Recipes
Hieronymous Anonymous posted some recipes complete with footnotes about which Brit supermarket chain had the best sundried tomatoes (or something) so I am retaliating. Three are family recipes, and the rest are from the book.
Truly Excellent Punch (J's dad's recipe)
Ginger ale
Cranberry juice
several limes
Mix ginger ale and cranberry juice to taste (less ginger ale= sour-er beverage), add lime juice to taste, and garnish with lime slices.
Jasper Breakfast
Take one bowl of granola and add half a small container (or a few scoops from a large one) of yogurt. Contrary to popular belief, eating granola does not turn you in to a hippie.
Chocolate balls a la Chambord (from Wild Raspberries)
Decorate a ten inch round silver platter with maraschino cherries, fresh mint, and almond filberts, Then call up the Royal Pastry Shop and have them deliver a pound of half inch chocolate balls, serve only with no-cal ginger ale to very thin people
Torte a la Dobosch (same source as above)
Run down to Dick Camp's and buy an old wire whisk, beat 6 eggs and 1/2 cup sugar until thick then add 1/2 cup flower sifted 7 tablespoons strong black coffee, add 5 egg whites stiffly beaten and bake in 12 springform molds on the top layer spread an orange glaze and slices of fresh pineapple Decorate with a red sweetheart rose made from spun sugar and Dr Martins dye, let the cake sit for at least 14 hrs before serving and hang the whisk on the kitchen wall above the rotisserie
J's Cinnamon Lemonade/Hair Dye
In a microwave safe mug, mix water (not too much), cinnamon (a fair amount), chili powder (a bit), powdered cloves (a bit), lemon juice (a few squeezes) and honey to taste. Microwave it until the spices are all mixed in. You can either drink it and OD on cinnamon or rub it into wet, clean hair a bit at a time and rinse out for an interesting "rosy glow" effect and a strong odor of spices.
Piglet (Wild Raspberries)
Contact Trader Vic's and order a 40 pound suckling pig to serve 15. Have Hamley take the Carey Cadillac to the side entrance and recieve the pig at exactly 6:45. Rush home immediately and Place on the open spit for 50 minutes. Remove and garnish with fresh crabapples.
(and, a personal favorite...) Gefiilte of Fighting Fish
Contact Max's fish hatchery in the Bronx and have Max send C.O.D. two plump fighting fish. Immerse them in sea water and allow them to battle until they completely bone each other Take the fillets, stir in white wine and serve completely chilled.
Please note: Wild Raspberries was co-written by Andy Warhol and is therefore more than a little ridiculous. None of the recipes from it are meant to be taken in earnest, especially since they probably only work for affluent New Yorkers circa 1962. Just a warning.
Now the war's over
Mussolini's dead
He wants to go to heaven
With a crown upon his head
The lord says NO
He's got to stay below
All dressed up
And nowhere to go!
