“You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I’m not hungry enough to eat six.”
Yogi Berra

"Believe it or not, American’s eat 75 acres of pizza a day."
Boyd Matson

"The dishes of the present day are very light, and they have a particular delicacy and perfume. The secret has been discovered of enabling us to eat more and to eat better, as also to digest more rapidly....The new cookery is conductive to health, to good temper, and to long life....Who could enumerate all the dishes of the new cuisine? It is an absolutely new idiom. I have tasted viands prepared in so many ways and fashioned with such art that I could not imagine what they were."
Louis Sebastien Mercier

Doris's Pralines

 

Ingredients

4 cup sugar
5 cup pecans
4 tbsp karo syrup
1 tbsp butter
1 can condensed milk
1 tsp vanilla
1 can water



 

Preparation

Mix all ingredients except butter, vanilla, and pecans. Cook on low
fire until the mixture forms a soft ball in cold water. Remove from
fire. Add butter, vanilla, and pecans, and beat until the mixture
holds its shape. Spoon onto buttered wax paper (Add old newspaper
under your wax paper.) If candy gets hard before all is spooned out,
add a little water, and heat over. Or you can let it stand on low
heat while spooning out. If you have never tasted freshly made
pralines, made from fresh Louisiana pecans, you have just never
really lived. Justin Wilson says, "Doris is the much better half
(wife) of my good friend Gordon Martin, the sheriff of St. James
Parish. Every Christmas Eve we go by to see them after watching the
bonfires that are burned on the levees along the Mississippi River to
light the way for Papa Noel (Santa Claus).
