BREAKFAST

Cancer Eggs
Ingredients: 6 large egg yolks 1/4 cup lemon juice 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard 1 1/2 cups melted unsalted butter 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1/8 teaspoon cayenne 6 English muffins 3 cups Dungeness crab, picked over and at room temperature 12 large eggs

First. Make hollandaise sauce: In the bottom of a double boiler or in a medium saucepan, bring 1 in. of water to a simmer over high heat and adjust heat to maintain simmer. Put egg yolks, lemon juice, and mustard in top of a double boiler or in a round-bottomed medium bowl and set over simmering water. Whisk yolk mixture to blend. Then. Whisking constantly, add butter in a slow, steady stream (it should take about 90 seconds). Cook sauce, whisking, until it reaches 140, then adjust heat to maintain temperature (remove from simmering water if necessary). Add salt, pepper, and cayenne and continue whisking until thick, about 3 minutes. Adjust seasonings to taste. Remove from stove and set aside. Then. Preheat oven to 450. Split English muffins and arrange on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake until toasted, about 5 minutes. Then. Put 2 muffin halves on each plate and top with crab, dividing evenly. Then. Poach eggs: Bring 1 in. water to boil in a 12-in.-wide pan. Lower heat so that small bubbles form on the bottom of the pan and break to the surface only occasionally. Crack eggs into water 1 at a time, holding shells close to the water's surface and letting eggs slide out gently. Poach eggs, in 2 batches to keep them from crowding, 3 to 4 minutes for soft-cooked. Lift eggs out with a slotted spoon, pat dry with a paper towel, and place 1 egg on each crab-topped muffin half. Finally. Top each egg with 2 to 3 tbsp. reserved hollandaise sauce and serve hot.

Reasonable Bran Muffins

Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups wheat bran 1 cup nonfat milk 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce 1 egg 2/3 cup brown sugar 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 cup whole wheat flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup blueberries First. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease muffin cups or use paper muffin liners. Mix together wheat bran and milk, and let stand for 10 minutes. Then. In a large bowl, mix together applesauce, egg, brown sugar, and vanilla. Beat in bran mixture. Sift together all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Stir into bran mixture until just blended. Fold in blueberries. Scoop into muffin cups. Finally. Bake in preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until tops spring back when lightly tapped, like your mom.

Reasonable bran muffin? The only reasonable bran muffin is a DEAD bran muffin.

BEVERAGES

The New Cult Cannon

Ingredients: 1 pitcher of Kool-Aid 1 bottle of vodka 1 squirt gun 1 batch of cyanide (optional)

First. Mix Kool-Aid and vodka in equal measures. Add cyanide if Hale-Bopp comet is overhead. Then. Pour mixture into squirt gun. Finally. Pretend youre Warden Norton at the end of The Shawshank Redemption.

I shot a kid. He was 13 years old. Ohhh, it was dark, I couldn't see him. He had a squirt gun full of Kool-Aid and vodka, looked real enough. You know, when you're a rookie, they can teach you everything about bein' a cop except how to live with a mistake. Anyway, I just couldn't bring myself to draw my gun on anybody again. So, if you plan on imbibing The New Cult Cannon, please, for all the rookie cops out there, make sure it has no resemblance to a real gun whatsoever. And save me a fucking Ding-Dong.

-Reginald VelJohnson

Not Pennys Float

Ingredients: 1/2 pint vanilla ice cream 1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle root beer 1/2 cup whipped cream 4 maraschino cherries

First. Place 1 scoop of ice cream into each of two tall glasses. Then. Flash back to a time when the ice cream was in the band Drive Shaft. Then. Discover a hatch on the kitchen floor. Then. Blow up the hatch and ignore the scoop of ice cream for awhile. Then. Add more mystery to the ice cream. And more tall glasses. Then. Have some of the ice cream escape from the two tall glasses. Then. Start showing what happens to the ice cream after youve eaten the root beer float. Make sure you go heavy on the melodrama. Then. Have the ice cream start jumping temporally. Maybe start pretending you are going to be able to prevent the ice cream from ever happening by going back in time and blowing up the freezer with a nuclear bomb. Then. Add more mythology to the ice cream, like how it all began, and start making promises about how the root beer will all make sense someday. Then. Find a bunch of squirrel bones and put it in a stroller and walk around town, pretending its your baby. Then. Pour root beer carefully over the ice cream, which has melted by this point. Finally. Forget this recipe even mentioned whipped cream or maraschino cherries. Ultimately, they are not important. They were never important.

