Pna ie -The Michionn aily -Weekend etc. - Anril iR.19 a The Michigan Daily --Weekenc Recipe contest winners taste rich T he quantity and quality of recipes I received was encouraging; I thank everyone who took the timhe to send in their recipes (I received over 70), especially the women's field hockey team, who sent in more than 20 recipes. I also have to thank White Market, for providing prizes. Since I received so many entries, it was im- e as - possible to prepare all of them. I se- lected several that I thought showed exceptional potential, and cooked them up. Almost all the entries satis- fied the four college food groups - cheap, easy, fast, and good - so I lookedforrecipes with awideappeal. Both winners (and the honorable mention) satisfied this final criteria. Since I'm graduating, this is my last column - thank you again for all your letters, recipes and encouraging words. Good luck in the kitchen.

HONORABLiE MENTION - Devil's Night Comestible Sauce his one, from Deborah Deckert, was byfar the weirdest entryin the contest- and igot some really weird entries.

Combine all ingredients in a sauce pan, and simmer on low heat for about an hour. Pour Into a bottle, and keep on the top shelf of your cupboard -way out of the reach of children. The worst of. the worst on your television by Stephen Henderson D avid Letterman gets a crack at doing the top ten every night on his show. So, I figured I'd scrape to- gether a top 10 list of my own -- in keeping with Weekend etc.'s motif this week. But then I realized that I'm not David Letterman, and I'certainly don't host a top-rated talk show. In fact, I'm just some two-bit TV columnist for a weekly college pa- per. Moreover, my editors would never give me the space to be as funny as Letterman. So I've settled on a mediocre compromise: my take on the five worst things about the tube: 5. Beverly Hills 90210: No "worst of" list would be complete without this show, which would best even a nationally broad- cast KKK rally as the whitest show in America. This show's producers never even make a token effort at showing that anything other than a bunch of WASPs live in this coun- try. In one episode, however, the show's stars did venture to "the bad side of town." And if I see one more adolescent male with Perry, Priestly- like sideburns, I'm gonna shave them off with a rusty knife. 4. The Jerry Springer, Jenny Jones, Montel Williams, Maury Povich and Sally Jessy Raphael shows: Whatever happened to standards? It was bad enough when Oprah and Geraldo got their own shows, but with the recent onslaught of prying, probing, talking heads preaching down to "teenagers who can't wait to get plastic surgery," it seems like any schlep can get their own show. the little plctvre And who's next? I certainly don't relish the day when one of the net- works gives local anchor Bill Bonds his own soapbox. (Don't look now, but he's been talking about it) 3. Hammer Man Cartoon: Pleeeeeze, Hammer, don't hurt us! This obnoxious addition to ABC's Saturday morning lineup proved to be more egoistic than Hammer himself. His poorly drawn and animated cartoon character fends off the villains in "Oaktown" by dan- cing with two talking, laser-shooting shoes on his feet. ABC has thank- fully given Hammer the ax next fall. 2. American Detective, Cops, Top Cops, FBI: The Untold Stories, Rescue 911: This new show genre flooded the small screen the past year in an ob- vious, pathetic attempt to restore some of our shaken faith in autho- rity. They glorify those who "protect and serve" to the point of annoyance, and reinforce that "crime just doesn't pay." Can you imagine a lo- cal version of one of these shows? "Next, on Top Cops in Ann Arbor, our men and women in Blue subdue a celebrating crowd of students with tear gas and billy clubs!" 1. The Juice Man, Ronco Food Dehydrator, Tommy "Why can't you do this??" Wu, Kenny Rogers' Golf tips (what???) and Lori Davis! Cher Focus on Beauty half-hour commercials: I remember when, at about two a.m., all the stations aired a stirring, patriotic rendition of "The Star Spangled Banner" and then called it a night - nothing but static or test patterns until sunrise. But now, late- night insomniacs are bombarded by half-hour commercials, for every- thing from get-rich-quick schemes and food mutilators to bargain- basement beauty products. Who would fall for schlock like that? Anyway, I've gotta go now. The turkeyjerky I just made in my new food dehydrator is ready. ,.,Y STUDENTS LEAVING ANN Bi enstye .. .,When you're just hanging S ut, slip into Birkenstock?
