Two English Girls
Claude: You know nothing of life.
Muriel: What do you know?
Claude: What do you know of love, physical love?
Muriel: Why physical? There is only one: True love.
Claude: True love is physical
Muriel: You talk too much. A Continental gentleman should realize when his listener is tired.
The Face of Another
Mr. Okuyama: Civilization demands light, even at night.
Wife: That may be.
Mr. Okuyama: But a man without a face is free only when darkness rules the world.... Isn't that why deep-sea fish are so grotesque?
Wife: How can you compare yourself to---
Mr. Okuyama: Compare myself?!... I live locked in darkness ten times deeper.
maybe… NEVER!
Stuffed sweet peppers for Passover
I came up with this recipe right when I saw these sweet peppers at the Queens grocery where I love to shop. I thought they would make just the great stuffed peppers (size-wise as well). The end result was a fusion of traditional Turkish and Ladino-Jewish cuisine: For my meat stuffing mix instead of rice, I used matzah that I drenched in water. I seasoned the stuffing with garlic, onions, ginger and fresh mint!
Peppers filled, ready for cooking!
Throw them in the pan, throw the caps in too! & Pour the tomato sauce and let them cook altogether.
Voilà! ..for your next Passover meal ~ see you in a year!
Through a Glass Darkly
Minus: I'm an artist.
Karin: Artist?
Minus: Yes, Princess! An artist of the purest kind: a poet without poems, a painter without paintings, a musician without notes. I scorn ready-made art, the banal result of vulgar effort. My life is my work and it is dedicated to my love for you.