MY WORLD OF SOUPS

RANDOM ROLLS

Random Rolls with Grard Depardieu

Cry of the Cormoran (1970) - Henri GD: My first feature length film. I played a small part as Henri. I remember the director, Michel Audiard, had this insane rule about doing only two takes per scene, so you really had to have the scene down in rehearsal. Later, I learned that Michel was filming without a license, so that explains the urgency. It was real guerrilla filmmaking, really independent. All we had to eat on set were day-old Kaiser rolls. But when youre a struggling actor, you dont ask many questions. The Last Metro (1980) - Bernard Granger GD: This was a life-changing experience. I loved working with Truffaut because he introduced me to Tootsie Rolls. Hes a real auteur of Halloween candy. Green Card (1990) - Georges GD: Well, I was this really big star in France and my agent thought I would be a great breakout star over in America. She tells me the script is about a French man, and before she could say any more, I said Ill take it because it was the part I was born to play. We filmed it in New York and Andie (MacDowell) was a delight. She was so tiny and I would keep picking her up and carrying her around and she would yell at me. The one thing I didnt like, though, was craft services only had California rolls. Sushi was a big thing in the late 80s, when we filmed it, but I complained to Peter (Weir) about it and some intern came to my trailer with a French roll and I was like What the fuck is that shit? and the intern said he thought Id like it, on account of being French and all, but I told that ignorant little troll that French rolls were for American tourists and syphilitic prostitutes. And then I took a piss on his shoes. Cyrano de Bergerac (1990) - Cyrano de Bergerac GD: Steve Martin, eat your heart out. I feel like my Cyrano is an underrated Cyrano because I brought something new to the character, other than just a really long nose. I told the hack director (Jean-Paul Rappeneau) that this is a character with a long nose, why dont we have a running gag where hes always finding stray cinnamon rolls with the power of his nose? In retrospect, I was just really craving cinnamon rolls, but I think it added a little levity to the pathos of this guy with a long schnauzer, the fact that even if Roxane rejects him for being a freak, hes still got the unconditional love of cinnamon rolls. 1492: Conquest of Paradise (1992) - Christopher Columbus GD: Only in Hollywood could you have a Frenchman playing a Spaniard who discovers America. I remember getting into a huge argument with Ridley Scott because I thought the movie would do better with younger audiences if Christopher Columbus was always munching on pizza rolls while he is doing his captain things or when he arrives in America. Ridley insisted that it was a horrible idea, that they didnt have pizza rolls back in 1492, but I paid a historian to tell him otherwise. That Judas ended up editing out all of the instances where I was eating pizza rolls, but if you look close enough, you can see stains on my shirt where I wiped off the sauce.

Random Rolls with Andie MacDowell

Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes (1984) - Miss Jane Porter AM: My first feature length film. I played Jane. I remember being really nervous, as it was my first time on a movie, but Christopher Lambert was really good about loosening me up. He would pick me up and carry me around the set, pretending he was Tarzan. We filmed it in Cameroon so craft services had these cassava rolls, which are a local delicacy, but Christopher only ate plantains. He was a method actor, which explained the time he started throwing his feces at the poor director, Hugh Hudson. But when youre a struggling actor, you dont ask many questions. Multiplicity (1996) - Laura Kinney AM: I love Michael Keaton in this. All his clones are these great little comic characters, and I feel like his performance in the movie was largely ignored. The filming was an arduous process, since Michael had to film virtually every scene three or four times, but he kept it light on the set. Sometimes, he would pick me up and carry me around the set, telling the crew that I was the Oscar he deserved for Clean & Sober, and the crew would just roll their eyes. Groundhog Day (1993) - Rita AM: Its a perfect movie. Im so glad I was a part of it. Bill Murray hurt his back picking me up, in that scene in the snow, and Chris Elliott made some joke about how it was probably because I was too fat, and I laughed it off, but I havent eaten a taquito ever since. The Last of the Mohicans (1992) - Cora Munro AM: Im sorry, I was not in that. Are you maybe thinking of Madeleine Stowe? AVC: Oops, youre right. Im sorry about that. AM: Its okay. People make that mistake because we were both in Short Cuts and Bad Girls, but obviously you havent done much research. AVC: It wont happen again. Do you happen to have her phone number? AM: Next question. Green Card (1990) - Bront AM: It was a great experience working with Peter Weir. He had just come off Dead Poets Society, so he was a hot commodity in Hollywood. Everyone wanted to work with him. And he was so sensitive to his actors. On the first day of the shoot, he asked me what would make me feel at home, and I told him sushi reminded me of Los Angeles, so every day, there were a million California rolls on set. Grard Depardieu hated them. He used to pick me up and carry me around the set, which I hated. I think he did it because he was so mad about the California rolls, but whatever. He was a consummate asshole on set, but I wish him the best. Twelve Monkeys (1995) - Kathryn Railly AM: Really?

