A popover is a a light, hollow roll made from an egg batter. It looks like a smooth muffin until you open it and it's hollow. It's one of the things i was taught to bake when i was in 7th grade Home Economics class.
Creamed HB egg is a white sauce (Béchamel sauce) (learned white sauce in HomeEc, too) with chopped up hard boiled egg mixed in.
Creamed dried beef is a white sauce with chopped up dried beef in it. (It's what SOS is made of if you know anyone who has been in the military.) Dried beef used to be sold in a small glass jar. More recently i've seen it in a little bag near the Canadian bacon and pepperoni in the store.
Back in the 1960's when i was first married i got real good at making "creamed whatnot on whatever". "Whatnot" was HB egg, dried beef, tuna, chicken, etc. "Whatever" was toast, rice, popovers, noodles, etc. It was a good way to use up leftovers. i prefer using white sauce instead of Campbells cream soups. You can make quantities that match your need and control the salt.
Cranberries sound good this morning. i get the whole fresh cranberries when they are in the store and freeze them. They have no sugar added. When i use them i add a little Splenda if they are too tart. i put them in muffins, pancakes and quick bread. For an interesting salsa i microwave some cranberries a little and mash them - then chop up some Jalapeño and green onions with it. Also, add cilantro and lime juice. Some folks use a food processor, but that is a lot of trouble to clean.
