Add the egg and vanilla and beat well. (Note: I don't
have a heavy duty mixer, so I used a hand held one and I did
have alittle trouble with the dough sticking to the beaters. So
don't be discouraged if you have to keep pushing the dough
off the beaters with a spatula, you aren't doing anything
wrong. And don't worry I promise these cookies are well
worth the trouble!).
Add the dry ingredients in 3 additions. If the dough becomes
too stiff, add the milk as needed.
Shape the dough into two 10"x1-1/2" rolls. Wrap in foil and
chill.Chill for about 15-20 minutes.
Cut into 1/8" slices, if you have a cookie stamp, you can at
this point press in onto the sliced cookies before baking. Bake
these cookies on an UNGREASED cookie sheet for 10 minutes.
Let cool for only a few minutes before removing from the
cookie sheet. Cool thoroughly on a rack.
For the filling, combine confectioners' sugar, shortening,
vanilla and hot water ( use enough to create a good spreading
texture.).

5. Stir in boiling water by hand (batter will be

less than 1 cup water. I usually use between 2/3

doesn't seem to "fall" as much as it cools. This
might have to do with our high humidity or

it will work for everyone.

On page 37, we can change the sour cream of the puff pastries

On page 25, the portion was originally 24 Oreo Cookies. We

42. 1. For cleaning smelly hands after chopping onions or garlic, just rub them on a
stainless steel spoon. The steel is supposed to absorb the odor.
2. Fresh coffee beans can also absorb nasty odors from your hands.
3. If you happen to over-salt a pot of soup, just drop in a peeled potato. The potato will
absorb the excess salt.
4. When boiling eggs, add a pinch of salt to keep the shells from cracking.
5. Never put citrus fruits or tomatoes in the fridge. The low temperatures degrade the aroma
and flavor of these persnickety fruits.
6. To clean cast iron cookwear, don’t use detergents. Just scrub them with salt and a clean,
dry paper towel.
7. Will milk curdle if it is allowed to boil? It turns out that this age-old piece of wisdom isn’t
true, after all. Milk that has been boiled is perfectly safe to consume.
8. To clean an electric kettle with calcium buildup on the heating element, boil a mixture
of half white vinegar and half water, then empty.
9. When storing empty airtight containers, throw in a
pinch of salt to keep them from getting stinky.
If you are making gravy and accidentally burn it, just
pour it into a clean pan and continue cooking it. Add
sugar a little at a time, tasting as you go to avoid over-
sugaring it. The sugar will cancel out the burned taste.
11. Burned a pot of rice? Just place a piece of white
bread on top of the rice for 5-10 minutes to draw out the
burned flavor. Be careful not to scrape the burned pieces
off of the bottom of the pan when serving the rice.
12. Before you chop chili peppers, rub a little
vegetable oil into your hands and your skin won’t
absorb the spicy chili oil.

5. Never put citrus fruits or tomatoes in the fridge. The low temperatures degrade the aroma
and flavor of these persnickety fruits.
6. To clean cast iron cookwear, don’t use detergents. Just scrub them with salt and a clean,
dry paper towel.
7. Will milk curdle if it is allowed to boil? It turns out that this age-old piece of wisdom isn’t
true, after all. Milk that has been boiled is perfectly safe to consume.
8. To clean an electric kettle with calcium buildup on the heating element, boil a mixture
of half white vinegar and half water, then empty.
9. When storing empty airtight containers, throw in a
pinch of salt to keep them from getting stinky.
If you are making gravy and accidentally burn it, just
pour it into a clean pan and continue cooking it. Add
sugar a little at a time, tasting as you go to avoid over-
sugaring it. The sugar will cancel out the burned taste.
11. Burned a pot of rice? Just place a piece of white
bread on top of the rice for 5-10 minutes to draw out the
burned flavor. Be careful not to scrape the burned pieces
off of the bottom of the pan when serving the rice.
12. Before you chop chili peppers, rub a little
vegetable oil into your hands and your skin won’t
absorb the spicy chili oil.

46. 13. If you aren’t sure how fresh your eggs are, place them in about four inches of
water. Eggs that stay on the bottom are fresh. If only one end tips up, the egg is less fresh and
should be used soon. If it floats, it’s past the fresh stage.
14. To banish ants from the kitchen, find out where they are coming in and cover the hole
with petroleum jelly. Ants won’t trek through the jelly. If they are coming under a door, draw a
line on the floor with chalk. The little bugs also won’t cross a line of chalk.
15. Before making popcorn on the stove or in an air popper, soak the kernels in water for
10 minutes. Drain the water, then pop as normal. The additional moisture helps the popcorn
pop up quicker and fluffier with fewer “old maids.”
16. Don’t store your bananas in a bunch or in a fruit bowl with other fruits. Separate your
bananas and place each in a different location. Bananas release gases which cause fruits
(including other bananas) to ripen quickly. Separating them will keep them fresh longer.
17. To keep potatoes from budding in the bag, put an apple in with them.
18. If you manage to have some leftover wine at the end of the evening, freeze it
inice cube trays for easy addition to soups and sauces in the future.
19. To clean crevices and corners in vases
and pitchers, fill with water and drop in two
Alka-Seltzer tablets. The bubbles will do the
scrubbing.
20. After boiling pasta or potatoes, cool the
water and use it to water your house
plants. The
water contains
nutrients that
your plants
will love.
