stir together the eggs, spinach, parsley, basil, marjoram, and
pepper; add onion mixture. Stir in croutons and cheese. Drizzle with
water to moisten, tossing lightly. Set aside

If necessary, remove the fell (pinkish red paper-thin layer) from the
surface of meat. Pound meat to an even thickness. Sprinkle with
rosemary. Spread the stuffing over the roast. Roll up and tie meat
securely.

Place roast, seam side down, on a rack in a shallow roasting pan.
Insert a meat thermometer in the thickest potion of meat. Roast,
uncovered, in a 325 F oven for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or till meat
thermometer registers 150 F.

Let roast stand for 15 minutes before carving. Remove strings. If
desired, garnish with sprigs of fresh mint and sprigs of fresh
marjoram.

"Public and private food in America has become eatable, here and there extremely good. Only the fried potatoes go unchanged, as deadly as before."

Luigi Barzini, 'O America' (1977)

"Enchant, stay beautiful and graceful, but do this, eat well. Bring the same consideration to the preparation of your food as you devote to your appearance. Let your dinner be a poem, like your dress."