Random Rolls with Stephen Tobolowsky

Keep My Grave Open (1976) - Robert ST: My first feature length film. I played Robert. There was a rumor going around the set that the director ran over his grandmother with a Rolls Royce and used his inheritance to fund the movie. But when youre a struggling actor, you dont ask many questions. Groundhog Day (1993) - Ned ST: Not a day goes by where somebody doesnt stop me on the street and calls me Needlenose Ned. Which is confusing in a way, because thats what made the character of Ned so annoying in the movie, stopping Phil every time he saw him. So now I carry a gun with me whenever I go out in public. Nothing stops an autograph seeker in their tracks like a loaded revolver in their face. I had a great time on that film, great fun filming all those scenes with Bill Murray. And Im glad that Andie MacDowell gave up her nasty taquito habit. Sneakers (1992) - Dr. Werner Brandes ST: Bar none the most fun Ive ever had on a movie. You had all these icons. Robert Redford, Sidney Poitier, Donal Logue. It was like partying with the Rolling Stones, except you didnt have to sleep with David Bowie if you didnt want to. The Country Bears (2002) - Norbert Barrington ST: Willie Nelson really knew how to roll a joint. Me and M.C. Gainey popped into Willies trailer after a day of shooting and we got so high, we forget what state we were in. We got the munchies real bad and we went to the nearest IHOP and ordered the never-ending pancakes. Three hours later, the manager comes over to our table and tells us they are out of pancakes. Without hesitation, M.C. Gainey pulls a knife and stabs the manager to death. All of a sudden, were burying parts of this poor son of a bitch all over Tennessee. When we got back to set, we were so late that Christopher Walken pulls me aside, asks me whats going on. I tell him everything, and he just tells me Youll be fine. Just make sure you and M.C. Gainey get your stories straight. It sounded like he had done this before. My Father The Hero (1994) - Mike ST: Sometimes you do a project because it means you get to spend 2 months in the Bahamas, and this was one of those times. I guess we were all go happy to be in the Bahamas that we overlooked the creepy aspects of the film, but was it worth being in what would have been a Best Picture winning movie if all the Oscar voters that year were pedophiles? Yes, because the Bahamas are amazing. My favorite moment on set was when Lauren Hutton and I got Grard Depardieu to eat an entire roll of quarters on a dare.

CELEBRITY SANDWICHES

Celebrity Sandwiches
The George Lucas
Turkey, havarti, mayonnaise, mango chutney, cayenne pepper, lettuce, and apple slices on a croissant. Midway through the sandwich, remove the turkey and replace it with a piece of stiff cardboard. Put the turkey in a safe deposit box. Pretend the piece of turkey never existed.

The Lindsay Lohan

Dry-aged roast beef, provolone cheese, Worcestershire sauce, and pickled banana pepper rings on a toasted hoagie. Served with a side of French onion soup brimming with lipstick-stained cigarette butts.

The James Franco

Peanut butter (but not peanut butter from some commercial titan like Jif... this is real peanut butter, produced from the blood, sweat, and tears of the worldwide agrarian collective, with peanuts picked and roasted in Indonesia, then smuggled into the United States by Topher Grace) and jelly on white bread.

The Gary Busey

Liverwurst, Sensodyne, red onions, ketchup, soggy deed for Marvin Gardens, and beef tomato slices shoved in between two heels of stale wheat bread, along with a side of corn chips, all served on a cocaine-encrusted vinyl of Dennis Wilsons Pacific Ocean Blue.

