Howdy ZFR,

Here's some to start - haven't tried them myself, so no promises as to taste :D

MONKEY BALLS (makes ~40)
A) 1/2 c. peanut butter
1/3 c. honey
1/2 c. granola
1/2 c. crushed 'cheery' cereal
dash nutmeg
dash cinnamon
1/2 c. oatmeal

B) 1 c. sugar
1/4 c. cocoa
1/4 c. butter
1/4 c. milk
1/4 tsp. vanilla

INSTRUCTIONS:
Mix ingredients in (A), except oatmeal. Roll into small balls about
the diameter of a coin. Coat balls in oatmeal.
Boil ingredients in (B) together for 3-1/2 to 4 minutes. Take from
heat. Dip balls in chocolate using spoon or toothpick. Chill and
serve.

Monkey balls are to be served with the following poem on prominent
display:
"Monkey Balls"
These sweet and gracious monkey balls,
Served on plates and sold from stalls,
Bring madness to these hallowed halls
Of urban academe.

Huzzaks for chocolate monkey balls!
We'll eat them 'til the ceiling falls,
'Til Time, herself, tears down these walls
Of urban academe.

So buy yourself a monkey ball,
Savour it and then stand tall,
A bulwark 'gainst the deaf'ning call
Of urban academe.
-by Ergo the organ-grinder

1 small cabbage, shredded
1 large onion, sliced
1 garlic clove, minced

1) Pour the broth and the water into a large pot. Add all the vegetables

Baldur's Delight:
Sweet treats from the fabled kitchen of Mother Baldur.

5 Tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 cup chilled water
1/2 cup hot water
1/2 cup orange juice
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon lemon juice (or an exotic, such as rosewater)
2 cups of nuts (again, as exotic as you like)
A portion of powdered sugar or some other topical candy sprinkle.

Mix the cornstarch thoroughly with the cold water and set to the side.
Blend the hot water, Orange Juice and sugar together, bringing the mixture to a boil.
To this, add the cornstarch and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring often.

Remove from heat, stir in the nuts and add the lemon juice or your alternate flavoring.
Pour the entire mixture into a buttered or greased pan and chill.

When set, cut sections of about an inch and roll in the powdered sugar or sprinkles to prevent it sticking.

Enjoy.

A cookie to reinforce the fortitude, from the kitchen of a particularly shaggy friend:

Ruby Racks:

1 Cup of Dry Oatmeal
2 Cups of Flour
1/4 Pound of Butter
2 Eggs
1/2 Cup of Cocoa
1/2 Cup of Sugar
1 Tablespoon Vanilla
1 Teaspoon Walnut Extract

While oven preheats to 350, combine all ingredients in a large bowl, adding a small amount of milk if the mixture is too dry to properly blend. Add extra sugar if the batter is not to your liking at this point. Roll into balls and press on a greased pan. Bake for 10-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of your portions and your personal preference for consistency.

Jinkies, they're good!
