Charitable Donations and The Cares Act

 

There have been several questions realted to The Federal CARES ACT. Mrs Hall, HUCH Board member, did some research and found that The Federal CARES ACT will allow contributions to any Non-Profit 501 such as Friends of the Historic Union Community Hall even if you are not itemizing deductions.

Therefore, with a receipt from the organization, up to $300 can be used as a deduction on your taxable income.

If you would like to contribute to The Freinds of The Hsitoric Union Community Hall or if you did not recieve a receipt from a previous donation, please contact us at HistoricUnionCommnutyHall@ gmail.com. This must be completed by 12/31/2020.

Sift one cup flour, one teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water.

This is a good recipie for any fruit that isn't pre-sweetened

BURNT SUGAR CAKE

From the recipe of Ruth Mitchell (in her own words) 

Put 2/3 cup sugar in a pan and heat to liquid.  Add 1/2 cup boiling water and bring back to a boil, stirring  (be careful that stuff sure splatters and am mighty hot).

Cream 1/1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup shortening, 3 Tsp. burnt sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla.

Add 2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon soda, sifted well

Beat 3 egg whites and fold in. 

Bake in layers or loaf at 350 degrees. 

Lots of peoepl have tried to duplicate this cake, and very few of them succeeded.  Mom said usin an iron skillet for the burnt suger made all the difference.... Lenora Clark

NOTE TO EDITOR:  I copies this from her hand writing.  I think the captial T on the burnt sugar quantity means Tablespoon, but Im' not positive.  LC

DRUNK CHICKEN 

Submitted by Lenora Mitchell Clark

Preheat oven to BROIL. Place chicken parts in baking pan. 

Sprinkle with 1 envelop Lipton Onion soup Mix ( or substitue beef bouliion, poultry seasoning & minced onions).

Place under broiler just until soup mix blackens.

Remove, turn oven to BAKE 350 degrees. 

Drizzle chicken with one-half to two-thirds cup sherry ( the alcohol will cook off). 

Cover pan with foil.  Put in oven for about 55 minutes.

Save the broth.....it makes wonderful gravey; just trim the fat before reiferating. 

NOTE: The Chicken will be very light near the bone, but it IS done.  I prefer serving it with noodles or fried rice.
