Sweets for the Sweet

Speaking of food, let me add, every child deserves to have at least once in his childhood two special desserts. Children need to watch their being made (but not help in the process), one of them, days before its being served and the other immediately after it comes out of the oven. One is baked on a wooden cutting board in the range oven; the other is shaped in a terra cotta flower pot in the fridge. You can locate the recipes on the Net. The one for the oven is Baked Alaska. [Some people think this is a fish, but it isn’t.] The one for the fridge is Paskha, the traditional Russian Easter dessert. The latter is quite rich and should be sliced thin, like cheesecake. Invite friends in for the Baked Alaska, for it all needs to be eaten. Oven-baked ice cream isn’t a good left-over.
