Would they have got out of their remote suburban beds on a raw Sunday morning if this bread were not truly special? Has its moist, chewy middle not induced them to brave city streets where people have been mugged for their sneakers and murdered for a leather jacket? Are the triple-braided loaves not caked with sesame seeds? Does the round loaf not have a crust you can cut your gums...
...supportive Bible verse. He recited the above words from Psalms 38: 12 during the second of two remarkable performances on ABC-TV's Nightline show, capping a soap opera-like, ten-week saga of money, power and sex that has transfixed skeptic and believer alike. Flanked by his moist-eyed wife Tammy Faye, Bakker informed Nightline Host Ted Koppel and his television audience -- the largest in the show's seven-year history -- that his lethal enemy was the Rev. Jerry Falwell, the televangelist to whom he had entrusted his scandal-stained PTL* ministry last March. Bakker portrayed Falwell...
...tearoom breads, delicious by themselves but poor as foils for wine, the satiny American smoked salmon and the elegant terrine of truffled duck liver. Other fine dinner appetizers were the silken lobster-filled ravioli with chanterelles and hazelnuts and a ragout of wild mushrooms. Among main courses, moist, roasted pheasant with a subtle gamy flavor was well set off with pungent cranberries, and a mustard glaze added zest to sliced, rare roast filet of beef. Near misses were a too soupy stew of wild duck, the sweetbreads that tasted of overheated oil and both the gratin of salt codfish with...
Vancouver is one of the most serene big cities in North America, as well as one of the most polite. Its climate, much like Seattle's, is cool and moist and is as hospitable to tourists as it is to flowers, the regiments of tulips and carpets of pansies that are seen everywhere. The fair's original purpose was to mark the centennial of the opening of the Canadian transcontinental railway. A more practical goal was to boost the ailing economy of British Columbia. But now it is benefiting from a larger circumstance. In a world frightened by terrorism, this...
...more than adequate reward for a little extra chewing. The porterhouse and sirloin steaks pan-grilled in an iron skillet would have done credit to any first-class steak house. A rib roast was succulent and tender, but ground sirloin and chuck were too lean to make properly moist hamburgers. Pot roast and stew cuts, though acceptable, cooked so quickly that they did not absorb the flavors of seasonings, one of the advantages of the usually fatty, long-cooking cuts. As with all lean beefs, cooking is accomplished more rapidly because there is less fat to be cooked along with...
