"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?" |

Cut melons of three different colors into melon balls and drain the
balls in a colander. Save the juice to make sherbet.
Make a very strong salad dressing of chicken broth, sherry vinegar,
lemon juice, crushed garlic, salt, pepper and minced fresh tarragon,
chervil and lemon basil.
Dress the drained melon balls and let the dressing sink in for half an
hour. Serve with sliced ham and toast.
NOTES:
* Margaret's X-rated melon balls -- I had a lettuce and tomato
sandwich Saturday with mustard instead of mayonnaise. Better than I
would have feared. But the big discovery of the week is Margaret's
X-rated melon balls. Yield: Serves 4.
* In truth, I have to report that Margaret herself thought the
garlic was too much; but I didn't.
* This recipe is not wholly unrelated to fruit curry, another
godsend for the overplump.
: Difficulty: easy.
: Time: 15 minutes preparation, 30 minutes waiting.
: Precision: no need to measure.
