*** A WORD FROM THE KITCHEN ***

I'd love to know which of TV kitchens from the good-
ol' days are the favorite among my readers... I'm talking
This was the pre-Martha, Paula, Ina, Emeril times ;o)
Mine would have to be Lucy of course, can you come take
a few seconds and take the poll?

And check out some of the past recipe issues while you're
there!

How about a great dessert idea I heard come outta Martha's
kitchen a bit back that gets raves and requests for repeats
wherever it goes? Here it is...the STAINED GLASS TORTE
which I thought fitting just for the colorful Jello it uses.
This is truly a unique dessert recipe.

Enjoy!

When you're entertaining presentation is everything. Adding
that special touch known as garnish can turn the ordinary
into the extraordinary. From time to time we'll be giving
you tips to help you present like the real pros.

CUCUMBER-CARROT PINWHEELS

- whole cucumbers, unpeeled
- whole carrots, peeled

Cut cucumber in 3" lengths. Hollow out seeded middle section.
Push a carrot into the hollowed out center of the cucumber.
Slice the cucumber/carrot wheels into 1/2-inch slices. You
end up with a cucumber slice with a carrot center. Looks
very attractive as a garnish and is fat free and tasty!!

TIP: Try scoring the cucumber skin before cutting for an
even more interesting look. Run a fork lengthwise down the
cucumber skin all around the cucumber. Actually, this method
makes pretty cucumber slices with or without skin.

(perfect for veggie trays!)
