- The whole family helped on this one. That's one of the reasons that we like making pizza so much. That it tastes so wonderful doesn't hurt either! In addition to simple cheese pizzas for the kids, we make an artichoke pizza for the adults. |

George (May 01 2003 23:59 GMT) - First of May is public holiday in Germany, just after thirtieth of April which is national holiday in Holland. You could already tell this on Wednesday, when supermarket queues were prohibitively long, making the prospect of ensuring non-starvance for that day even less attractive. But I managed. Following a tradition that Yassin started in our first year, he treated a whole bunch of friends to a specialty: Puré |

Lucy Lucy (May 01 2003 23:58 GMT) - : Buster Keaton offers Lucille Ball a succinct explanation as to why her career never took off in the movies, even after she had done about 50 B pictures: "Louis B. never understood us clowns." Success only blossomed for Lucille Ball, CBS' three-hour "Lucy" informs us, when she embraced her value as a clown and played it to the hilt, a possibility afforded by television and a recurring character that doesn't happen on the bigscreen. Other than that, though, "Lucy" treads water as it plods through oft-told chapters of the Desi-Lucy romance and business breakthroughs between 1940 and 1960. |
