Lasagne

EXISTENCE, n. 

A transient, horrible, fantastic dream,

Wherein is nothing yet all things do seem:

From which we're wakened by a friendly nudge

Of our bedfellow Death, and cry: "O fudge!"

Lasagne recipe;

Ragu sauce with ground beef, onion, and small curd cottage cheese. Layer sauce with noodles and mozza cheese.

LETTUCE,n.

An herb, of the genus Lactuca, "Wherewith," says that pious gastronome, Hengist Pelly, "God has been pleased to reward the good and punish the wicked.  For by his inner light the righteous man has discerned a manner of compounding for it a dressing to the appetency whereof a multitude of gustible condiments conspire, being reconciled and ameliorated with profusion of oil, the entire comestible making glad the heart of the godly and causing his face to shine.  But the person of spiritual unworth is successfully tempted of the Adversary to eat of lettuce with destitution of oil, mustard, egg, salt and garlic, and with a rascal bath of vinegar polluted with sugar.  Wherefore the person of spiritual unworth suffers an intestinal pang of strange complexity and raises the song."

Written by your grandmother when your sister and Aubrey were in bed sleeping and your Dad and I went with grandpa to go pheasant hunting.   

Twas the day after Thanksgiving

And all through the place

Dirty glasses and dishes staring me in the face.

While grama and grampa and great-grandpapa

Have gone pheasant hunting

At a place quite far.

The three girls were sleeping

All snug in their nest

And only great-grandma to

Clean up the mess.

One more cup of coffee

One more cigarette.

I’ll wash and I’ll dust

And I’ll scrub and I’ll clean.

But I know the idea

Is only a dream.

Then the mighty hunters

Will come home from a far

And find me sitting

Just as I are.

So I just sit here

My thoughts on the roam

Oh how I wish

I was any place but home

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

NECTAR, n.  A drink served at banquets of the Olympian deities.  The secret of its preparation is lost, but the modern Kentuckians believe that they come pretty near to a knowledge of its chief ingredient.

Juno drank a cup of nectar, 

But the draught did not affect her.

Juno drank a cup of rye--

Then she bade herself good-bye.

Recipe for: Scillian Cassata Cobbler

Lemon Cookie Crust: ( I suggest a double=batch)

1-1/3 cups all -purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/3 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup melted butter or margarine (1/4lb.)

1-1/2 cup half and half or 2% lowfat milk

1-1/2 tablespoons grated lemon zest

Preheat oven to 350F

In a large bowl, combine crust ingredients.  Using quick strokes of a fork or a handheld electric mixer set at medium speed, toss or swirl ingredients until soft cookie dough forms.  Spoon dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet.  Using the back of a spoon, or spatula, spread and flatten dough to 1/8 inch thick.

Bake 10-15 minutes or until crust is golden brown.  Set crust aside to cool at least 30 minutes before handling.

Cassata Filling:

1 lb. ricotta cheese 

2 tablespoons whipping cream or 2% lowfat milk

1/4 cup granulated sugar

3 tablespoons Grand Marnier or orange juice

1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips

1/4 cup finely chopped candied fruit

3 tablespoons shredded coconut

Using fork or mixer, blend ricotta cheese, cram or milk, sugar and Grand Marnier or juice until smooth.  Fold in chocolate chips, candied fruit and coconut.  Spoon ricotta filling into a medium-sized glass dish.  Using your thumbs and fingertips, crumble cooled cookie crust on top of cassata filling.

Chocolate-Espresso Topping:

12 oz. semisweet chocolate, cut into small pieces

3/4 cup hot espresso

1/2 lb. butter or margarine, chilled and cut into small pieces

In a small saucepan, melt chocolate in hot espresso over low heat.  Whisk in butter or margarine until completely smooth.

Refrigerate until thickened. Suing a spatula, spread cooled topping over crumbled cooke crust.  Makes 6 or 7 servings.
