Part of the secret of success in life is to eat what you like and let the food fight it out inside. |

Old people shouldn't eat health foods. They need all the preservatives they can get. |

"When treasures are recipes they are less clearly, less distinctly remembered than when they are tangible objects. They evoke however quite as vivid a feeling-that is, to some of use who, considering cooking an art, feel that a way of cooking can produce something that approaches an aesthetic emotion. What more can one say? If one had the choice of again hearing Pachmann play the two Chopin sonatas or dining once more at the Cafe Anglais, which would one choose?" |

The greatest delight the fields and woods minister is the suggestion of an occult relation between man and the vegetable. I am not alone and unacknowledged. They nod to me and I to them. |

“Another article of cuisine that offends the bowels of unused Britons is garlic. Not uncommonly in southern climes an egg with a shell on is the only procurable animal food without garlic in it. Flatulence and looseness are the frequent results.” |

Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, raisins, nuts, and candied
fruit together. Combine and beat slightly the banana and orange
juice; Set aside. Beat eggs into Wonderslim/prunes one at a time.
Alternately, add prune/egg mixture and banana/orange mixture to dry
ingredients mixed with fruits and nuts. A wooden "fork" works well
for the mixing. Pack into 9X5X3 loaf pan lightly sprayed with Pam and
lined with wax paper. Bake at 350o for 1 hr. or until done. Cool 20
min. before removing wax paper and turning out on a rack. Cool before
icing.
Icing: Mix powdered sugar into an egg white until smooth and easily
spreadable. You want a thin icing. If you get it too thick, add a
little skim milk. Dot icing with cut up candied (glace') cherries as
desired.
After frosting is firm, wrap in aluminum foil and refrigerate.
Improves with freezing.
Notes: I usually double or triple the recipe. Otherwise, you'll have
leftover icing (which is also good on cookies). You can divide the
dough out into smaller pans; makes nice gifts.
I have modified the original posted recipe for Homemade Wonderslim by
decreasing the lecithin:
3 c. water 1 12 oz. pk. prunes (cut-up type) 1 T. unbleached lecithin
1/4 tsp. citric acid
Cover prunes with water and bring to a boil. Cool. Blend prunes,
water, lecithin, and citric acid in blender until smooth. Pour in
clean quart jar and refrigerate. Keeps up to 30 days. I pour mine
into old jelly jars and freeze them. I use 1:1 amounts when
substituting for oleo in recipes.
