                                    1. Uncle Bob's Famous 2-3-4 Hamburger.

      Have you ever noticed that when you fry a hamburger it is smaller then when you first started. When you do a 2-3-4 Hamburger, it is nice and juicy, it is cooked all the way through, and it is the same size as what you started with. First of all, using ground beef, make a hamburger as big as you like with your hands. Then put this hamburger into a sandwich bag and put that onto a plate. Put the burger into the microwave oven and set it for 2-3-4 or for 2 minutes and 34 seconds. When it is done, carefully pull it out of the sandwich bag. It is very Hot so do not burn yourself. Put the burger on a paper towel to get rid of some of the grease and then put it on your bun. There are two ways that I eat my hamburger. The traditional way by adding salt and pepper to the burger and then you add mustard, ketchup and a pickle relish. Then you add a slice of tomato, a slice of onion and a crisp lettuce leaf. It is now ready to eat. A second way that I eat my burger is to put Miracle Whip on both sides of a toasted bun. Then you add a slice of tomato, a slice of onion, a slice of mild Cheddar Cheese and a crisp lettuce leaf. This is really a yummy burger !!

                                   2. A Butter And Black Pepper Sandwich.

      When I first heard of this I thought it was going to taste yucky. But it turned out to be very tasty. This recipe works best if you are using French Bread. Cut yourself two slices of French Bread and spread some real butter onto them. Put them into the microwave oven for 30 seconds and then add Black Pepper to them. Somehow the real butter and the black pepper has a different but pleasant taste. You have got to try this. It is really good. It is not Hot to eat but it does have a Black Pepper taste, and it is very yummy !!

                                  3. Try A Peanut Butter And Lettuce Sandwich.

      As kids we enjoyed eating peanut butter on celery sticks, or a common snack that we ate when we got home from school was to break off a piece from a lettuce head and eat it with peanut butter on it. Oh does that taste good together. When my Mom would fix us sandwiches for school they were most generally peanut butter and jelly, egg salad, tuna fish, boloney, lunch meat or a peanut butter and lettuce sandwich. We also often ate the peanut butter and lettuce sandwich as an after school snack. Put Peanut Butter onto both slices of bread and add 4 to 6 crisp lettuce leaves. You just can not believe how good this does taste, and it is very healthy to eat.

                          4. Uncle Bob's Most Famous Mashed Potatoes----Yummy !!

      In this recipe I use real potatoes. I peel the potatoes, cut them up into small pieces and boil them for 12 to 15 minutes or until you can poke a fork into them. I will pour the Hot water down the drain and use a potato masher. Some people would rather use an electric beater but I use a masher. After they are mashed add a cube of real butter for 6 to 8 people or for 12 or more people put in 2 cubes of butter. After the butter has melted and it has been mashed into the potatoes then add milk. I'll usually put a cup or more of milk altogether. But I will add a little bit at a time until I get the fluffiness that I desire in the mashed potatoes. Now it is ready for salt. Sprinkle a bunch in the potatoes and mash it in then taste it. Add more salt and mash it some more and again taste it. You keep doing this until the potatoes taste just right. Now you add the pepper and mash it in. You keep doing this until the pepper taste just right. The Real Butter and the Black Pepper will give your potatoes a different but excellent flavor. It is now ready to put onto the table. Some of the extras that you add to your potatoes are: more butter, sour cream, bacon bits, fried hamburger or sausage, frozen peas that have been warmed, chopped onion, corn or a combination of these additives. Then you add your favorite gravy. My favorite is country gravy. Then you sprinkle shredded mild cheddar cheese on the gravy. Some may say this is very fattening and I will say, yes it is, but you are only eating it every once in a while so why not enjoy it. And believe me these Mashed Potatoes are really----Yummy !!!!

                                              5. Num-Num Milk.

      I am sure that others have also made this but they have a different name for it. This is one drink that kids really love and also the adults and it is very easy to make. Put some milk into a 16 fl. oz. cup and add one teaspoons of sugar. Stir this well and add 3 or 4 drops of vanilla flavoring. Sprinkle cinnamon on the top and stir again. It is now ready to drink. Other flavors could also be used like maple, orange, cherry, strawberry, coconut, butterscotch or almond just to name a few. If you really want to buff it up add  some vanilla ice cream and turn it into a milk shake----Yummy !!!!

