Hello Recipe Club,

This is a true story. Sunday night we noticed a message on the phone in my office, so I checked to see if it was important. On the machine was this message from one of my young nephews.

Hi, This is Logan. I have some good news. I just lost my front tooth and my other front tooth is loose. And so if I lose my other front tooth I'll be able to sing for Christmas…"All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth." Well that's all I wanted to tell you…Bye.

True story! We laughed for 15 minutes, playing it over and over.

Here are some more recipes from Personal Chef Terry Henderson. http://www.canadianpersonalchefalliance.com

SAUCE'EM AWESOME

You won't believe your tastebuds with Minor's Elegant but Easy "No-Cook" Classic Sauce Concentrates.
Why spend all day over a hot stove when you can be done in minutes and achieve scratch-quality flavor?
There's no need to reduce stock for 3 days for a Demi-Glace. You don't have to worry about how much
cheese to use in the Alfredo. Double boilers and breaking sauces are a thing of the past for Hollandaise.
If you can boil water, you can now serve elegant sauces in about 5 minutes.
Think of how nice one of these sauces will dress up a special holiday or family dinner.

2 tbsp. Butter or margarine
3/4 cup Sliced green onions
3/4 cup Chopped celery
4 cups Cooked brown rice
3/4 cup Orange juice; divided

Directions:

Cook almonds in butter in large skillet over medium-high heat until brown. Add onions and celery, cook until vegetables are tender crisp. Stir in rice, 1/2 cup orange juice, orange peel, 1 teaspoon ginger and salt, set aside.

Untie roast, and spoon rice mixture lengthwise between loins. Retie roast securely with string at 2- to 3-inch intervals; place, fat side down, on rack in shallow roasting pan.

Combine rosemary and pepper; sprinkle over roast. Insert meat thermometer so it does not touch stuffing or fat. Bake at 325 F. for 1-1/2 hours.

Combine cranberry sauce, remaining orange juice, remaining ginger, and orange in small saucepan, stir well. Simmer over medium heat 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Brush about 1/2 cup cranberry mixture over pork.

Bake an additional 15 minutes or until meat thermometer registers 170 F. Let roast stand 10 minutes. Remove string and slice roast. Serve with remaining cranberry sauce.

Serves 8-10