The Sean ONeal

Digital stock photographs of ham, Swiss cheese, dijon mustard, and rye bread, as well as their respective Wikipedia entries, uploaded onto a memory stick and implanted into a clandestine USB slot just behind the left ear. Served with a side of mush made up of single cell proteins combined with synthetic aminos, vitamins, and minerals designed for robots, because of course he is.

The Nicolas Cage

Honey ham, cheddar cheese, dijon mustard, and olive oil on an oven-roasted ciabatta roll, placed in the oven and forgotten about until the smoke alarm goes off. How'd it get burned? How'd it get burned? HOW'D IT GET BURNED, HOW'D IT GET BURNED? OH, NO! NOT THE CHEESE! NOT THE CHEESE! AAAAAHHHHH! This is murder! Murder! You'll all be guilty, and you're doing it for nothing! Killing me won't bring back your goddamn honey ham!

Celebrity Sandwiches
The Michael Bay
The sandwich begins on an aircraft carrier out at sea. The captain (Tom Wilkinson) of the ship is talking to the guy who monitors the radar. Ive never seen anything like it, says the radar guy (Tom Sizemore). It doesnt make any sense. It looks like a school of tuna fish. Suddenly, the bow of the ship is throttled by an unseen force. Theres an explosion in the radar room and the radar guy is fucking dead. Call the Pentagon, barks the captain. The phone rings at the Pentagon and the fucking President of the United States (Tom Hanks) answers. What the fuck is it? he yells. Its a school of tuna, yells the captain, right as the entire ship blows up. Theres like 2 straight minutes of explosions. Holy fuck, says the President, as he slams the phone down and races to his fighter jet. He flies his fighter jet to the ocean, but on the way, he is intercepted by Bin Laden in a fighter jet. Bin Laden is no match for the POTUS and he quips Im sorry, Mr. Bin Laden, but Ive got a date with a tuna sandwich, then hes all Youve heard of mecca? Well, mecca lecca high, mecca hiney ho, motherfucker!, and blows his bearded ass out of the sky with a fucking homing missile. The explosion rivals 9/11 in its explosion-ness. The POTUS arrives at the site of the aircraft carrier disaster and sees that its not a school of tuna, but one giant tuna that is the size of a school of tuna. Looks like my last bowel movement, quips the President, as he pushes the FIRE button for the specially armed tuna homing missile. Jammed. Well, Teddy Roosevelt didnt need any fucking missiles, says the President, and he grabs his hunting knife out of his briefcase with all the launch codes and hits the auto-eject button and parachutes down into the mouth of the mega-tuna. Inside the mega-tuna, the President realizes that it is really a mechanical leviathan being operated by a still-alive Adolf Hitler (Tom Selleck). The President murders his way past Hitlers best henchmen (Tom Waits and Tom Hiddleston) and puts a knife up to Hitlers wrinkly old neck and says You might be the Axis of Evil but Im the fucking Axis of Symmetry. And Hitler just starts laughing and explains that the tuna leviathan is rigged to self-destruct in ten minutes. The President jabs the knife through Hitlers neck, which explodes, then rescues Albert Einstein (Tom Hulce) from his gilded cage, and the two of them hop on a hover-jetski that Einstein invented while he was held hostage and fly out of the giant tuna just as it explodes. Theres a brief jump cut to a Transformer (one of the racist caricature ones) on the surface of Jupiter and they watch the explosion; thats how big the explosion will be. The end of the movie is Einstein and the President, covered in mechanical tuna, hover-jetskiing back to the mainland. What day is it? asks Einstein. It's Wednesday... eh, it's Tuesday, I think, replies the President. Think the tide's with us? asks Einstein. Keep throttling, says the President. I used to hate the water, says Einstein. I cant imagine why, says the President. Then, the camera pans backward and Hitlers head pops up out of the water. He is still alive. However, the Presidents fighter jet from earlier in the sandwich finally lands on him with a big ass thud.

Cut to a housecat taking a nap on a sleeping Brad Pitt. Brad Pitt wakes up and goes into the kitchen to make himself a salami sandwich with artichoke hearts and olives. He realizes that he doesnt have any mayonnaise, so he goes to the store, leaving the piece of salami lying motionless on the wooden cutting board. The housecat jumps up and eats the salami. Cut to Brad Pitt at the store, buying a loaf of bread. He walks out to his car and is mauled by a sabertooth tiger in the parking lot.

DINNER PLAN

Lisa Needs Braised Ribs!

