Wisdom from Joy of Cooking
Posted by Moose on April 28th, 2006. Filed under: I Live to Eat.This made me laugh out loud as I was flipping through The Joy of Cooking in search of recipes for scones and tea sandwiches. For, you guessed it, tea. I do love me some tea. Something about the clotted cream gets me giddy.
To the unexpected comic gem. Under the recipe for Rich Cocktail Tart is this quote:
A physician in our family once took to task a scandalously obese patient. “But, doctor,” said the patient plaintively, “one must offer the stomach something from time to time.”
Words of wisdom indeed. Also makes you wonder exactly how many delicious fatty calories are in this rich cocktail tart.
