Evan Almighty, starring Steve Carell and
Morgan Freeman, has to be one of my favorite movies of all
time. It is about a news man who gets elected to the U.S.
congress with hopes of changing the world. Along the way God
shows him what it will take to do that and Evan experiences
what it is like to stand for something in the face of
adversity. To get the movie click on the image at left. To get

Romanian Panetone dough: 2 lbs/1 kg flour, 10 oz/300 g sugar, 1 1/2
cups milk, 6 eggs, 2 oz/50 g yeast, 7 oz/200 g butter, 2 tablespoons
oil, vanilla stick, salt, egg for washing the dough, grease for the
pans.
Make a starter from yeast and a teaspoon of sugar. Mix until the
consistency of sour cream, add 2-3 tablespoons tepid milk, a little
flour and mix well; sprinkle some flour on top, cover and let sit in a
warm place to rise. Boil the milk with the vanilla stick (cut in very
small pieces) and leave it on the side of the range, covered, to keep
warm. Mix the yolks with the sugar and salt, then slowly pour the tepid
milk, stirring continuously. Place the risen starter in a large bowl
and pour, stirring continuously, the yolk-milk mixture and some flour,
a little at a time. Then add 3 whipped egg whites. When you finish this
step, start kneading. Knead, adding melted butter combined with oil, a
little at a time, until the dough starts to easily come off your palms.
Cover with a cloth and then something thicker (like a blanket). Leave
in a warm place to triple in bulk. If during kneading the dough seems
too hard, you may add a little milk. If, on the contrary, the dough
seems too soft, you may add a little flour.
Filling: 10 oz/300 g ground walnuts, 1 cup milk, 3/4 cup sugar, 1/4
cup rum, vanilla Melt the sugar in the warm milk with vanilla in a pot
on the range. When the sugar is melted, add the walnuts and keep
stirring. After a few minutes of boiling, and after the filling has
thickened, remove from heat and add rum. When the filling is cold, roll
a sheet of dough about one finger thick, uniformly spread the walnut
filling on top and roll like a jelly roll. Grease a bread pan, place
the roll inside, let rise for a while. Wash with egg and bake at medium
heat. Take out of the pan as soon as it is done, place on a cloth and
let cool.
