RECIPE

 FILLET of VENISON

Have as many steaks as there are to be covers (number of people to be served). Trim and flatten into good shape. Lard one side of each steak with tiny strips of pork and lay them in an earthen dish with salt. pepper, a chopped onion, a minced carrot,2 bay leaves, 2 sprigs of thyme, 1/2 cup of salad oil and 1/2 cup of vinegar. Let them steep in this mixture for about 6 hours, turning often. Twenty minutes before serving, drain and wipe them. Fry them to a handsome brown in a little very hot salt pork fat. It must be done quickly or they will become tough. Serve on a hot platter with brown gravy, made from the marinate.

TEN  COMMANDMENTS

The real reason that we can't have the Ten Commandments posted in a courthouse is this: You cannot post "Thou Shalt Not Steal," "Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery," and "Thou Shall Not Lie" in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians...It creates a work environment that they can't function in.
     HOW MOSES GOT THE TEN     COMMANDMENTS


God went to the Arabs and said,
'I have Commandments for you that will make your lives better.'
The Arabs asked, 'What are commandments?'
And the Lord said,
'They are rules for living.'
'Can you give us an example?'
'Thou shall not kill.'
'Not kill? We're not interested.'
So He went to the Blacks and said,
'I have Commandments.'
The Blacks wanted an example, and the Lord said,
'Honor thy Father and Mother.'
'Father? We don't know who our fathers are. We're not interested.'
Then He went to the Mexicans and said,
'I have Commandments.'
The Mexicans also wanted an example, and the Lord said
'Thou shall not steal.'
'Not steal? We're not interested.'
Then He went to the French and said,
'I have Commandments.'
The French too wanted an example and the Lord said,
'Thou shall not commit adultery.'
'Not commit adultery? We're not interested.'
Finally, He went to the Jews and said, 'I have Commandments.'
'Commandments?' They said, 'How much are they?'
'They're free.'
'We'll take 10.'
There, that should offend just about everybody  .
