Kathryn (Tat) Resovsky Baine's recipe

Gommer's Pickle Juice Cole Slaw

1 head cabbage
Pickle juice (what's left when you eat the last pickle in the jar)
Hellman's mayo

Grate the cabbage. (Remove knuckle shavings.) Put the cabbage in a big bowl and pour the pickle juice over it. Marinate the cabbage in the pickle juice for a couple of hours if you have that much time. (I usually don't, and it isn't as good that way, but it is still good. ) Add about ¾ cup of Hellman's mayo or less and mix it all up. It's a quick way to make slaw and a great way to recycle pickle juice.*

Georgia Pebley Glover as told by Judy
* Other ways to recycle pickle juice include using it in potato salad, deviled eggs, and tuna salad.

Lava Sandwaich

Charlie's note: To the general public, this recipe is absolutely disgusting. Nevertheless, for a few fragile years in the 15- to 18- year-old range, male youths consider this the height of culinary art. Do not attempt this recipe if you are NOT a teenage male, with many years of life ahead of you. I invented this sandwich at age 16. This sandwich--indeed, a wantonly bastardized version of the Philly Cheesesteak--was given its volcanic moniker by an accomplice, who noted with wonder its steaming, glowing (and most disturbingly) pinkish hue. It was a genuine hit among my friends, and (especially) my enemies. Yes, we were all idiots, weren't we?

Long Amoroso roll
Cheddar cheese, grated
American cheese, grated
Ricotta cheese, not grated, thoughI did try to
2 Boxes of Steak-umm
1 lb. Ground Beef
Onions, diced (in a half-hearted, ramble-on sort of way)
Miracle-Whip
Barbecue sauce
Mushrooms, diced (really halved)
Pepper
Horseradish sauce, prepared

In skillet, fry all vegetables until…whenever. Then, fry all Steak-umms, breaking up as per a cheesesteak. Add ground beef and brown. Add approximately 2 Tbsp of all condiments except Miracle Whip. Add liberal amounts of all cheeses, stirring constantly. Stop adding cheese when the cheese/meat mixture can do a Gillette Foamy "thick and rich enough" test off the stirring spoon indefinitely. Think intestinal glue. At this point, begin adding Miracle-Whip to the skillet mixture, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the entire mixture achieves a slightly day-glo pinkish hue. Add pepper in liberal amounts, usually "I dare you to add this much pepper" sort of thing. Spoon the meat/cheese/condiment mixture onto a long roll. I recall garnishing this sandwich with ¼ cup parsley as a joke.
Enjoy with a sugary soft drink while playing Space Invaders. Serves 3-4

Irish Potato Bread

Irish Potato Bread
Put any amount of cooked, leftover mashed potatoes made with real Idaho potatoes, milk and butter. Add handfuls of flour and knead until you get the consistency of pie dough. Roll out a handful on floured board until ¼ inch thick and about 9 inches in diameter. Cut into quarters. Repeat until all the potato mixture is used.
On hot flat griddle or pan, bake pieces on top of stove until small brown spots appear on the bottom of the potato bread. Turn over and do the same to the other side. Cool, then refrigerate overnight or freeze. (Then defrost when needed).
To eat, fry in margarine, butter, or bacon fat. Serve for breakfast with eggs, etc.
Susan Kennedy McGloughlin as preserved by Marilyn Lee McGloughlin Berger
*Aunt Marilyn's annual Potato Bread Breakfast is a very important tradition in tthe McGloughlin Family. It is one of the few times in the year that we are all together. In addition to potato bread, lovingly made by Aunt Marilyn, this breakfast feast features eggs -any way you like them, bacon, scrapple, sausage, doughnuts, danish, fresh fruit, juice and coffee. After consuming this, we stagger to the living room and exchange gifts.

I just went to a great restaurant called 25 Burgers.  These are AMAZING burgers and are not too pricey. They also play my music from the 50's alot. I think it might be a chain in early infancy. Look for one to come near you.---Judy
