scalloped Chicken
1 5lb hen
1 onion sliced
2 quarts water
1 carrot
2 tsp salt
Sauce
1 cup chicken fat
1 cup milk
2 tsp salt
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup sifted flour
4 eggs
Stuffing
1 1/2 loaves 2 day old white bread
2 prigs parsley
2 large sticks celery
1 tsp salt
1 tsp poultry seasoning
1/2 cup butter or margarine
6 scallions (or 1 med sized onion)
ground cooked giblets
dash pepper
6 TBL chicken broth
Topping
1 cup dry bread crumbs
4 TBL melted butter
First step
Put hen in large pot with carrots, sliced onion, salt and water. Let it cook very slowly 2 1/2 hours until meat begins to leave bones. Let bird cool in its own liquid. When cool take out and pull meat off bones and the skin off meat. Put skin through food chopped (optional).Cook giblets in salt water until tender.
Second Step
While hen cooks, make dressing. Crumble bread (save crusts to grind up and use other ways). Melt butter or margarine in a skillet. Cut up parsley, scallions with their tops, and celery, their tops, too. Cook these vegetables in the butter over low heat for 5 minutes. Then mix into bread crumbs lightly with a fork and mix in. Add salt, pepper and poultry seasoning. Finally, mix in 6 TBL of the chicken broth. No more liquid or your dressing will be heavy.
Third Step
Skim the fat off the top of chicken broth and heat one cup in a large heavy sauce pan. (If you don't get that much fat, make up the difference with butter or margarine.) Heat 4 cups chicken broth and 1 cup milk together, but do not boil. Stir 1 cup sifted flour into melted fat until smooth. Add broth and milk mixture gradually; stirring constantly. Add salt. Cook until very thick stirring all the time. When cooked, beat 4 eggs slightly and mix in a little of the sauce. (This is to keep the eggs from curdling).
Then combine sauce and eggs and cook over low heat, another 3 or 4 minutes. But keep stirring. Remove from heat and add ground chicken skin (optional)
Fourth Step
Grease 1 large or 2 small casseroles. Put stuffing in the bottom carefully. Pour over it the sauce. On top of this, spread the chicken meat, which has been cut up with scissors into nice pieces. Add remaining sauce. Take the cup of bread crumbs and toss in melted butter. Sprinkle on top. Put casserole in moderate oven 375* and bake 20 minutes or until crumbs are golden brown and the scalloped chicken is piping hot all the way through.
Serves 12 generously.

Kaiserschmarren (Emperor's hodge podge) From Vienna, Austria

Preheat oven 400*-425* Mix sifted flour with milk, add the sugar and egg yolks, a pinch of salt, and lastly, the stiffly beaten egg whites.
Liberally grease a 9 x 13 cake pan and pour in mixture. Bake about 10-12 minutes until firm and just beginning to brown. Remove from oven and with 2 forks, chop mixture and stir up into small pieces all over pan. Pieces will be soft and tend to clump together. After stirring all around, place pan back in oven for about 5 more minutes until moisture evaporates a little. (May turn oven off as heat is usually sufficient from baking.)
Remove from oven and stir again. Serve with powdered sugar (to be sprinkled on top by each person). Ideally you should serve with plum compote (stewed plums) which are spooned on top or on side. But any spooned or canned fruit makes a nice accompaniment.

Hamburger Top Hats Make mashed potatoes (instant works too) Salt a half sheet pan, just sprinkle it lightly press out 1/3 lb burgers to 1/4 inch thick on the salted pan put a cheese cube on the middle of the burger top with a mountain of mashed potatoes, sealing in the cheese. Bake at 350 degrees F for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes Top the potatoes with ketchup 10 minutes before removing from the oven we can never get enough of these and they heat up great the next day. It takes about 15 minutes to prepare. I'm making these today for the guys. I gave up meat for a while now, so I'm making some alternate top hats for me.
I baking slices of zucchini with slices of onions on them, olive oil, s&p. I'm thawing some mushrooms with cheese we put away earlier. Then once the veggies are soft I'll top them with cheese/mushrooms, then with mashed potatoes. Then bake and top with ketchup, FOR ME!! ha ha.
The only problem I'm finding is that some of vegetarian type foods I've assembled have disappeared out of the freezer. Who knew my DS kind of liked my choices. I didn't expect that.
Two thirds of it will be the hamburger top hats and 1/3rd will be the veggie top hats. I wonder how cauliflower mash would be on these? I haven't tried it yet.
