b <ziiiiiiiiip> This is the first of several articles with recipes for things that are probably rightly considered "treats". I tend to use them as "dinner". They are: Brocoli and cheese Stuffed mushrooms Cheesed potato Natchos None of the above are out of the ordinary, but I thought I would mention them simply because they are so easy and quite good. ------- Brocoli and Cheese 1 clump brocoli 1 egg 1 cup cottage cheese 6-8 oz yellow cheddar cheese (not white NY/Wisconsin etc) a lot garlic *ALL* quantities are extremely subjective. Cook the brocoli a little less that you normally would (either boil it or steam it), so that it remains slightly tough. Toward the end of this, heat up an oven to some hot temparature (say 350). [Drain the brocoli if necessary and] Transfer the brocoli to a baking pan (I use a bread pan because of its convenient size). In a bowl, mix the egg, cottage cheese, and garlic until the egg is blended. Grate and add the cheddar cheese, and stir it in. The consistency at this point isn't critical, it all melts together. Pour this glop on top of the brocoli; put it all in the oven until it looks the way you want it (at least a half an hour). It helps to take it out and make a hole in the topping at some point so that the brocoli doesn't get soggy underneath. I find that this dish improves after spending a night in the refrigerator and being reheated. But then again, I find that true of lasagna, also. And I like cold pizza. Other things can be added to make it more interesting: fresh mushrooms are excellent either mixed raw with the brocoli or broiled/basted beforehand. Mark E. Mallett decvax!sii!mem

b <ziiiiiiiiip> I'm sorry if this is a duplicate. There is some doubt in my mind that it made it yesterday when I posted it-- This is the first of several (two) articles with recipes for things that are probably rightly considered "treats".
