Good morning, readers. The clock is ticking, the gifts are gathered, yet there is more work to be done. Today we had no new requests and that gives us a chance to remind you of recipes lost but not found. Here is a today’s portion: gourmet nachos, homemade salsa made with tomatillos, Cajun gumbo, Buffalo chicken salad, crispy grilled fish tacos.
Debbie Pataky of Lookout Mountain has a recipe — for dipping oil for bread — that combines three virtues: “simple, quick and delicious.” The key ingredient, Parmesan bread dipping spice, is available at Fresh Market and in the delis at Publix. Pataky does not give specific amounts — she is a creative cook — but I wonder whether any proportions could go wrong. She served it for family and “was complimented by a relative of Italian heritage that it was the best bruschetta he had ever tasted.”