                                             6. Molasses And Milk.

      This is a drink that my Grandmother received from her Grandmother and where it all began who knows. This drink has 9 minerals and vitamin B-6. It is very rich in Potassium. In fact the Potassium is 20% higher in molasses then any other food. Potassium will lower your blood pressure and the drinking of molasses and milk with it's 9 minerals will kill Cancer cells in your body. Grandma's Molasses is my favorite brand because it is not bitter as some of the other molasses are.
      It is very simple to make Molasses and Milk. Put ice cold milk into a 16 fl. oz. glass and add one teaspoon of " Grandma's Molasses " and stir until the molasses is gone from the bottom. I never measure it. I just dump some molasses in and stir. If it taste too strong then I add more milk. When it is just right it has a natural maple flavor to it. I drink molasses and milk about 300 times a year.

                                       7. Uncle Bob's Basic Pancake Mix.

      This is a Pancake Mix that I invented ever since I began living on my own. It is made from the basics, and it is filling and it is a good tasting pancake. Most people use water to make their pancake batter but not me. I always use milk. The recipe is very simple. To one cup of flour add one egg. If you have plenty of eggs then use two eggs. Add a tablespoon of vegetable oil, a tablespoon of sugar and a level teaspoon of baking powder. Add a half teaspoon each of vanilla and maple flavorings. Then add a level teaspoon of cinnamon. A hand full of raisins can also be added if you like them. Then add milk until your batter becomes nice and creamy or runny enough to dump into a pan to make pancakes. Be sure to add vegetable oil into your pan before pouring the pancake batter into the pan and cook this on low heat until they are a pretty brown on each side. Just before they are done I always mash mine down with the spatula to make sure there is no runny batter inside the cake. I will put them on a plate and melt real butter on the cakes and eat them with pancake syrup. Or you could add corn syrup and add a few drops of your favorite flavor. In this way you can make a whole bunch of different flavored syrups. I also enjoy frozen jellies and whipped cream on my pancakes.
      This recipe makes about 3 or 4 large pancakes or 6 smaller ones. This is a yummy and a very filling pancake, So enjoy yourself with a great tasting pancake.

                                    8. Uncle Bob's Hot Oatmeal Cereal.

      Most people hate hot lumpy mushy Oatmeal Cereal. My children have brought their friends home and when I made Oatmeal Cereal these friends would turn their nose up at it and tell me that they hate Oatmeal Cereal. But after they had tried mine they would be asking for seconds.
      So how do I make my Oatmeal taste so yummy ?  First of all I use Quick-Oats. In my book the old fashion Oatmeal was made for horses and not for people. It is way too tough to eat. First of all I will boil a pan of water and then using a wire-whisk or a serving spoon I'll pour in the Quick-Oats and stir it with a spoon. I never measure the Oatmeal. When it starts to get thick I quit pouring it in and I never cook it for more then 60 seconds. When it is done remove it from the heat and sprinkle some salt into it so it will not have a flat taste. Put about a half of a cube of butter into the cereal and stir until it is melted. Then add brown sugar until it is as sweet as you like it. Then add a few drops of each of both vanilla and maple flavorings. I then sprinkle some cinnamon into it and I will also add some chocolate chips and or raisins if you like them. If I have M and M candies I will use them instead of the chocolate chips. Last of all you add a scoop of vanilla ice cream to your bowl of Oatmeal if you have any. This is a great tasting Oatmeal Cereal even if you have no chocolate chips or raisins in it. and kids always ask for more. Of course we always put milk into our cereal so it will have a creamy look to it.
      Enjoy the best tasting Oatmeal Cereal you have ever eaten

