Adding Eggs to Custard or Pudding
How do I add eggs to a custard, banana pudding, cooked pasta dressing, etc. without them "cooking". I know there is a way I heard a long time ago about either when to add them or blending them?
Thanks for any help offered!

I am looking for a Boston Brown Bread recipe. My mom use to make one that she baked in tin cans. We loved it. It is a a moist bread and great with butter or cream cheese spread on it.

Chuck Roast
Brown roast in pan on both sides, until brown. While it's browning, boil 1 coffee pot full of water (in coffee pot). When roast is brown, leave in same pan you browned it in, pour hot water over it. Add 2 packs of Lipton Onion soup mix, add 1 onion chopped, salt and pepper, garlic, seasoned salt. Put lid or foil over pan, put in oven for 2 hours (350 degrees F) or until tender. 30 minutes before roast is done, add peeled potatoes around roast. Take out of oven and enjoy! Best roast EVER!

Stuffed Jalapenos
I saw a lady at the grocery store going through the jalapenos and buying a large bagful. I had to ask what she had in mind.
She removes the seeds and veins, by making a slit on the side, stuffs with cream cheese (non-fat is OK), wraps a piece of bacon or turkey bacon around it, secures with a toothpick and cooks for approximately 45 minutes on the BBQ grill. When the cheese starts oozing out and the jalapeno skins looked cooked, they are done.
Turkey bacon takes longer to cook than regular bacon because of the fat content. I have not prepared these, but the recipe sounds interesting.
