Thank you so much Quenelle. This was great.
Sartre died in Paris in 1981. His last word is reputed to have been, simply, "Trix."

What did the Dali Lama ask for at McDonald's?
Make me one with everything.
I love the idea of Sartre's cook book. I have Freud's Own Cookbook which explores the "oral origin of neurosis," which I love dearly. Birth Trauma Cake is one of my favorite recipes - the cake is placed in the oven, but never baked.
As for Sartre's last word...perhaps he was thinking "Trix are for kids..." |

Good one Nancy, I had to think for a couple of minutes on the Dahli Lama joke.
here's one
a duck walks into a bar, hops up on the counter and says to the bar keep "got any bread"
bar keep: " no we don't serve ducks here"
duck " got any bread ?"
bar keep " no, we don't serve ducks here"
duck " got any bread ?"
bar keep " No, for last time, and if you ask me again I'm going to nail your bill to the bar"
duck " got any nails ?"
bar keep "no"
duck " good, got any bread ?"

Funny CoolJ!
Nancya: « the cake is placed in the oven, but never baked»
That's probably where the trauma comes from.

| |  Cojones
Joe traveled to Spain and wandered into a Madrid restaurant one night for a late dinner.
He ordered the house specialty and was brought a plate with potatoes, corn, and two large meaty objects. "What's this?" Joe asked.
"Cojones, senor," the waiter replied.
"But, what are cojones?" Joe asked.
"Cojones," the waiter explained, "are the testicles of the bull who lost at the arena this afternoon."
At first Joe was disgusted; but being the adventurous type, he decided to try this local delicacy. To Joe's amazement, it was quite delicious. In fact, it was so good, Joe decided to return the next night and order it again.
This time, the waiter brought out the plate, but the meaty objects were much smaller.
"What's this?" Joe asked the waiter.
"Cojones, senor," the waiter replied.
"No, no," Joe objected, "I had cojones yesterday and they were much bigger than these."
"Senor," the waiter explained, "the bull does not always lose."

Chocolate Covered Grasshoppers
In deep, dark November, you won't be overrun with grasshoppers so I suggest you try this out on slugs...
Ingredients:
baker's chocolate
candied crickets
Directions:
Melt baker's chocolate in double boiler.
Fill molds halfway with chocolate, add grasshoppers, fill rest of the way.
A tasty surprise in every one!

But they sure do fit the bill when you want a soft and chewy center.