Ingredients: 2 tablespoons canola oil 6 flank-style short ribs with bones, cut 2 inches thick 1 large onion, finely chopped 2 carrots, sliced 3 celery ribs, sliced 3 garlic cloves, thickly sliced 1 750-milliliter bottle dry red wine 4 thyme sprigs 3 cups chicken stock kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

First. In a large skillet, heat the oil. Season the ribs with salt and pepper. Add them to the skillet and cook over moderate heat, turning once, until browned and crusty (Hey! Hey!), about 18 minutes. Transfer the ribs to a shallow baking dish in a single layer. Then. Add the onion, carrots, celery and garlic to the skillet and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until very soft and lightly browned (like Dr. Hibbard!), about 20 minutes. Add the wine and thyme sprigs and bring to a boil over high heat. Pour the hot marinade over the ribs and let cool. Cover and refrigerate overnight, turning the ribs once. Then. Preheat the oven to 350. Transfer the ribs and marinade to a large, enameled cast-iron casserole. Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil. Cover and cook in the lower third of the oven for 1 1/2 hours, until the meat is tender (like Moe!) but not falling apart. Uncover and braise for 45 minutes longer, turning the ribs once or twice, until the sauce is reduced by about half and the meat is very tender. Then. Transfer the meat to a clean shallow (like Mr. Burns!) baking (like Otto!) dish (like Marge!), discarding the bones as they fall off. Strain the sauce into a heatproof measuring cup and skim off as much fat as possible. Pour the sauce over the meat; there should be about 2 cups. Finally. Preheat the broiler. Broil the meat, turning once or twice, until glazed and sizzling, about 10 minutes. Transfer the meat to plates, spoon the sauce on top and serve.

#sixseasonsandamacaroni
Ingredients: Dash Salt Dash Pepper Dash Chili Powder Dash Parsley Dash Garlic Powder Dash Caraway Seed 3 1/2 c. uncooked elbow macaroni 3/4 - 1 lb. grated cheese 6 c. milk 5 tbsp. butter

First. Melt butter in 9 x 13 inch pan. Then. Pour uncooked macaroni into melted butter. Stir well until coated. Then. Stir six seasons and cheese through macaroni. Pour milk over all. Then. Bake at 375 degrees for 1 hour. Do not stir while baking. Finally. Start an online petition to bring Firefly back.

One of my lifes great regrets is that we never got to do a Family Matters movie. All Miller-Boyett cared about was an Urkel movie. There was an Urkel vehicle bouncing around Hollywood at the time. Jaleel White requested too much money and they went in another direction with the script. The name of the movie they ended up making? Training Day.

Breaking Bad is no doubt one of my favorite shows, but I was breaking Bad before it was cool. Flash back to 1987. Im a security guard for Michael Jackson. Long story short, Im no longer allowed within 500 feet of Michael Jackson.

A Very Special Empanada

Ingredients: 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 1/2 cup shortening 1 1/4 cups water, or as needed 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 small onion, chopped 1 1/2 pounds ground beef 1 pinch salt 2 tablespoons paprika 1 tablespoon cumin 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper 1/2 cup raisins 1 tablespoon white vinegar 2 hard-cooked eggs, peeled and chopped 1 quart oil for frying, or as needed

First. In a medium bowl, stir together the flour and salt. Cut in shortening using a pastry blender, or pinching into small pieces using your fingers, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Use a fork to stir in water a few tablespoons at a time, until the mixture forms a ball. Pat into a ball, and flatten slightly. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour, not unlike Cherie in that one episode of Punky Brewster. Then. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until tender. Crumble in the beef, and season with salt, paprika, cumin and black pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until beef is browned. Drain excess grease, and stir in the raisins and vinegar. Refrigerate until chilled, then stir in the hard-cooked eggs, similar to the emotions stirred up when Edith Bunker was nearly raped in that one episode of All In The Family. Then. Form the dough into 2 inch balls. On a floured surface, roll each ball out into a thin circle. Spoon some of the meat mixture onto the center, then fold into half-moon shapes. Seal edges by pressing with your fingers, kinda like what Gordon Jump attempted to do to Arnold in that one episode of Diffrent Strokes. Finally. Heat oil in a deep-fryer to 365 degrees F (180 degrees C). Place one or two pies into the fryer at a time. Cook for about 5 minutes, turning once to brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels, and serve hot, much like the heat generated when that one guy on Beverly Hills 90210 accidentally shot himself in the head.

