‘I have a great tri-tip marinade for Robert R. Heacox of Camano Island,” Everett cook Nancy Thurmond writes. “It’s not a barbecue sauce, but it’s delicious! Simple, but, oh, so good!!”
Let’s not wait a single second to try her:
Tri-tip marinade
1/2cup ketchup
1/2cup soy sauce
1/2cup sugar
1/4cup wine
1teaspoon salt
Generous amount minced fresh garlic
Tri-tip roast or steaks
In small mixing bowl, combine the ketchup, soy sauce, sugar, wine, salt and plenty of garlic, mixing thoroughly. Put a tri-tip roast or steaks in a self-sealing, heavy-duty plastic bag, add marinade, seal and let marinate in the refrigerator all day. When ready to cook, remove roast or steaks from marinade and grill as desired.
SOS: For some reason or other (maybe it’s the nature of the beast?), a lot of recipes for macaroni and cheese turn out stiff and starchy tasting. No wonder LDW of Arlington is hoping Forum cooks can share a recipe for “creamy” mac and cheese. She says she’ll really appreciate it, because she needs to make a batch for a friend.
SOS: Snohomish reader Carolyn Redd will love it if readers can share recipes calling for “those little red huckleberries.”
SOS: Verline Swanson of Sultan tells us, “I have enjoyed your Forum column and taken some recipes from it. Now I’m asking – does anyone have a recipe for a molasses cookie like the type Starbucks serves? I would really like to have one.”
SOS: Edmonds cook Theora H. Conger hopes someone can replace her missing copy of a favorite recipe for dinner rolls made with instant potatoes. “It was the best recipe I’ve ever had,” she says, ending with, “Thank you and all who contribute to the Forum for the great recipes and interesting ideas each week.”
SOS: A recipe for marionberry scones will put a smile on the face of Arlington reader Ruth Munizza. She ate some of these at a restaurant on the Oregon Coast a while back, and now is eager to duplicate them in her own kitchen.
