BIRDIE'S KUHLUA

3 cups sugar
2 oz Folger's instant coffee (2/3 cups)
2 cups boiling water
1 quart Vodka
1 vanilla bean (chopped) OR 4 tsp pure vanilla

Mix sugar and coffee/dry. Add boiling water and stir until dissolved. Add Vodka and vanilla if using extract and pour into bottle. If using vanilla bean, cut up and throw in bottle. It's a lot better to use vanilla bean and age 30 days. Use vanilla extract if you have to use right away.

This is my sister's recipe and boy is it good! You have to try it! But, just a note of caution: I wouldn't advise testing this out before dinner is ready - dinner may be slightly delayed. LOL


DIET MILK SHAKE

Oh the things we find in our box of recipes! And the memories! My dear mother found this for me when I was pregnant with my 1st child (38 yrs ago). I was trying to keep from gaining so much weight and she found this and gave it to me. Well, I took it to my doctors and he gave his ok to use for a week or two. Now I don't remember if I actually did it but here it is - maybe it will help someone - sorta like a Slim Fast type of drink. Heck, maybe I will give it a try myself now ...

1/2 cup of chocolate-flavored malted drink mix (vitamin-mineral-fortified type)
2 1/4 cups instant non-fat dry milk*
*(If the package suggests 3 tbsp to 1 cup water, use only 1 1/4 cups of non-fat dry milk in this recipe)
4 tsp salad oil (Wesson or Mazola)
1 qt ice cold water (the coldness is essential to the flavor)

With a spoon, thoroughly combine the vitamin-mineral-fortified malted drink mix, the non-fat dry milk and the salad oil. Pour the ice cold water in a mixing bowl, sprinkle dry mixture on surface of water. Stir to blend or whip with electric or rotary beater or blender until frothy. If the mixture is polka-dotted with brown flecks, it doesn't matter. Keep chilled. Mixture may separate. Always shake before using. Makes 1 quart.

Daily amount: 1 qt liquid diet plus 1 small orange sliced or in sections equals about 1,000 calories (important for Vitamin C)

Suggestions:
1. This diet is quite portable. Put 3/4 cup dry mixture in waxed paper, clear plastic or foil. Put into a regular envelope and carry in pocket or purse. All that is needed is a cup of ice water from a fountain or your hostess' refrigerator to make up a "meal."

2. To provide a solid side to the diet, use iced celery stalks (preferably without salt) including the leaves, cucumber or green pepper slices, radishes, young green onions, thin slices of carrot and crisp lettuce leaves. These may be taken with a dash of lemon juice or venegar or diet dressing (mineral oil and vinegar).

3. Take this diet exclusively for 2 weeks (average wt loss 2 1/2 /wk), then taper off by substituting it for only one or two meals a day.

4. Between "meals" as well as with "meals", you may have as much black coffee as desired, plain tea or bouillion.
