Its really going to happen

The stupid house is actually going to be finished soon!! We have banished resident evil and it is going to go on the market as soon as the bathroom is finished. The pictures of the process are at http://www.flickr.com/photos/rhodesihouse/.

Since moving back to PA is actually becoming a reality, I thought it was only appropriate to rediscover my PA roots. Nothing says home to me more than scrapple, so we are kicking off the New Year with some homemade scrapple. I have to make changes to the Mennonite Community Cookbook recipe cause I just dont think I eat liver pudding anymore. So with the substitution of chicken sausage for the liver pudding and chicken broth for the liver broth, I am going to give it a try.
I am going to start making all kinds of homey foods in variations for the non pork, non beef diet that we eat.

Chicken Scrapple
1 1/2 c. chicken sausage
3 qts. chicken broth
1 c corm meal
3 c wheat flour
salt and pepper

Boil broth in a double boiler, add flour and corn meal, bring down temperature and add sausage. Cook slowly for 30 min on double boiler, stirring occasionally. Pour into cake pan and cool. After it is cooled it is ready to be fried up.

This is a variation of Mrs. Frank Gehman of Adamstown, PA and Mrs. Henry Bechtel of Spring City, PA. published in Mennonite Community Cookbook by Mary Emma Showalter.
