January 2007 Senior Connector www.seniorconnector.com Page 19Tomatoes with SoftMozzarellaIf it is just for you, use 1 or 2tomatoes and 1 round ball ofthe mozzarella – otherwisefor company, double or tripleor whatever the recipe.Wash the tomatoes andslice them – about 5 slicesto a tomato – medium sizetomatoes. Salt and pepperthe slices on 1 side.Drain the mozzarellaball(s) and dry with a pieceof paper towel, slice thatinto about 10 slices – theycan be thinner than thetomato slices.Get out either a niceceramic or glass-bakingdish– fairly flat – like a flanpan or something like that.If you are making it justA Season’s Greetings ARecipes – Direct from GermanyOver the holiday season, try out a couple of these wonderful, tasty and mouthwatering recipes that were sent to Lynne Jones fromLeona Niedzwiedz in Iserlohn, Germany. Try them out and bon appetite!for you, you can use a dinnerplate but if you aremaking a large batch thenuse something with a rim(especially if you are transporting)as it could run overthe sides when you are carryingit.Ok, you make a “fan” outof the tomato and mozzarella.A piece of tomato,then lay a piece of the mozzarellaon that, then tomato,then mozzarella in a circleand then fill in the middletoo – you can make it a‘tight’ circle or a ‘loose’ circle,depending on how bigyour pan is and how manytomatoes and how muchmozzarella you are using.For the dressing you cando one of two things:First of all – olive oil andthen (I sometime use whiteand sometime the dark) balsamvinegar – like maybe 3tablespoons of the vinegarto about 1 /4 cup of theolive oil – you have to sortof try it yourself to see whatyou think tastes best.Then you mince (witha garlic press) 1 or 2 garliccloves into that mixtureand mix well with salt andpepper.Now here is where youcan vary – I used to put atablespoon of dried oreganoand one of basil into themixture and mix well andthen I let stand for a fewhours before I actually putit on the salad.What I did the last timewas let the oil and vinegarstand with the garlic for afew hours and instead ofputting the dried herbs in.I then made my salad,put the dressing over thefanned tomato and mozzarella.Then I chopped upfresh basil and oregano andsprinkled that on top.It is not as strong tasting– I actually like soaking thedried herbs in the mix. Ithas a zing to it but the other,with the fresh herbs, isgood, especially for wimpypeople who aren’t nutsabout zing but still wantthe lovely taste of the herbswhen they are fresh.Actually, soft mozzarellais so cheap here, andin Canada it costs a bloodyfortune – so you will not bemaking this salad often – itwill be a real treat for youthen!khr09_decMerry Christmas To All !Kamloops Heritage Railwaysends Christmas greetingsand cheer to the manycommunities and peoplewho make our excursionsso special and enjoyable.“Spirit of Christmas” Railtour tickets selling nowCall 374-2141 or visitour website at www.kamrail.comOven roastedpotatoesI wish I could send oversome of my oven roastedpotatoes – they are so flippingeasy – here’s the trick!You take potatoes (helpsif they are all sort of thesame size – not too big– rather smaller than toobig), and you cut themlengthwise in half (they layon the baking sheet betterthat way), and you eitherrub them with oil or usea brush – but if you use abrush, you get your handsgreasy anyway so you mightas well use your hands tobegin with. Then you put4 oz. chocolate milk2 oz. cold coffeewhipped creamthem, cut side UP on a bakingsheet (I put a piece ofbaking paper on the bakingsheet – helps with theclean up) and then sprinklethem with salt and pepper– If you have a salt mill anda pepper mill, it is evermoreinteresting.Then you can chop upsome rosemary needles –the fresh ones, OR you canstrip thyme off the stemsand sprinkle the potatohalves with that – looksinteresting, smell good andtastes good too!Then off into a hot (200C is good) oven for about40 minutes – check themafter 35, and if they aren’tSmall Job SolutionsOffering a variety of handyman servicesto assist you with your winter projectsstarting to brown on top,leave them for another 5 or10 minutes, until they arelight (or darker if you prefer– I like them darker, goldenbrown, and then take themout and serve (or eat).