The Big Pork Butt Cook

Presented by Guest Chef Brett Ratner
Ingredients: 1 (4 lb) pork shoulder butt, roast 1 whole garlic clove (optional, use as many as desired) 1/3 cup Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce 3/4 cup light brown sugar 1 1/4 cups unsweetened apple juice 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper (or to taste)

First. Make small slits all over the roast then insert a whole garlic clove into each slit. This is optional, I just really like saying slit. Then. Place the roast in a greased casserole dish with a lid. Then. Sprinkle the roast on all sides with Worcestershire sauce, much like audiences sprinkled in to see 2004s After the Sunset, amirite? Then. Let sit at room temperature for 1-1/2 hours, roughly the length of Money Talks. Then. After 1-1/2 hours, wake up and spoon any Worcestershire sauce (if any) back on the roast that has accumulated on the bottom of the casserole. My nickname around Hollywood is the bottom of the casserole. Then. Using hands press the brown sugar well into the meat on all sides making certain to adhere the sugar to the meat, similar to how Chris Tucker really adhered to the meaty mixture of action and comedy in Rush Hour 3. Then. Pour the apple juice into Brett Ratner the bottom of the casserole. Then. Cover tightly. Then. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F for 15 minutes. Dont tell me about 15 minutes! Then. Place the roast in the oven and immediately reduce the temperature down to 200 degrees F or else youll ruin it like I ruined the X-Men franchise. Then. Roast for about 4 hours (seemingly the length of The Family Man) or until the meat is falling-apart tender (cooking time will vary depending on the size of the roast). Then. Stir the salt (Brett Ratner) and black pepper (Eddie Murphy) into the juice (Oscars). Finally. Slice meat as desired.

Chili T-Dogs

First. Heat skillet over medium high heat. Then. Add olive oil and meat and season with salt and pepper. Then. Help Dale fix the radiator hose. Then. Brown and crumble beef. Then. Add Worcestershire, onion, garlic, chili powder, and cook together for 5 minutes. Then. Add tomato sauce and reduce heat to low. Then. Meanwhile, boil franks in shallow pan. Then. Blend into the background. Then. Drain water and return pan to medium heat. Then. Melt butter in skillet and add hot sauce. Then. Let the Asian guy go into that scary hole. Then. Add T-Dogs to pan, browning and crisping the casings in hot sauce and butter. Then. Heat broiler. Then. Place T-Dogs in buns and top with chili and cheese. Then. Refrain from any of that gangster shit. Then. Place T-Dogs under broiler and melt cheese. Finally. Serve immediately after personal redemptive arc.

Pizza House!
Ingredients: 1/4 ounce dry yeast 1 cup water, lukewarm 1 teaspoon sugar 3 cups bread flour 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon olive oil 1/2 cup tomato puree 2 tablespoons tomato paste 1 garlic clove, minced 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped 4 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese 1 non-nude photograph of Hugh Laurie

First. In a glass or plastic bowl, combine yeast, water, and sugar (the water can just be water from the tap, make sure it's below 100F). Then. Stir to dissolve the yeast and let the yeast "bloom" for 15 minutes. Then. Stir in 1 cup flour, add salt, and then stir in another cup of flour (the remaining cup of flour will be your "bench" flour and added flour). Then. Dump mixture onto kneading board and work in last cup of flour, kneading until dough is soft and elastic, but not sticky. Form dough into a ball. Then. In another bowl, pour in the 1 tbsp olive oil and spread around. Then. Coat ball of dough with oil and cover bowl with a damp towel and let dough rise for 40 minutes. Then. Punch down dough (like Don punched Jimmy Barrett) and knead on board about 2 minutes. Dough is now ready to spread in the pan. Then. To avoid sticking of crust, lightly spray pizza pan with olive oil or vegetable oil spray and then work dough to pan (or use free form pan) - this dough is enough for 1 14-in pizza with a thin bottom crust and enough dough around the edge to munch. Then. Combine pureed tomatoes, tomato paste, minced garlic, and basil. Then. Spread onto prepared pizza dough. Then. Top with sliced mozzarella cheese, styling the pizza in the shape of Dr. Gregory Houses face, and and bake at 500F for 11-13 minutes. Finally. Just taste it!

