Hello, NANCY.

It is and it's shameful on my generation for not bringing their children up
right. :/

I see my body aging, but I think I'm stuck at 19 in some ways. :)  I'm old
enough to know better but young enough to not care. :P

What's helped me is programming computers.  Believe it or not, Maura had asked
me for help with a logic problem last semester in her "problems and statistics"
class.  The first thing I did was get out a pad and paper and write a program
to help me figure it out.  Now the program didn't actually /run/, I just
phrased the problem in code and it helped me figure it out. <G>  My advisor
told me that is a good thing that I can deal with logic problems like that.
While I'm no math whiz, I can still do enough to be dangerous and I still will
"flesh" out programs I'm planning on paper.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

      Title: Manicotti (Mamma Leone's)
 Categories: Italian, Pasta, Cheese
      Yield: 6 Servings

      3 c  Sifted all-purpose flour
      4    Eggs
  4 1/2 ts Cold water
           Pinch   salt
      1 tb Olive oil
      3 c  Meat sauce
    1/4 c  Freshly grated Parmesan
           Cheese

MMMMM-------------------STUFFING FOR MANICOTTI------------------------
    3/4 c  Ricotta cheese
    3/4 lb Mozarella cheese, diced
      3    Eggs, lightly beaten
      2 tb Butter
      2 tb Freshly grated Parmesan
           Cheese
    1/2 ts Salt
        pn Black pepper

        Place flour on a pastry board and make a well in the center.
  Break the eggs into the well and add the water, a little at a time,
  and the salt. Knead for about 10 minutes.  Let stand, covered, for
  about 1 hour. Cut dough into 4 pieces and roll as thin as you can.
  Cut into rectangles 4 inches wide by 6 inches long.  Place between
  pieces of waxed paper. You should have about 12 pieces.  Cook, half
  at a time, in 4 quarts salted boiling water with olive oul added.
  Cook for 5 minutes. Drain and place between 2 towels.
        Divide stuffing into 12 parts.  Place a mound of stuffing on
  each dough rectangle about 1/3 inch from a long edge.  Mound should
  be about 1/2 inch thick and 1/2 inch wide.  Fold dough over twice.
  Spread a thin layer of the meat sauce on the bottom of a baking pan.
  Arrange manicotti about 1/4 inch apart in the pan and spoon the rest
  of the sauce over the top. Sprinkle a teaspoon of Parmesan cheese
  over each of the manicotti. Bake in a preheated slow (300 F) oven for
  15 to 20 minutes. Drain the ricotta cheese.  Combine all of the
  ingredients and mix well.

MMMMM

Later,
Sean
