KITTY LITTER CAKE RECIPE:
Ingredients:
1 package Spice cake mix
1 package white cake mix
1 package white sandwich cookies
Green food coloring
12 small Tootsie Rolls
1 package vanilla pudding mix (not instant)
Preparation:
Prepare cake mixes and bake according to directions.
Prepare pudding mix and chill until ready to assemble.
Crumble white sandwich cookies in small batches in blender (they tend to stick, so scrape
often).
Set aside all but about 1/4 cup.
To the 1/4 cup cookie crumbs, add a few drops green food coloring and mix
using a fork.
When cakes are cooled to room temperature, crumble into a large bowl.
Toss with half of the remaining cookie crumbs and the chilled pudding .
Gently combine: Put the mixture into a new, clean kitty litter box.
Put three unwrapped Tootsie Rolls in a microwave-safe dish and heat until soft and pliable.
Shape ends so they are no longer blunt, curving slightly.
Repeat with three more Tootsie Rolls and bury in mixture.
Sprinkle the other half of cookie crumbs over top; this is supposed to look
like the chlorophyll in kitty litter.
Heat remaining Tootsie Rolls, three at a time, in a microwave until almost
melted.
Scrape them on top of cake and sprinkle with cookie crumbs.
Serve with a new pooper-scooper.
GREEK RICE PUDDING (Greek recipe by
World Wide Recipes)
1/2 cup (125 ml) rice, preferably short-grain
1 cinnamon stick
2 cups (500 ml) water
6 cups (1.5 L) milk

QUICHE LORRAINE (French recipe by
World Wide Recipes)
Ingredients:
1 9-inch (22 cm) pastry shell
1/4 lb (124 g) sliced bacon, cut into 1 inch (2 cm) pieces
2 cups (500 ml) cream or milk
3 eggs, well beaten
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
A grating of fresh nutmeg
1/2 cup (125 ml) diced or shredded Gruyere or Swiss cheese
Preparation:
Prick the bottom of the pie crust thoroughly with a fork to prevent it
from bubbling up during cooking. Fry the bacon in a large skillet
over high heat until much of the fat is rendered out, but do not fry
it until it is crisp. Drain the bacon on paper towels. Combine the
cream, eggs, salt, pepper, and nutmeg in a bowl and mix well. Place
the bacon in the bottom of the pie shell, followed by the cheese.
Pour the egg mixture into the shell and bake in a preheated 375F
(190C) oven for 30 to 40 minutes, until the top is golden brown and a
toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool and
serve lukewarm. Serves 6 to 8.
APPLE PIE
Ingredients and Tools:
200grams flour
100grams butter
200grams sugar
1 kilo apples (yellow)
1 baking-powder bag
2 eggs
1 lemon
baking-pan (not too big)
mixer
oven
Preparation:
Peel the apples, cut and put them on the buttered (or covered by oven-paper)
baking-pan. Sprinkle a little lemon on the apples not to have them become brownish. Mix
first the eggs and sugar, then add flour, lemon rind, baking-powder and butter. Bake for
nearly 50 minutes 180 Celsius degrees. With some electric ovens, 30 minutes are enough.
Turn upside down and serve.
I try to translate the recipes from Italian into English and I guess that
something may come out not to be too clear. Do not hesitate to ask me or send any
corrections!!! I also add a conversion table:
1 gram = 0.035 ounces
1 kilo = 1000 grams = 35 ounces
180 Celsius degrees = 356 Fahrenheit
