Sun-Dried Tomato Spread

Sun-Dried Tomato Spread by A.L. Wiebe

This is an extremely tasty appetizer spread, that I borrowed from Terry Thomson's "Cajun and Creole Cooking" book. I blatantly copied this, as I couldn't figure out what I would do to improve on the flavors here. Indeed, why would I? If it ain't broke...why fix it? Having said that, though, this is not to say that you couldn't play…

Maid Rite and Tendermaid Hamburgers At Home

Maid Rite and Tendermaid Hamburgers At Home by Terry

The secret to a Maid Rite and/or Tendermaid style loose burger Hamburger is that the beef is steamed and not fried, and this does make all the difference. Making them at home can be done although it is slightly more painstaking than the frying pan, but well worth the effort. I use a streiner or colander over a pot of boiling water…
