Tithing Recipes

[Glendora Christianson]

A good Christian homemaker needs to help her family meet it's tithing obligatons and still put food on the table. For that reason, Tithing Recipes have become our Lord's favorite recipes for good Christians. On this thread, we will post recipes that put food on the table for less than a dollar (I'm talking green-back US dollars here, so do your own conversion if you're so unfortunate to live elsewhere)

Anyway, I'll start with Mother Glynndie's Hoe Cakes, and you all can add your favorites.


Mother Glendora's Hoe Cakes

• 2 cups corn meal
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups boiling water
• oil for frying

Put the tea kettle on to boil. In a large bowl combine the corn meal and salt. Pour the boiling water over the cornmeal and stir it up. The cornmeal will swell up, absorbing the water, and making a very thick mash.
Heat some oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. You can use as little as two tablespoon of oil per panful, but it is a little easier to use 4 or 5 tablespoons of oil for each panful. Now scoop up a little of the cornmeal mush (about 1/4-cup) and shape it into a patty. It will still be warm from the boiling water, so be careful not to burn yourself. Plop the patty into the hot fat, and get it to frying. Make some more, until you have a whole pan full. I usually cook about 4 or 5 at a time. When the underside is crispy brown, turn them and cook the other side. When both sides are crispy and brown, transfer them to a plate to keep warm, and start another batch. This recipe makes about 12 hoe cakes and can feed your family for less than a dollar.

Rice surprise

Boil a pot of water. Add rice. Simmer for roughly ten minutes. Sieve. Serve. If you wish to go all out, you may wish to consider adding soy sauce or a similar condiment, but remember - every penny you spend on soy sauce goes directly to heathen orientals, and when it should be going to JESUS!

Personally, I don't cook.
I employ a Housemaid and Cook to do all thos menial tasks.

However, I found the following scratched out on a piece of paper which must have been left behind after my last Cook disappeared in mysterious circumstances.

Quite frankly, I didn't even realise Messicans could read. I certainly didn't realise she had been allowed to own a Pencil!!

WET BOTTOM SHOO FLY PIE

2 cups flour
Blend into crumbs w/1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup Crisco, 1/2 tsp. salt

Bottled Water

Now you can be like the unsaved blue-state yuppies* who spend ridiculous amounts of money on bottled water to avoid drinking what comes out of the tap. Just capture rain in a pot and pour it into bottles. Think of all of the money that you'll save relative to buying gourmet designer bottled water. It's especially good once the water company has cut you off for tithing the money that unsaved secularists think you should have used to pay the water bill.

*except for the parts about being unsaved and living in a blue state

This reminds me of hot dog or hard boiled egg soup.

Use only one hotdog or hard boiled egg to remain in the under $1.

Personally I've been eating a lot of beans recently.

Not the fancy Goya beans

But the less expensive generic version of the same.

Also, the word goya just makes me think of joos for some reason.

2 Samuel 17:28 Brought beds, and basons, and earthen vessels, and wheat, and barley, and flour, and parched corn, and beans, and lentiles, and parched pulse,

29 And honey, and butter, and sheep, and cheese of kine, for David, and for the people that were with him, to eat: for they said, The people is hungry, and weary, and thirsty, in the wilderness.

FYI, one can of beans is more than 3.5 servings, and normally costs less than 50 cents. I can feed myself for a week for right around $10, praise Jesus! That's just that much more love offering money, for our Lord and Personal Saviour (r).

Snickerdoodles & Thanks Talitha

WET BOTTOM SHOO FLY PIE

1 cup water
1 tsp. baking soda

Thanks for that delightful sounding recipe, sister Talitha. I will try it. And don't feel bad about having hired help in your home. Our Lord Jesus Christ knows how much "bizzier" rich folks are and you are HIS favorites, so just enjoy. Here's that Snickerdoodle recipe you've all been trying to get. And yes, it can be made for less than a dollar as long as you purchase your ingredients in large quantities (50lb flour)(25lb sugar)(flats of eggs).

Mother Glendora's Snickerdoodles

• 1/2 cup margarine (1 stick)
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 medium egg
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1-2/3 cups flour
• 2 tablespoons white sugar mixed with 1-1/2 teaspoons cinnamon

In a large bowl mash together the margarine and sugar. Add the egg and beat until everything is creamy. Add the baking powder, salt and flour. Stir it up until you have a nice thick dough. In a cereal bowl, combine the cinnamon and 2 tablespoons sugar.
Shape the dough into balls the size of a walnut. Roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Place the coated balls on an oiled cookie sheet. Using the bottom of a smooth cup or glass, press the dough down to flatten the cookies slightly. Bake them at 375F° for 10 minutes.

Mother Glendora, you're the greatest example of an honest christian wife. Good looks and good cooks...

Could you, by any chance, send me some of those wonderful hoe cakes?

They probably wouldn't taste too good as they are best when still warm. By the way, the name Hoe Cakes came from the first American settlers, who got the recipe from the injuns (after killing them, of course) and used to cook the Hoe Cakes over an open fire on the blades of their hoes. Of course, if the hoes were covered with injun blood and gore, they would leave em on the fire a few minutes before cooking with them.

Why Sister Glendora, I do believe my Wet Bottom Shoo Fly Pie originally came from that very same era.
Those pesky Injun Terrorists must have traded cooking secrets with the Messicans.
I'm not sure where the Molesasses came from so I guess they made-do.

Thanks for your concern regarding my having to get in hired help. Luckily I have good security around me and no Negra would ever get far if they tried their Pie-thieving ways at my home.
