OUT OF THE WORLD RECIPES

Many years ago the St. Louis UFO Study Group published a cookbook called the Galactic Gourmet to raise money for their group. They asked for UFO researchers to submit recipes with a cosmic name. Of course we applied a name to our recipe. Some of the recipes were from well known persons, such as Allen Benz, Barbara Becker, Mildred Biesele, and myself. I thought it would be fun to share a couple of those recipes with you. You might even like them!
In the front of the book is a form to fill out and send in to the St. Louis UFO Study Group if you had a sighting or an abduction. There is also a page on different forms of UFOs. Interesting pages in a cook book!

2 Tbsp oil

2 cup commercial sour cream

6 crushed ginger snaps

1. Mix onion, egg, salt and pepper into ground meat. Blend thoroughly.

3. Remove skillet from heat. Remove meat balls. Add sour cream to skillet and heat. Mix, scraping pan jucies, and blend. Heat thoroughly but do not boil. Sprinkle meat balls with ginger snaps.
4. Place in serving bowl. Pour sauce over all, and serve.

Serve with cooked well-buttered noodles, your favorite greens and rolls.
