There is one thing more exasperating than a wife who can cook and won't, and that's a wife who can't cook and will. |

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. |

“Every country possesses, it seems, the sort of cuisine it deserves, which is to say the sort of cuisine it is appreciative enough to want. I used to think that the notoriously bad cooking of the English was an example to the contrary, and that the English cook the way they do because, through sheer technical deficiency, they had not been able to master the art of cooking. I have discovered to my stupefaction that the English cook that way because that is the way they like it." |

Beat egg yolks and sugar until thick. Add Bourbon and Brandy and stir
thoroughly. (The liquor "cooks" the eggs.) Add cream and milk and
continue whipping. Break up the ice cream and add. Beat egg whites
until stiff and fold in. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before
serving. Sprinkle lightly with nutmeg. NOTE1: This is fairly potent
and deceptively smooth, so you might wish to
cut back on the Bourbon and Brandy a little. NOTE2: If you can
get it where you are, then the only ice cream to use in
this recipe is on of the following BLUE BELL CREAMERY flavors -
Natural Vanilla Bean, Homemade Vanilla, or French Vanilla.
NOTE3: Any good bourbon or sour mash will do, but Old Forester seems
to add
a special something to the taste. As for the brandy, don't
waste the
VSOP, but don't use that buck-fifty-a-liter varnish remover
that you
picked up on that last trip to Tijuana, either.