                                9. Uncle Bob's Dish Of Elbow Macaroni.

      When I began to live on my own I would fix myself a simple dish of Elbow Macaroni and eat this with a bowl of salad, The dish of Macaroni is easy to make and it is surprisingly tasty to eat. Boil a pan on the stove and add a little bit of salt to it. While it is boiling add the Macaroni as much as you and or others wish to eat. Cook the Macaroni long enough to where you can poke a fork into it. Turn off the heat and carefully drain the hot water down into the sink. Then dump the Macaroni into a large bowl. While it is very hot add one fourth of a cube of real butter and stir the butter well into the Macaroni until the butter is all melted. Then add salt and pepper until it tastes just right. This is really good food and you can eat it with any salad.
      You can eat the Macaroni as is or you could mix other foods with the Macaroni. I will add any of the following to make it a tasty dish. Hot frozen peas, raw celery that has been cubed, chopped up boiled eggs, chopped up raw onions and or green bell peppers, cooked hamburger or sausage and sour cream and or your favorite salad dressing could be added. Any of these extras will make the Macaroni taste good but my favorite dish is the Macaroni with real butter and salt and pepper.
      The Macaroni that is left over, put it in the fridge for another day as leftovers. For breakfast I will put the leftover Macaroni into a fry pan and fry scrambled eggs with it. I will add chopped onions ,green peppers, celery, sausage and or bacon bits. You just can not believe how good this will taste.
      We will also add the Elbow Macaroni to the Chili that we are about to eat and stir it in. This is called  " Chili Mac " and it is very good to eat. Chili Mac has been a family traditional meal for as long as I can remember.

                                                 10. Left Over White Rice.

      For both Dinner and or Supper many people will cook up some White Rice and they will use this instead of using Egg Noodles, and there are many kinds, or Potatoes. They would fix up the White Rice and make it a yummy dish of food, the same as they would have done to the Noodles or the Potatoes. Or they will make a Soy Sauce additive with vegetables and they will dump this onto the White Rice. The left over White Rice is either put into the frig or it is thrown away. In our house the White Rice in placed in the frig to be used as Dessert for another time. It is never thrown away.
      We will pull the White Rice out of the frig and we will make a traditional Dessert out of it. We will heat up White Rice until it gets hot and then we will add real butter to the hot Rice and stir it in well. Then we will add Brown Sugar to sweeten it. Then we will add just little bit of salt, a few drops of Vanilla flavoring and sprinkle on some ground up Cinnamon. This taste really good the way it is or you could add a bit of real cream or raisins, whipped cream and or a scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream. Oh you can not believe how good this Dessert is and it was made from the left over rice.

12 Simple Remedies For Acne.

      Acne is a Skin Disease that is common among teenagers. Adults have Acne also but generally it is not as bad as what the younger generation may suffer from it. I had Acne really bad for about seven years and I had it under control before I turned 18 years old. I had very oily skin and I suffered from several shin diseases pretty much all the same time. Those were Boils all over the body, Impetigo, Hives and puss pockets forming all over the body and my ear lobes. The Acne was all over my face, my neck, my chest and back. I was an ugly mess for a long time. I had only a few friends and the girls wanted nothing to do with me. Those were lonely years and my two best friends was my mother and a dog who couldn't care how I looked. When it was all over, I had scares or little pits all over my face. As I got older the scares somewhat disappeared. After 20 years old up to the age that I am now, my skin has been very clear. Thank goodness no more pimples. I do still get Boils maybe one or two of them every spring but that is all.
      My Mom took me to several different Doctors but none of their Drugs would help me. When I turned 16 years old my Mom took me to a German Doctor who put me on a special diet. He believed that a lot of the foods I was eating were reacting negatively on my body. He said those foods were poisonous to me. I was to eat no sugar but I could have Honey or artificial sweeteners. I could not eat any oily or greasy foods. I could not eat ice cream, cheese, cottage cheese, peanut butter or any form of chocolate. I could eat all the fruits and vegetables that I wanted and in the way of meats I could only eat beef, chicken, turkey and fish. I could also eat all the dried fruits that I wanted. After 6 months my skin everywhere became all clear. The pimples were all gone. I stayed on this diet for a whole year and the Acne never reappeared, except for a pimple every once in a while.
      If you are suffering from Acne right now there are some Remedies that can be very helpful but none of these will clear up your skin over night. But you could see some excellent results in two or more weeks. Hang in there and we will see what can be done.

 1. You could try the diet that is listed up above. Hey it really worked for me and I had one of the worst cases of Acne that the Doctors had ever seen, and I do not have Acne anymore.

 2. After you have washed your face with soap and water, break open an egg and separates the yolk from the egg white. Dip a cotton ball into the egg white and rub this on your pimples and blackheads. This will draw the oils from off your face and after a time it will give you a clear complexion..

