This is called Sirniki, it's an wonderful appetizer or healthy snack.First you combine 3c. dry curd cottage cheese, 2 eggs, 2Tbsp yogurt or sour cream, 2/3 c. flour and a healthy pinch of salt in a medium sized bowl. Heat a pan with 2Tbsp butter or 1Tbsp butter and 1Tbsp olive oil over med. heat. Shape into ball( golf ball size), roll in additional flour in a separate bowl( see to the left in the above picture), now flatten in your hands to between 1/4" and 1/2" thickness.
(Continue below)
Cook until lightly browned, flip and repeat. 
These are good alone or dipped in ranch dressing,sour cream, salsa etc... They taste a bit like fried mozzarella sticks. We've also added Parmesan cheese( to your taste) as well as 1/4c.grated sharp cheddar, to the mix for variations. This recipe is found in the 9th edition of Carla Emery's, The Encyclopedia of Country Living pg. 749
Our mill in action today doing tomatoes. Cortney is the mill operator today.
Sauce down the shoot into the bowl and seeds and skins on the plate, it's that simple.
The bowl of tomatoes netted us the saucepan about 3/4 full today, chili sauce here we come!

Gosh, that looks so good; wish I had some right now...I'm hungry -smile-.
Kelle,
Tell Cortney I apologize for misspelling her name in my comment on the previous post. I know that drives people crazy. I should have checked the spelling before I posted. I'm sorry *blushing*
Do you heat your tomatoes before running them through the mill? I always have, thinking that it would make them juice easier. If you don't have to, that would be a huge time saver.
I'm glad that the teacher was willing to work with Cortney and her class. It's nice to come across good hearted people isn't it? Kind of reaffirms our belief in people.
Our favorite tea for the past few years has been Orange Zinger. We drink others but make sure we always have some "zinger" on hand. Our temp. today was 82* so it will be awhile before we break out the tea pot.

That looks delicious! I have Carla's book, I need to go put a star on the recipe!
Are you still getting tomatoes?
~Faith

TCF,
It is yummy, and makes a quick snack.We just enjoy your pictures on your blog, they are inspiring. Thanks for stopping in, have a wonderful weekend!
Beth,
Nope, we simply quarter the round tomatoes, and half the romas and run through. Then being the frugal person I am I run the skins through again, just to get everything possible out, then the skins get fed to the chickens and turkeys( they love them!)
Don't worry about the mis-spelling it wasn't even noticed, it's not a big deal to us{{{HUGS}}}
Our hearts were so blessed that she was so nice and accomidating(sp?)
Oh! Oh! we like Orange Zinger too! My absolute favorite tea is, much like a dessert tea made by Celestial Seasonings and it's called English Toffee. Just add alittle honey and some table cream and it's like sipping on the real thing, Awwwh! Another good one made by them as well and it's good for warming you up quickly is, Bengal Spice( you'll probably only find this in a healthfood store though) It's got a kick to it!
Faith,
Something else I bet you didn't know about me He! He! Carla was a personal friend of mine, she and her Dh, Don, stayed here for several days while she put on seminars here and in WY. 5-6 yrs ago. I also worked very closely with her on the editing of her 25th anniversary; 10th and final edition of her book. This was almost a two year project and I was in charge of testing recipes from the Food Presevation, Sheep, Cows and Pigs and Herbs sections of the book. This was done online and I had several people who helped me test ALL the recipes and added and delete/ updated materials in the 9th edition.
It was a sad day when Carla passed away, but it happened quickly and that is what she'd have wanted. She was a very soft spoken lady, but a wealth of knowledge and very, very sincere. I think of her often and her 9th ed. book I have is literally falling apart from use and abuse.*wink*
See I am a woman of many secrets, LOL!!! Well, it's not a secret any longer.*wink*
SFG,
I STILL have items from Lehman's and other manual tool sources on my wish list*wink* This is most definately a GREAT tool and well worth the $$, it will last for generations if taken care of. I'll put a bug in your Dh's ear about what it is Santa should put in your stocking*wink*
Blessings for your weekend ladies.
Kelle,
Thanks for commenting on my blog. You mentioned about my turkeys flying. Our heritage birds fly all over but the meat turkeys (the broadbreasted whites) can fly maybe two feet high but they are already too big to get any heigher. They flap real hard but get nowhere! I'm afraid that by Thanksgiving they'll be 30 lbs.
Your food mill is great, I wanted one too but I found an attachment that goes on my kitchenaid that works but it doesn't hold as much as yours.
I love your pictures of the baskets full of apples and
tomatoes.
See ya, Beth
Beth,
Okay on reflecting back, our one white tom has a hard time even getting up onto the roost, he weighs 50+ lbs though. He is 6 yrs old and a HUGE pet( in more ways than one*wink*) The rest are heritage and they all fly good. Just shows when man gets involved, look waht happens.
Take care and thanks for the reminder.
ok...see. I keep finding these good recipes...I am totally making these.
Your posting has made my mouth water. Yummm!
Sunny :)