Laurel Canyon Ground Round

Ingredients: 1 pounds ground round (or lean ground beef) 1 egg, beaten cup Panko bread crumbs 1 small onion (chopped) 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup 1 (14 ounce) can beef broth 1 tablespoon cooking oil

First. Combine ground round, egg, Panko bread crumbs, onion, and cup cream of mushroom soup in a large bowl. Then. Divide beef mixture evenly into 6 patties about inch thick patty. Then. Whisk together the remaining cream of mushroom soup and beef broth in a bowl until smooth. Then. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-heat. Cook the burgers until browned, 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Then add the cream of mushroom soup, and beef broth. Then. Pour mixture over the patties, and then reduce heat to low. Simmer until the patties are no longer pink in the center, about 20 minutes or 155F in the center. Finally. Serve with mashed potatoes or noodles.

DAWES!

DAWES-SERTS

[TARTS]
Ingredients: 1 (9 inch) pie crust, baked 1 (4.6 ounce) package non-instant vanilla pudding mix 3 cups milk 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, sliced 1/2 cup fresh blueberries 1 cup fresh peaches, pitted and sliced 1/2 cup fresh raspberries 1 cup kiwi, sliced 1/4 cup any flavor fruit jam

First. Combine pudding mix and milk in a medium saucepan. Cook according to package directions. Pour pudding into pastry shell and refrigerate until cool and firm. Arrange fruit on top of pudding layer. Finally. Place jam in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally until runny. Using a pastry brush, coat fruit with jam. Now hide in the closet and eat the whole thing yourself. You cant take it with you, for the tarts will be left behind.

Did somebody say Left Behind? This one time I was on the set of Turner and Hooch, just doing my thing, which was eating donuts. Im a real method actor. Anyway, I got to feeling a pain on my left buttocks, and lo and behold, it was Hooch, gnawing on my meaty backside. I calmly bludgeoned him to death with a jelly donut. Tom Hanks just starts sobbing uncontrollably. I didnt know he was a jelly donut man.

Crystal Blue Persuasion

Ingredients: 2-4 cups sugar 1 cup water Blue food coloring rough cotton string clean jar or glass pencil or butter knife saucepan and stove 1986 Fleetwood Bounder (optional)

First. Pour the sugar and water into the saucepan. Start with 2 cups of sugar. Add blue food coloring. Then. Heat the mixture over medium heat, while stirring, until it just comes to a boil. Add more sugar until it stops dissolving. Then. Try to avoid letting the mixture get hotter. Keep it near-boiling and stir until the sugar dissolves. This is when mixture becomes clear, without crystals floating in the liquid. Then. Remove the pan from the heat. Set the pan in the refrigerator to cool for about 15 minutes. You want the mixture to be room temperature or cooler before pouring it in the jar. Then. Dampen the cotton string with the syrup mixture. Roll the string in dry sugar. Shake off any excess sugar. Then. Tie the string to a pencil or knife so that you can rest the pencil on top of a clean jar with the string not touching the sides or bottom of the container. Then. Pour the cooled syrup into the jar and add the string. You can cover the top with a paper towel, coffee filter, or piece of waxed paper. Then. Allow the jar to sit undisturbed for 3-7 days. Remove (and eat) any crust of sugar that forms on the top of the liquid. Then. Remove the crystals when you are satisfied with their size. Then.. You can eat the rock candy immediately or you can have Skinny Pete and Badger sell it on the street. Finally. Store rock candy in a dry, sealed container, like a Los Pollos Hermanos fry batter bucket. The candy will stick to itself tight tight tight, so you may wish to wrap it in waxed paper or coat it with confectioner's sugar or chili powder.

Genevieve Krispies
Ingredients: 1/4 cup butter or margarine (1/2 stick) 6 cups Rice Krispies 6 - 10 ozs. Stay Puft brand regular marshmallows (about 40)

First. Open your refrigerator, get butter out from behind miniature altar of Zuul. Then. Melt butter in 3-quart saucepan. Then. Dont think of anything. Clear your mind. Youve only got one crack at this. Then. Add Stay Puft marshmallows and cook over low proton heat, crossing streams constantly, until marshmallows are melted and mixture is syrupy. Turn off proton pack. Then. Add Rice Krispies and stir until well coated. Finally. Press warm mixture evenly and firmly into buttered 13 X 9-inch pan. Cut into squares when cool. But it will never be cool, will it, Genevieve?