3. Prepared Oatmeal will get rid of Acne. When the cooked Oatmeal has cooled, spread this onto the Acne affected areas and then cover the Oatmeal with a damp wash cloth for 15 minutes, then wash all the Oatmeal off. Do this once a day. Doing this twice a day is even better. After about 3 weeks the Acne will be gone. If you would like to double the Oatmeal effect on your Acne then add a level teaspoon of Baking Soda to the Oatmeal mixture. then sprinkle some cinnamon into the mixture. Both of these will get rid of Acne and make the Remedy smell good.

 4. Pure Lemon Juice will help Acne to heal. But when lemons are not available then use household Apple Cider Vinegar. If you can use both of these then that would even be better. Use a cotton ball and soak it in the vinegar. Then rub it onto each pimple. It will sting at first but after several applications the pimples will all disappear.

 5. Many soaps are hard on sensitive skin and it is especially bad on those who have Acne. One of the best soaps to use on sensitive skin is " Fels-Naptha " soap. This soap does wonders to all kinds of skin blemishes. In fact it is good for your whole body and you will not have itches after a bath. This soap is by far less irritating to your skin then all other soaps.

 6. Take " Zinc Pills " for Acne. Take only 15 mg a day. Do not take any more unless your Doctor OK's it. Zinc Pills will also control body odor so that you will not stink.

 7. A humid climate will generally cause Acne to flair up on your face, neck, back or chest. When I had Acne I was living in Ohio but every time we came out west to one of the drier states, my Acne would clear up in about two weeks. After we had returned to Ohio the Acne would reappear. Any dry area in the world would greatly help in clearing up the Acne. If you are one who already lives in a dry climate and you still have Acne, then you need to change your diet or try one of the other Remedies that are listed.

 8. The oils and dry skin will come off your face at night onto your pillow. So wash the pillow case two or three times a week while you are trying to get rid of your Acne.

 9. There is an advertisement on TV called " Bath Fitter " where they come into your home and change your ugly bathroom into a new and nice looking bathroom. At the end of the advertisement there is a lady sitting on the couch wearing a green face mask. This is called an Avocado Face Mask. This is great for skin blemishes, Acne or making your face soft and beautiful. Buy an Avocado and cut it in half. Throw away the seed and scrape out all the green flesh putting it into a bowl. Mash it up with a fork and add a tablespoon of Honey, a half teaspoon of Baking Soda and the juice from a half of a lemon. Stir this into a paste and put this onto the shin where it is needed. Let it sit for twenty minutes and then rinse it off. After doing this everyday your skin will begin to look lovely in a few days and the Acne will be gone in two or three weeks.

10. A lot of people grow the Aloe Vera plant in their house. The juice that oozes out of the leaves, this can be rubbed onto pimples, sores and burns. It is very soothing to all three of these and it will cause them all to heal and be gone in a few days.

11. Another mixture that can be used for pimples and most houses have this is to mix one teaspoon of powdered Nutmeg to one teaspoon of Honey. Rub this mixture on your pimples and let it sit for 20 minutes. Then rinse it off. A few drops of real lemon juice could be added also to this mixture.

12. This mixture can also be used as a face wash. It will get rid of pimples and other sores causing them to heal up so much faster. Mix one teaspoon of Epsom Salt and 3 drops of Iodine to a half cup of water. Boil this solution and after it has cooled dip a cotton ball into it and clean out all the pores on your face.

      My son had a bad case of Acne and while visiting the Chiropractor getting an adjustment, the Chiropractor told him to take Cayenne Pepper in capsules, 500 mg. He was to take one after lunch and a second one after supper. He followed the instructions and in 6 weeks his Acne was gone. This is the number Remedy in getting rid of stomach ulcers.

      Also in helping me to clear up my Acne my Mom bought some cleaning lotions from a company called " Fashion-Two-Twenty " who's home office was in Ohio only about 30 miles from where we lived. This was very helpful in removing the oils off the face and it helped to control the Acne. Other lotions and salves can be bought at the store that were made for getting rid of Acne. The store manager will help you into finding the right one that will help you with your Acne problems, and most of these salves will do a fairly good job. If you are not happy with one of them then try another one. There are many to pick from for controlling Acne. You could even try a bottle of Organic Vinegar. This is great for Acne also.

      If you are suffering from Acne, do not fear. There is plenty of help and lots of Remedies. I do believe that the best one is to change your diet and stay away from the sugars, the oily and greasy foods, the cheese and peanut butter and leave all that yummy chocolate alone until that Acne is gone. I mean really Gone!!!!
