“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

Haman's Ears

 

Ingredients

2 eggs
2 egg yolks
1/4 cup sugar salt
1 tsp lemon rind, grated
3 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp rum or brandy
2 1/2 cup flour, unbleached
1 cup oil, olive or otherwise for fr



 

Preparation

Orecchi di Aman For the Italian Jews orecchi di Aman are as
synonymous with the festival of Purim as the Hamantaschen are for the
Ashkenazim.

In a small bowl, beat the eggs, egg yolks with the sugar, lemon rind,
olive oil, vanilla extract and rum. Gradually add enough flour to
make a rather soft dough. Turn out onto a floured working surface and
knead for 2 or 3 minutes. Roll very thin. With a pastry cutter or
sharp knife, cut into strips 1 inch x 4 to 7 inches. Slowly heat the
oil in a small saucepan. (Oil is at the right temperature when a
small piece of dough drops into it floats and begins to sizzle.) Fry
a few strips at a time, twirling them to give them odd shapes until
they are lightly golden. (Tie the longer pieces into a knot before
frying them.) Drain and place on a paper towel. When all the ears are
done, transfer to a large serving dish, sprinkling each layer with
confectioner's sugar (through a sieve). YIELDS: 2 to 3 dozen
