- Fred AstaireWith the majority of the recipes in this book, I've tried to keep in mind that you are busy and have plenty of other things to do with your time besides spending it in the kitchen. I've also tried to keep the ingredients and the processes reasonably simple and usually I've had an eye on the calories and the cost.
This chapter is an exception. These recipes ignore calories, and some of
them require not just minutes of preparation, but days. There are some occasions, however, that deserve showstopper recipes. Maybe your daughter is getting married? Or you're celebrating a very special anniversary? Someone important to you just got a promotion? You're part of a gourmet club, and you want your recipe to be at least as good as Linda's?
This chapter is the place to look for unusual recipes, the show stoppers, the ones that will really make people feel special, and that they'll be talking about for days to come.

- Isaac D'Israeli, Curiosities of Literature (1791-1823)Ever wondered why we go to school? Besides getting a so called education, it's not so most of you stupid fucks but for those who think a little, more and deeper you should realise it: it's societies' way of turning all young people into good little robots and factory workers, that's why we sit on desks in rows and go by bell schedules, to get prepared for the real world, cause "that's what it's like" well god damnit NO IT ISN'T! One thing that separates us from other animals is the fact that we can carry on actual thought. So why don't we? People go on day by day routine shit, why can't we learn in school how we want to, why can't we sit on desks and on shelves and put our feet up and relax while we learn? Cause that's not what the "real" world is like.

1 egg
3/4 cup flour
1/3 cup water
1/4 teaspoon salt or to taste
1/8 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon minced, fresh parsley, optional garnish
In small bowl, beat egg; stir in flour, water, salt, baking powder, and nutmeg. Drop batter by half teaspoons into the simmering soup. When dumplings rise to top, stir in parsley and serve.
Variation: Chicken Spinach Straciatella
Omit dumplings. Clean and stem 1/2 pound fresh spinach; stack and cut into 1/2-inch strips. Whisk together 2 eggs with 1/2-cup grated Parmesan cheese. Stir in spinach with chicken, then heat soup just to boiling. Immediately pour in the egg mixture in a thin stream, while stirring. The goal is to end up with thread-like strands of cooked egg. Cook until soup simmers again; stir gently just before serving.

Fresh garlic is definitely better than powdered garlic. If you haven't been using it, give fresh garlic a try. Look for garlic cloves with plump, firm heads that have a fresh appearance. The paper-like casing should be dry and should completely cover the individual garlic cloves, and there should be no trace of sprouting. Store garlic in a cool, dry place, but don't refrigerate it. I asked a garlic grower why not, and he told me that cool temperatures can increase the garlic's tendency to sprout.

If we give up all future wars we must give up our empires and all hope of empire.
- Georges ClemenceauThe difference between myth and science is the difference between divine inspiration of unaided reason' on the one hand and theories developed in observational contact with the real world on the other. [It is] the difference between the belief in prophets and critical thinking, between Credo quia absurdum [I believe because it is absurdTertullian.] and De omnibus est dubitandum [Everything should be questionedDescartes.]. To try to write a grand cosmical drama leads necessarily to myth. To try to let knowledge substitute ignorance in increasingly large regions of space and time is science.
- H. AlfvnWith dried blood stiff on my temples I climbed the hill, cursing the satanic way of men, yet knowing myself vile, for they had not known what they were doing, but I betrayed an innocent; and the tears weak whiskey tears would not wash from my brow the blood of a little brother.

Dance is advanced body language.
- Kristy NilssonWe are a wondrous gathering of atoms formed into an incredible being, capable of experiencing our own existence. While we live this experience we must be thankful for it, and live it fully. When it ends, we return to what we were before it began. What we create and leave behind is our gift to those who will follow us. We return to the universe as we came from it, to be recreated, and recycled into the infinite all.
- Allan Revich
We should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once.
