At least a hundred people sent me the following food funny, but reader
Paula Alexander was the first.
KITCHEN SLOGANS
A messy kitchen is a happy kitchen and this kitchen is delirious.
No husband has ever been shot while doing the dishes.
If we are what we eat, then I'm fast, cheap and easy.
A balanced diet is a cookie in each hand.
Thou shalt not weigh more than thy refrigerator.
Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves for they shall never
cease to be amused.
A clean house is a sign of a misspent life.
Help keep the kitchen clean - eat out.
Housework done properly can kill you.
Countless number of people have eaten in
this kitchen and gone on to lead normal lives.
My next house will have no kitchen - just vending machines.
I have had the good fortune to spend several weeks in Greece on two
separate occasions, and nothing transports me there the way this soup
does. Egg lemon soup (or 'avgolemono soupa', as they say in Greece)
is not only a true Greek classic, but the bright lemon flavor actually
tastes like a sunny afternoon of the beach of your favorite Greek
isle. It is frequently served without rice, but this version makes a
little more substantial dish.
Egg Lemon Soup
6 cups (1.5 L) canned or fresh chicken broth
1/3 cup (80 ml) raw long-grained rice
2 eggs
Juice of 1 lemon
Bring the broth to a boil in a 2 quart (2 L) saucepan over high heat.
Add the rice and stir once. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook
covered for 20 minutes. In a small bowl, beat the eggs well. Add the
lemon juice and beat for 2 to 3 minutes. Add 1 cup of the hot broth a
little at a time, beating constantly. Remove the broth from the heat
and stir in the egg mixture. Stir constantly until slightly
thickened. You may have to heat it a little over a low flame, but DO
NOT BOIL. Serves 4 to 6.
