How to Turn a Disagreement into a Feud: 1. Be sure to develop and maintain a healthy fear of conflict, letting your own feelings build up so you are in an explosive frame of mind. 2. If you must state your concerns, be as vague and general as possible. Then the other person cannot do anything practical to change the situation. 3. Assume you know all the facts and you are totally right. The use of a clinching Bible verse is helpful. Speak prophetically for truth and justice; do most of the talking. 4. With a touch of defiance, announce your willingness to talk with anyone who wishes to discuss the problem with you. But do not take steps to initiate such conversation. 5. Latch tenaciously onto whatever evidence you can find that shows the other person is merely jealous of you. 6. Judge the motivation of the other party on any previous experience that showed failure or unkindness. Keep track of any angry words. 7. If the discussion should, alas, become serious, view the issue as a win/lose struggle. Avoid possible solutions and go for total victory and unconditional surrender. Don't get too many options on the table. 8. Pass the buck! If you are about to get cornered into a solution, indicate you are without power to settle; you need your partner, spouse, bank, whatever (Ron Kraybill).

INSTRUCTIONS

Peel the potatoes and soak them in salted water. (This will prevent
discoloration.) Grate the potatoes and then grind them fine in a food
grinder. Combine the potatoes with the egg, flour, salt and pepper and oil.
Mix well. In one-sixteenth inch of oil, panfry a few pancakes at a time
until they are golden brown and crisp on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes per
side. Remove to paper towels to drain. Serve warm with sour cream and
applesauce. This recipe makes about 1 dozen pancakes. Note: Use a mounded
tablespoon to measure out the batter and flatten into a 4-inch circle in
the hot oil. These pancakes should be thin and crispy.
Comments: This dish is Russian, it is Jewish, it is peasant, it is
delicious. When Russian immigrants came to these shores they found potatoes
were even more plentiful here than in the homeland. So what do you eat?
