Four Foods on Friday #13

Can it possibly be Friday already? Val at Fun, Crafts and Recipes has posted her Four Foods on Friday questions and I have responded as follows:

#1. Cold cuts. Prepackaged or sliced fresh at the deli counter?

I cannot stomach prepackaged lunch meat. I love shaved ham from the deli. My usual order is shaved ham and slices of colby cheese.

#2. Which ingredient reduces acidity in red sauce? Corn syrup, molasses or brown sugar.

I am guessing brown sugar because anything red I have made usually calls for brown sugar. I had no idea the reason to add it.

#3. Whipped cream. Fresh, canned or frozen?

I love the taste of whipping cream out of the can but usually buy the cool whip type.

#4. How do you make pea soup? If you don’t, share a recipe that you use peas in.

I don’t make pea soup but I make Layer Salad that has peas in it.

I call it layer salad because you layer all the ingredients.

In the bottom of a large bowl layer about an inch of shredded lettuce.

Add the following: bacon bits, diced onion, chopped celery

Cover with a layer of frozen peas (about 10 ounces). Sprinkle seasoning salt over the top of the peas. Spoon in a layer of Miracle Whip to cover the peas. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and cover. Store in the refrigerator over night. Toss before serving.

    I love your layer salad! I was thinking of it actually when I answered that question about pea soup!

  3. [...] Karen has shared a recipe called Layer Salad that uses peas. Does the Miracle Whip stay in a layer? Karen writes some interesting stuff, but I’m sure glad she doesn’t include these in the layer salad!!! [...]

    I would hate doing that kind of work. My hands would feel icky.

  16. Karen says:

    I rarely cook either! It isn’t the cooking I mind, it is the cleaning up part that I detest.
