Kai's "Old-Fashioned" Recipe Thread

[jaybird]

JOLIE>>>You are one cooking fool girlfriend. I know you make most these recipes. I'm copying down the shrimp creole now. I'd love to come back down to LA. I'd particularly like to see a lil feller named Michael! Just not sure if I can swing it before summer/early autumn.

Fugie>>>Have you actually MADE and ATE any of these recipes? Once in awhile you slip a good recipe in there (NO, not the liver pudding) that I want to try. I've got the stuff to make the broc fish filets and the tomato soup cake. I'm going to make the cake to take to Sarah's, and the fish tomorrow night.

As far as your weinie recipes, I think I'll just stick with the simple, tried and true method...warm between a nice bun.

1 can tomato soup
1 scant teaspoon soda
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon cinamon
1 teaspoon cloves
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped nuts
1 cup chopped dates

****Fugie>>>Got a question here. In the ingredients list, it calls for a scant teas soda and then for 1 teas baking soda

What sort of soda for that scant teaspoon? And have you made this? I'm thinking of substituting raisins and /or coconut for the dates...
