Q: I'm looking for a recipe that I enjoyed at a party not long ago. It had a crumb crust on the bottom, a cake-like middle, layers of mini marshmallows and peanut butter topped with whole peanuts. Crunchy peanut butter may have been used. Does anyone know this recipe? -- Sally Miller, Largo, Fla.

Q: I am looking for a recipe I had 30 years ago in Quebec. It's for unemployment pudding. It's a very sweet dessert made with flour, sugar and vinegar, and baked. -- Carol Deese, St. Petersburg, Fla.

Ludwig Blumberg of St. Petersburg, Fla., is "looking for an old Navy recipe. When I was at the Great Lakes Training Center around 1948, we were served a hamburger mixture over toast that was yummy. It had diced onions and was red in color, maybe from ketchup, tomato juice or soup. Is anyone familiar with the recipe?"

Jan Harroun of New Port Richey, Fla., remembers sour-cream sugar cookies from her childhood. When her mom bought sour cream for something special, she used what was left to make these cookies. These are moist, cakelike cookies.

Limeade pie is a favorite of many cooks. Donna Lesser of Tampa, Fla., has been making it for 30 years. She says it's a great last-minute dessert. This limeade pie whips up quickly, but you must consider about a two-hour refrigeration time before serving. Be sure to completely combine the limeade and sweetened condensed milk. This will take longer than you think.
