    Thanks.  The receipts I looked at were saying meat grinder with the smallest plate, not a coffee mill.

     

    I think I'll go with one that doesn't call for grinding:

    250 gr. poppy

    350 gr. Milk

    120 gr. Sugar 

    25 gr. Butter

    50 gr. Milk

    15 gr. Corn starch

     

    Combine poppy seeds, milk (350 g) and sugar in a saucepan, cook over medium heat until the poppy seeds swell and the maximum amount of liquid has evaporated.  Add butter and milk/starch slurry. This may take 15-20 minutes.

     

     

    I finally got around to making this.  I have a little hand grinder for coffee beans, pain in the butt to use for coffee.  But I was able to dial the cone in closer so the poppy seeds didn't fall through.  It will only hold about an ounce or so of poppy seeds at a time. Got through the first little bit then made my intelligence roll and removed the removable handle and used my cordless drill on it.  Took me about 2o minutes to grind the half pound, part of that time was allowing the mill to cool off because I went too fast and the seeds packed up the little grooves in the burr.  Anyway...
    It took a total of about 25 minutes to get it cooked down from when I got out the pot to when I poured the last of it into a storage container.   Tastes pretty good.  Not as sweet as the commercial stuff.  

    I'll make some crescent rolls (store bought dough) tomorrow morning with this spread on it before rolling them up.

    Russian cooks with an English language sign.  There is a common perception that if it is not Russian it is better.

     

    I've noticed that before.  Russians, as a culture, have an odd relationship with Western Europe (and the rest of the world), a feeling that everyone else is more advanced, especially Germans, but also a bravado of "We are better than everyone else!" An interesting mix of xenophobia, paranoia, and self-superiority.

    took a disposable paper bowl (paper plates are rapidly becoming my favorite kitchenware), smeared butter on bottom & sides.

    Crack in two eggs, add salt, pepper, a splash of milk, spin up with fork.

    Microwave 1 min 30 sec

     

    Thanks!   I would never have thought of cooking in a paper bowl.

    Do you know the nine rules for the Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner cartoons?
    .
    1. THE ROAD RUNNER CANNOT HARM THE COYOTE EXCEPT BY GOING “BEEP BEEP!”
    .
    2. NO OUTSIDE FORCE CAN HARM THE COYOTE—ONLY HIS OWN INEPTITUDE OR THE FAILURE OF THE ACME PRODUCTS.
    .
    3. THE COYOTE COULD STOP ANYTIME—IF HE WERE NOT A FANATIC. (REPEAT: “A FANATIC IS ONE WHO REDOUBLES HIS EFFORT WHEN HE HAS FORGOTTEN HIS AIM.”—GEORGE SANTAYANA
    .
    4. NO DIALOGUE EVER, EXCEPT “BEEP BEEP!”
    .
    5. THE ROAD RUNNER MUST STAY ON THE ROAD—OTHERWISE, LOGICALLY, HE WOULD NOT BE CALLED ROAD RUNNER.
    .
    6. ALL ACTION MUST BE CONFINED TO THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT OF THE TWO CHARACTERS—THE SOUTHWEST AMERICAN DESERT.
    .
    7. ALL MATERIALS, TOOLS, WEAPONS, OR MECHANICAL CONVENIENCES MUST BE OBTAINED FROM THE ACME CORPORATION.
    .
    8. WHENEVER POSSIBLE, MAKE GRAVITY THE COYOTE’S GREATEST ENEMY.
    .
    9. THE COYOTE IS ALWAYS MORE HUMILIATED THAN HARMED BY HIS FAILURES.

    Roasted Pumpkin Stuffed with Whole Chicken

    ingredients:

     

    1 medium-sized pumpkin

    1 whole chicken (approximately 3 pounds)

    4 garlic cloves

    4 teaspoons of salt

     ½ cup of olive oil

    Fragrant herbs such as rosemary, thyme, and oregano

    1 whole orange (for juice)

    Orange slices for garnish

    Green beans for stuffing (you can use any type of vegetables you prefer)

     

     

    Instructions:

    1. Start by cleaning the pumpkin thoroughly, removing the seeds and scraping out the fibers.

    2. In a food processor, combine the fragrant herbs, salt, orange juice, and olive oil. Blend them together until well mixed.

    3. Use this mixture to coat the inside of the pumpkin and also the inside of the chicken.

    4. Layer orange slices and green beans at the bottom of the chicken.

    5. Place the chicken inside the pumpkin and pour the remaining mixture over the top. Add orange slices on top and brush the outside of the pumpkin with a little oil.

    6. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and place the pumpkin on the middle rack. It will take approximately 2 to 2.5 hours to cook. You can check the doneness by opening the oven occasionally.
