::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: FOOD FUNNY :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Reader Kim Clay wins this week's "Break the Groan-O-Meter" prize with
this one:
The man of the house was mixing a martini, and a kitten was studying
every action intently. She watched him take the ice from the freezer.
She followed the ice to the glass. She helped him measure out the
liquor and stared at the ritual of the spearing of the olives.
Suddenly, a lemon twist slipped from his hands and flew across the
kitchen. The kitten couldn't believe her luck. She got there first.
She bit into the yellow twist before the man could stop her, certain
of a wonderful treat these humans enjoy.
The kitten's face screwed up as she spit out the bitter rind.
"Aha, " said the mixologist," so you have learned . . . a rind is a
terrible thing to taste."
::::::::::::::::::::::::::: TODAY'S RECIPE ::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Our "Turn of the Century" recipe today is so simple that I have
decided to reproduce it exactly as it appears in The Original Fannie
Farmer 1896 Cook Book. I have assumed that you have a favorite method
of scrambling eggs, but you might be interested to know that Fanny
Farmer specifies a silver fork be used in their preparation.
