Spread in a 2-3 quart pan. Top with nuts. Sprinkle 1/4 cup brown sugar, then 1/4 cup melted butter. Place Marshmallows on top. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes. Don't let marshmallows over cook.

HOME-STYLE SCALLOPED POTATOES:

5 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
1-1/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
5 cups milk
6 cups potatoes, peeled, thinly sliced

Place layer of potatoes and onions in a greased 3-qt. baking dish. Pour sauce over potatoes. Repeat layers. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 60-70 minutes or until potatoes are tender and top is lightly browned.

OLGA's CORN FRITTERS:

Answer 2

Black Bean Salad

Ingredients:

3 cups dried black beans, soaked and cooked
3-4 ears corn, cooked and cut off the cob
1-3 bell peppers, preferably yellow or red
juice and grated rind of 1 orange
balsamic vinegar
herbs and/or spices

Directions:

Mix everything together, and let sit for flavors to mix. This time I seasoned it with finely chopped fresh ginger and fresh thyme; other times I've used rosemary and thyme (because that's what I had fresh); there are probably dozens of tasty combinations. I have only the vaguest idea of how much balsamic vinegar I used, since I didn't measure it; it was at least 1/4 cup but probably more; I just went by taste.

I served it as a salad (it makes lots; I've been using this all year as a potluck dish) but it is also good heated and served over rice (that's what I did with the leftovers).
