Are you a cynic? Let’s take a moment for a little self-examination. Do you have difficulty seeing people and situations from a positive perspective? Are you quick to point out problems in a situation, but rarely if ever offer solutions? Do you give suggestions without ever offering to help? Do you speak negatively of others behind their backs? Do you find it easy to complain? Are you one that is rarely seen smiling? Are you often compelled to give a critical opinion in your effort to “help?” Do you assume the worst in someone? Do you fear failure? Do you judge others motives? Are you harsh, insensitive or abrasive? Do you delight in airing your own opinion? Do you negate someone’s idea without ever considering it? Do you enjoy passing judgment? Do others have difficulty being in your company and sharing their thoughts with you?

SAUCE
In a dry 3 quart heavy saucepancook 1/4 cup sugar, undisturbed, over
moderate heat until it begins to melt and cook, stir with a fork until
melted completely and deep golden brown. Remove pan from heat and dip
briefly in a bowl of ice water to stop cooking. Caramel will harden. Cool
pan about 5 min and return to heat. Add milk and cook over moderate heat,
whisking, until caramel is melted. Whisk in cocoa until well blended and
keep mixture warm. In a metal bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering
water melt chocolate, stirring, and remove from heat. In the bowl of an
electric mixer beat egg yolks with remaining 3/4 cup sugar until thick and
pale. Whisk in caramel mixture and chocolate in streams, whisking until
combined. Pour custard into another 3 quart heavy saucepan and cook over
moderately low heat, stirring constantly, until a candy thermometer
registers 140 F. Cook custard, stirring (do not let boil), 4 minutes more
and remove pan from the heat. Cool custard completely and freeze in an ice
cream maker. May be made 1 week ahead.

moderate heat until it begins to melt and continue to cook, stirring with a

zest 15 seconds and drain. Return caramel to moderate heat and add orange
juice and zest, whisking until caramel is melted completely. Whisk in
preserves or marmalade until combined well. Remove from heat and stir in
liqueur. Makes about 1 1/2 cups. Source: Gourmet Sept 1994 Typed by: Sharon
