Petrified Wood

Saw this today and thought it might be handy for something sometime in the future, so I'm making a note. It came from a farm know-how page

Mix equal parts of gem salt, rock alum, white vinegar, chalk and Peebles' powder. After the mixture becomes quiet, put into it any wood or porous substance, and the latter becomes like stone.

Google tells me Peebles' Powder is powdered skim milk.

Moms Chicken Chulupas

I love these, but I'm sure my nutritionist would not.

12 tortillas
4 chicken breasts
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1 pint sour cream
1 can chilis
4 green onions
1 sm can olives
1 lb jack cheese
1 lb cheddar cheese


cube and brown the chicken

mix the soup, chili's, onions, sour cream, olives and most of the cheese. Set two cups aside and mix in the chicken. Spoon into tortillas and roll up and place burrito style in a glass baking pan. Add the broth to the two cups of the mix you set aside and pour over the tortillas. Top with the remaining cheese and bake at 350 debrees for 50 minutes.
