"When treasures are recipes they are less clearly, less distinctly remembered than when they are tangible objects. They evoke however quite as vivid a feeling-that is, to some of use who, considering cooking an art, feel that a way of cooking can produce something that approaches an aesthetic emotion. What more can one say? If one had the choice of again hearing Pachmann play the two Chopin sonatas or dining once more at the Cafe Anglais, which would one choose?" |

It's so beautifully arranged on the plate - you know someone's fingers have been all over it. |

Mexican Bean Sandwich
Use chili powder to your personal taste. Salad dressing should be
low-fat mayonnaise type. Beans should be cooked, drained, unsalted,
chopped. (If you use canned beans see the dietary changes below.)
Mix vinegar, chili powder and onion powder with salad dressing in
bowl. Add beans and celery; mix well. Soften tortillas in heated
frying pan for about 1 1/2 minutes. Turn if necessary. Place half of
bean filling onto each tortilla near one edge. Top with lettuce and
tomato. Roll up.
Makes 2 servings - one sandwich each.
Per serving: 175 calories, 3 g fat (15%), 1 mg cholesterol, 53 mg
sodium.
If using canned drained beans, sodium will be 318 mg for pinto beans
and 282 mg sodium for kidney beans.
This combination of raw vegetables and seasonings makes a tasty
sandwich that's high in fiber and low in fat.
