This is the last elephant in this particular jungle

Continuing with the lost family's favorite recipes Tarzan claims everyone would love ALLIGATOR SUPREME. He says, "The chewing is so beneficial to the teeth and gums." Now, you know he never said such a thing. This character can barely grunt out more than three words in succession. Nevertheless, he did make it quite clear that the above mentioned recipe is for the more advanced cook; one who can wrestle. His actual words were,"Go slow. Carry big stick."
Now here is a goodie.
BOY'S CHOICE CROCODILES PILES
1/2 cu. shortening
1 tsp ginger
1cu molasses
!/2 tsp soda
3 Tbls baking powder
1 egg
1/4 cu sour milk
1cu raisins
1/2 cu sugar
1 tsp salt
3 cu flour
Cream shortening and sugar. Beat egg and add it too. Then add molasses, mixing well. sift flor, soda baking powder, ginger and salt. Add to creamed mixture alternately with sour milk. Add raisins. Drop by teaspoonfuls on greased baking sheet. BAke at 400 deg. about 10 minutes. Yields 7 1/2 piles...er...dozen.
From the title of that last recipe you may guess what Boy thought these cookies were the first time Jane told him what they were called as she handed him one of the little hummers. It showed he had inherited at least one of his father's traits when he accepted it without an argument. They really are very good. Even Cheetah likes them. Now that we think about it that isn't much of a recommendation, he also enjoys munching on beetles.
Grit your teeth there are only a couple more of these unique offerings to endure
You can't say they haven't been ...different shall we say?
