Mrs Roberts Cookbook

  

  Mrs. Roberts has the title of housekeeper at Touchstone Acres Farm. Liz Stone and the rest of the family there know she's much more than that.  She is the mother figure who takes care of them all.  She lives in the little stone cottage with her son Clinton. Sophie Tenassis rents the matching cottage next door. Emma Stone, aka Granny, lives in her own little stone house at the end of the driveway. Most mornings they all gather in the big kitchen located in the main house for breakfast.

     Mrs. Roberts gets up early every morning and walks past the duck pond and up to the main house to start breakfast. Liz and her daughter Rosie are awakened each morning to the smell of fresh coffee and scrumptious pastries. Her cinnamon rolls are to die for.

     Here are her recipies.

Mrs. Roberts Fried Chicken

Directions

     In a medium size bowl, beat the eggs with the water. In another bowl, combine the flour and pepper. Season the chicken with the secret ingredients. (shhh don't tell)

     Dip the seasoned chicken in the egg, and then coat well in the flour mixture.

Heat the oil to 350 degrees F in a deep pot. Do not fill the pot more than 1/2 full with oil.

     Fry the chicken in the oil until brown and crisp. Dark meat takes longer then white meat. It should take dark meat -12 to 15 minutes, white meat - 9 to 10 minutes.

Potato Salad

Directions

Cover potatoes with water in 4-quart saucepot; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and cool slightly.

Combine Hellmann's Light Mayonnaise, vinegar, salt, sugar and pepper in large bowl. Add potatoes, celery, onion and eggs and toss gently. Sprinkle paprika on top. Serve chilled.
