“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

Kheer

 

Ingredients

4 cup milk
1 tbsp long grained rice
4 whole cardomom pods, slightly crushed
1 tbsp sugar
10 pistachios, unsalted and slivered,, plus a few for g



 

Preparation

Combine themilk, rice, and cardamom pods in a
heavy-bottomed pot. Bring to a boil. Lower the heat
and reduce the milk until you have 2 cups.* This may
take 1-1 1/4 hours. Turn off heat. Remove cardamom
pods and discard. Add sugar and nuts, Mix well and
leave to cool. Mix again and pour into a serving
bowl. Decorate with a few more slivered pistachios on
top. Cover bowl with light plastic wrap. Refrigerate.
Serve cold.

*Note: How to boil milk down
1 Use a very heavy-bottomed pot. Cast iron or
aluminium covered with porcelain.
2 Since the process is slow and tedious bring a chair
and book to stove. 3 Bring the milk to an "almost"
boil. Watch it. If you let it boil over you will
have a big mess to clean. As soon as it seems that
the milk will start to boil and rise, turn heat sown
to medium low. 4 Adjust heat so that milk is always
bubblingm but will not boil over. 5 Once the milk has
begun its slow boil, settle down with your book. Stir
milk every few minutes. 6 If a creamy crust forms on
top, just stir it into the milk. It will taste fine
when cold.
