72.1Mark, pick up the ingredients for October, ok?TOLKIN::OROURKEJen-a-tolla-house-cookieTue Jul 14 1992 18:4035
    
    
    Per my brother's request, here is one of the cookie recipies I use.  It
    is right off the Quaker Oat's box...so it is no secret.
    
    And as I've explained to mum-Wen, it isn't the recipe that makes a
    great cookie, it's the baker....without the technique and the magic
    wooden spoon, you're doomed!

	1 1/4 cups margarine
	3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
	1/2 cup granulated sugar
	1 egg
	1 teaspoon vanilla
	1 1/2 cups flour
	1 teaspoon baking soda
	1 teaspoon salt
	1 teaspoon cinnamon
	1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
	3 cups Quaker Oats (quick or old fashioned, uncooked)

	Heat oven to 375 degrees.  Beat together margarine and sugars 
        until light and fluffy.  Beat in egg and vanilla.  Combine 
	flour, baking soda, salt and spices; add to margarine mixture,
	mixing well.  Stir in Oats.  Drop by rounded tablespoon onto
	ungreased cookie sheet.  Baked 8-9 minutes for a chewy cookie,
	10-11 minutes for a crisp cookie.   

	Note:  if desired add 1 cup raisins or chopped nuts or semi-sweet 
	chocolate.

72.2GREAT STEW RECIPE!PIPPIN::OROURKEFumes!ToxicWaste!They'reAllOurs!Thu Jul 23 1992 02:2925
    
    Here's a great recipe I just came across while cleaning!

    			Elephant Stew
                        =============
    	Ingredients:  1 elephant
    		      Salt & peper to taste
    	              2 Rabbits, optional
    
    		Cut the elephant up into small pieces, bite sized.  This
                should take about two months.  Add enough brown gravy to
                cover.  Cook over kerosene fire for about four weeks at 465
                degrees F.  This should feed about 3,800 people.  If more
                are expected, two rabbits may be added, but do this only if
                necessary as most people do not like to find hare in their 
                stew.  Be sure to shop early as elephants are in short
                supply this year.
    
    Bon apetite :^)

        4 Cups flour                        Shortening(to fry with)
