TUESDAY

1 shakey-thing of garlic.

1 freshly-dead chicken, prefurably precooked. (or oil tuna)

1 butter coissant.

*Slice quisant in half, aplly chicken OR spread tuna (undrained) on one side. Preinkle garlic profusely over meat on both sides, eat. If your tongue don't burn, you don't have enough garlic.

No cooking, tastes great, takes like, a minute to make, & no one will invade my personal space for several hours after consumption.

First you obtain a pita. I personally like the wheat ones that are real thick, but any will do. Then you put the sauce on it. You can use pizza sauce, spaghetti sauce, when I'm feeling saucy and fancy I use pesto. Then you put on the toppings. Whatever you like. You can use pepperoni, olives, chicken, peppers, mushrooms. Its up to you. Then you put on the cheese. I like mozzarella but if you don't then don't use it. Subsitute it for whatever you like. Then you stick the sucker in the oven at 350 degrees till the cheese is melted. Then you can eat it. Yay.

I'm from Cleveland, Ohio but I'm at Kent State University now.

I like this recipe because it is easy, cheap, and has lots of variations.

After I sent you the email about Roscoe's paranormal sighting abilities I remembered that I forgot that I'd thought I'd mention this before, and so now here I am, mentioning it in a seperate email and creating the world's longest run-on sentence just getting to the point.

I find the Thursday's Thieves section to be a bit frightening. Not only does it seem more and more like the people posting the stories are not at all ashamed / remorseful about their illegal activities, but that they might actually be reading the other stories and marking down the more successful ideas. Plus is it just me, or is the grammar and spelling dramatically worse on that page only? One might draw the conclusion that those of us who never learn to write are forced to lead lives of crime. Eh, well...

Maybe you could change it to Thursday's Volunteers and post inspiring stories of volunteering in the community? Or is that just (as those of born circa 1972 would say) gay? Anyway, it doesn't seem like a very bee-positive message to be giving band-width to.

To make up for a gripe, I'll give you a recipe. Bonus! For free!

Call it:

Frankie's Sweet-Potato Fries

Preheat oven to 400oF

Take an orange fleshed root vegetable (yep, I can't tell the difference between a yam and a sweet potato either)

Wash it really well -or- Peel

Cut lengthwise into halves (i.e., cut it the long-way not the short-way)

Slice halves into steak fries of equal thickness

Spray heavyweight cookie sheet / roasting pan with cooking spray -or- Put slices in bowl with some oil and toss so that they're equally coated

Arrange slices on sheet without overlapping and sprinkle with salt, chili powder and cinnamon.

Bake in middle of oven for 7-10 mins, flip slices and cook for another 7-10 mins or until soft.

thanks,

My roommate makes this, and I call it

Cream Cheese n Jelly Francais
(say with a really bad French accent for best effect)

You need:
Couple slices of bread
An egg or two
A splash of milk
Few ounces of cream cheese
Your favorite jelly

Crack the eggs into a bowl, add the splash of milk, beat them, and coat
the bread with the egg to make the usual French toast. When the toast
is done, spread the cream cheese on one slice and the jelly on the
other. My roomie stacks 'em together, with the jelly one on top
face-up. But it can also be done sandwich style, with the cream cheese
and jelly in the middle. Either way, it's tasty.

Best served with a side of Sunday comics and some coffay.

It's an easy variation on French toast, simple to throw together, and
tasty. That's why I like it!
Chow Down, um um IT'S good.
