                                    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.
