• Heat the vegetable oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook, until the onions are golden, 6 to 7 minutes. Stir in the ketchup, 1 cup water, the vinegar, brown sugar, steak sauce, Worcestershire sauce, molasses, mustard, celery seed and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the onions are tender, about 15 minutes. Stir in the liquid smoke, if using.

Steps:

• Place chicken, onion, celery and salt in a large pot. Add enough water to completely cover the chicken. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until chicken is tender and cooked through, about 1 hour.
• Remove chicken from broth and cool enough to handle. Pick chicken off the bones and discard bones.
• Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.
• Remove celery and onion from broth. Measure broth and return 3 cups to the pot.
• In a small bowl, blend 1/4 cup flour with 1/4 cup water to make a smooth paste. Stir into hot broth. Cook 5 to 10 minutes or until broth is thickened. Season with salt and pepper. Pour over chicken.
• For Pastry:.
• In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour and 1 teaspoon salt.
• Cut in shortening with a pastry blender or two knives until mixture forms coarse crumbs.
• Sprinkle with cold water and mix until dough hold together and will form a ball.
• Roll out on a floured board or pastry cloth to about 1/4 inch thickness.
• Cut into strips and place over the chicken. Bake at 375 degrees F until the pastry is golden brown.

BREAKFAST APPLES

Steps:

• Peel and thinly slice apples. Combine apples, sugar, one tablespoon flour, cinnamon, and salt and place in a WELL greased casserole dish. (I used a rectangular pan.) Mix oats, brown sugar, flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Sprinkle over apple mixture. Pour butter over all. Bake at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes. Some of the mixture didn't get butter on it, so I used a fork and gently pressed the mixture and butter together.
