TODAY'S RECIPE
  Not-As-Good Chicken Parmesan

(This is a pale reflection of the delicious dish your mother, a marvelous cook, used to make with her own, homemade sauce.)

Ingredients: skinless chicken breasts, a little too much salt, not quite enough bread crumbs and parmesan to cover chicken, canned tomato sauce.

Add too much salt to chicken, dredge in bread crumbs and parmesan, sauté in excessive amount of oil until overcooked, smother in canned tomato sauce.

Serve lukewarm with undercooked pasta and wilted salad. This dish goes well with bitter reflections on your own many failures as a cook and a human being.
 

SOLUTION TO LAST WEEK'S PUZZLE:

MAN IN THE STREET
This week we asked a group of average New Yorkers this question:
Q: "If you were voting today, who would you vote for in the New York senate race?"
Ed, Manhattan: "If I were voting today I'd have no place to go to cast my ballot because the polling places don't open until November 7th! It's a ridiculous question."
Spike, Brooklyn: "The girl's gotta have it."
Woody, Upper East Side: "I don't vote for anyone who would vote for me."
Rodney, Midtown: "I vote for the underdog, whoever that happens to be."
Monica, bi-coastal: "Omigod! The election's today?"
Hillary, Chappaqua: "I'm not registered to vote in this state."
