Alfredo Sauce

I have a really good recipe for Alfredo sauce pass onto to me by a good friend.

6 tbs butter
6 tbs flour
3 c milk, warmed
7 oz shredded mozzarella
1/2 c shredded parmesan or romano cheese

Melt butter. Then slowly add flour to butter stirring constantly. While doing that heat the 3 cups of milk in the microwave until hot - about 3 minutes. Then slowly add little bits of the milk to the flour/butter mixture and mix well. Then slowly add cheese and stir constantly. Add garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste. This is very good with shrimp and chicken.

I have made this Alfredo sauce several times for squadron lunches. However the above recipe is pretty time consuming. I found this other recipe that is pretty yummy as well but less time consuming.

1 pint of heavy cream
1/2 c butter
1 1/2 c shredded parmesan cheese

Mix all three ingredients and bring almost to a boil stirring constantly in order to blend the cheese. Then turn on low or place in a crock pot.

Russian Tea

A must in the Wright family household for Christmas!

12 oz can of frozen orange juice ( I use no pulp)
6 oz can of frozen lemonade
small can of pineapple juice
2 family size tea bags or 4 regular size bags
water ( as much or as little as you like)
handful of cloves
1 cinnamon stick
1 to 1 1/4 c sugar

Brew your tea bag with the cloves and cinnamon in a pot. In another large pot, mix and heat frozen OJ and lemonade and pineapple juice. Add brewed tea to the large pot without the cloves and cinnamon stick. Add sugar and water. This part is trial and error really. You can add lots of water to weaken it or vice versa. And you can little or a lot of sugar depending on how sweet you would like it. Simmer and serve hot. Can be served in a crock pot. Refrigerate leftovers. Makes a lot!
