Some things you have to do every day. Eating seven apples on Saturday night instead of one a day just isn't going to get the job done.
[Jim Rohn]

 

Watermelon --it's a good fruit. You eat, you drink, you wash your face.
[ Enrico Caruso]

Fruits are acceptable gifts, because they are the flower of commodities, and admit of fantastic values being attached to them. If a man should send to me to come a hundred miles to visit him, and should set before me a basket of fine summer-fruit, I should think there was some proportion between the labor and the reward.
[ Ralph Waldo Emerson]

Avgolemono (Greek Egg & Lemon Sauce)

 

Ingredients

3 large eggs
1 juice of 1 lemon (about 1/4 cup)
1 1/2 cup well seasoned chicken stock



 

Preparation

Avgolemono is easy to make and creates quit a stir at a formal dinner
party. It is an almost ethereal sauce, light, foamy, and a beautiful
pale yellow color. It is a great accompaniment to roasted meat or
chicken, or poached fish, and it is heartily recommended for boiled
artichokes. Add another cup of chicken stock and serve this as a
perfect first course soup.

In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs with a whisk until lemon
colored and frothy, then beat in the lemon juice until the mixture is
very foamy. Whisk in the hot stock a little at a time until the sauce
is light in color and foamy. Serve immediately.

Yield: About 2 cups
