or

"

Carmen

"

!

But

of

course

the

two

don't

go

together,

so

the

average

person

will

have

to

sample

either

by

itself.

Take

for

six

persons

five

yolks

of

eggs

and

beat

them,

with

a

Dover

egg

beater

until

they

are

thick,

adding

for

each

egg

one

and

one-half

tea-

spoonfuls

of

powdered

sugar.

Cook

this

in

a

double

boiler,

beating

constantly,

until

the

mixture

is

light

and

fluffy.

Then

add

drop

by

drop

one

half

egg-shell

full

of

Marsala

wine

for

each

two

eggs.

Serve

at

once

in

cups

or

punch

glasses.

Care

should

be

taken

not

to

cook

this

until

it

curdles,

or

to

put

in

too

much

wine.

It

should

be

of

the

consistency of

whipped

cream.

not

all

because
