remaining shanks. Pat the shanks to remove excess flour. Discard any remaining flour. Set aside. Heat oil until very hot in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the shanks, and brown them well on all sides (you will have to do this in batches). Remove the shanks to a dish, and set aside (there will be juices so the dish should not be flat). Without cleaning the pot, add the onions, garlic, celery and carrots to the pot, and cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are softened, about 8 minutes. Add remaining ingredients, and stir well. Add the shanks back to the pot (and any juices), and bring to a boil. Remove pot from stove, cover with a lid and place in preheated oven. Cook for about 3 hours until the veal is very tender. Adjust salt and pepper to taste, and keep warm until ready to serve. Serve the veal over whipped potatoes, pasta or risotto with the sauce spooned over and sprinkled with gremolata (recipe below). Makes 6 servings. GREMOLATA 2 cups fresh chopped parsley 1 tsp. minced garlic grated zest of 1 lemon salt and pepper to taste Combine all ingredients in a medi- um bowl, and stir well. PEAR AND ALMOND CROSTATA Sometimes I sprinkle a cup of mini chocolate chips over the crostata right when it comes out of the oven. What could be bad? APPLE GRILL ASIAN CUISINE 110 6 firm, ripe pears (peeled or unpeeled) halved, cored and cut lengthwise into 1/8 -inch wedges 1 /4 cup sugar 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon 1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg Topping: 1/2 cup sliced almonds, lightly toasted powdered sugar Pulse together the flour, salt and sugar in a food processor. Add the butter. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal. With the motor running, drizzle in the ice water until the dough forms a ball on top of the blade (this should take just a few seconds). Stop processing immediately. Remove pastry from processor, and place onto a lightly floured surface. Pat into a 1-inch- thick flattened dish. Wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Remove pastry from refrigerator, and lightly flour the pastry. Set on a sheet of parchment (the parchment should fit the baking sheet you are using). Roll out the pastry to a 14- to 16-inch round. Arrange the pears over the crust. Fold the edge of the pastry up and over the pears, and press and crimp the edges over the pears (the crust will be irregular, exposing the pears in the center — it should have a rus- tic look). Brush the crust with water, and sprinkle sugar over the crust. Bake the crostata in a preheated 350-degree oven for 1 hour or until the pastry is golden. Cool for at least 30 minutes. To serve, cut into wedg- es, sprinkle the almonds over and around each wedge and dust with powdered sugar. Makes 8-10 servings.

Movement from page 37 bind all human beings together. "Cat's Cradle" features poetry and music written in Theresienstadt. "That someone could create this -- filled with humor and irony — in a place like Theresienstadt, that the human spirit could rise above those circumstances, is so inspiring." Legacy is beautiful to watch, but Dorfman also hopes it leaves audiences filled with compassion, with a better sense for their own histories and the understanding of the fragile ties that Elizabeth Applebaum is a marketing LLAGE ALACE specialist at the Jewish Community Center of Metropolitan Detroit.
