There are three possible parts to a date, of which at least two must be offered: entertainment, food, and affection. It is customary to begin a series of dates with a great deal of entertainment, a moderate amount of food, and the merest suggestion of affection. As the amount of affection increases, the entertainment can be reduced proportionately. When the affection IS the entertainment, we no longer call it dating. Under no circumstances can the food be omitted. |

In a bowl whisk together the flour, the baking powder, and the salt,
stir in the water, and knead the mixture on a floured surface until
it forms a soft but not sticky dough. Let the dough stand, covered
with a kitchen towel, for 15 minutes. Pull off egg-size pieces of the
dough and oat and stretch them into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Poke a
hole witha finger through the center of each round so that the breads
will fry evenly. In a large heavy skillet heat the shortening over
moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking, in it fry the
rounds, 1 at a time, for 2 minutes on each side, or until they are
golden, and transfer the breads as they are fried to paper towels to
drain. Source: Gourmet Magazine
