• Today in History - 1963

    From Dave Drum@1:229/452 to All on Mon Aug 28 05:28:06 2023
    28 August 1963 - DR. KING DELIVERS A SPEECH OF DREAMS IN WASHINGTON, DC: Standing in front of the Lincoln Memorial, his voice ringing out to some 250,000 listeners, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. delivers a stirring
    speech that will galvanize the civil rights movement and be heralded as
    one of the greatest orations in American history.

    Around the halfway point of the speech, Mahalia Jackson implored him to
    "Tell 'em about the 'Dream,' Martin." Whether or not King consciously
    heard, he soon moved away from his prepared text.

    Repeating the mantra, "I have a dream," he offered up hope that "my four
    little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be
    judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character"
    and the desire to "transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood."

    "And when this happens," he bellowed in his closing remarks, "and when
    we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every
    hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up
    that day when all of God's children, Black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing
    in the words of the old Negro spiritual: ‘Free at last! Free at last!
    Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!'"

    Title: Dreamsicle Potato Bake
    Categories: Potatoes, Cheese, Vegetables, Dairy
    Yield: 4 Servings *

    1 lb Baking Potato
    1 lb Sweet Potato
    1 tb Finely chopped onion
    4 oz Whipped cream cheese;
    - divided
    1/2 c Sour cream; divided
    1/4 c Grated Parmesan Cheese
    1/4 c Shredded cheddar cheese

    MMMMM--------------------------TOPPING-------------------------------
    1/3 c Parmesan Cheese
    1/4 c Cheddar cheese

    Finely dice onion and mix with the cream cheese. Set aside
    so flavor of onion can blend with the cream cheese.

    Peel and dice potatoes and place each type in a separate
    saucepan - simmer until soft. Test for doneness with sharp
    knife. Drain well, place each type of potato back in its
    own hot pan to let the potatoes dry out a bit more. Heat
    under pan is not on, just the general heat retained in the
    saucepan.

    Add half each of the cream cheese and the sour cream to
    each pan. Mash with potato masher or mixer until smooth
    making sure not to mix one color potato into the other
    color.

    Stir the 1/4 cup parmesan cheese into the white potatoes.
    Stir the 1/4 cup cheddar cheese into the sweet potatoes.
    Mix well.

    Using a 1 1/2 quart casserole dish, Alternately layer half
    of the sweet potato and then half of the white potato.
    Ending with the white potato.

    If baking right away, sprinkle topping cheeses on top of
    potatoes and place in preheated 350øF/175øC oven for 20
    minutes or until heated through and cheese has melted.

    If made ahead and refrigerated - add cheese toppings just
    before you place the casserole in the preheated oven. Bake
    for 30 minutes or until heated through and topping cheese
    has melted.

    NOTE: The orange and white layers show off really well if
    baked in a clear glass baking pan.

    * UDD Notes: Doubles nicely. Can substitute Onion & Sour
    Cream dip for the mixing onion with the cream cheese. A
    potato "ricer" is a great help in preparation. Asiago
    may be substituted for the Parmesan - but, it will give
    a somewhat "sweeter" end result. A Pyrex bread loaf
    baking dish works a treat for "show-off".
