Proverbs Plus He is most cheated who cheats himself. -- Danish Proverb And Then There's...   Man is the only kind of varmint who sets his own trap, baits it, then steps on it. -- John Steinbeck  Reader's Digest CyberSmiles Sitting in his cab waiting for a fare, my friend's husband, William, watched as a torrential downpour left lake-size puddles just off the curb of the busy street. Then the back door opened and a customer got in. As William asked the destination, the would-be passenger exited through the other door, successfully avoiding the puddles. "Thanks," she said. "Chivalry isn't dead after all."  --Contributed to "All In a Day's Work" by Robert Gardinier Smiles, grins & humor from the files of Reader's Digest! The Recipe File Desserts: Orange Almond Biscotti from Great Lake Effects...  Buffalo Beyond Winter and Wings INGREDIENTS: 3-1/4 cups flour 1 Tablespoon baking powder 3/4 cup sugar 1/2 cup butter, softened 5 eggs 2 Tablespoons grated orange peel 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract 2/3 cup chopped almonds TO PREPARE:   Combine the flour and baking powder in a bowl and mix well. Beat the sugar and butter in a mixer bowl until pale yellow, scraping the bowl occasionally.  Beat in the eggs, orange peel and vanilla until mixed.  Add the flour mixture, beating until mixed; the dough will be sticky. Stir in the almonds. Divide the dough into 3 equal portions.  Wrap each portion in plastic wrap. Chill for 3 hours or until firm.  Shape each portion into a 12-inch log on a lightly floured surface.  Arrange the logs 3 inches apart on 2 greased cookie sheets. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes or until firm in the center and slightly cracked on top. Cool on the cookie sheets on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Transfer the logs carefully to a cutting board.  Cut each log diagonally into 15 slices using a serrated knife. Arrange the slices cut side down on a cookie sheet. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until the cookies are dry and light brown, turning once.  Remove to a wire rack to cool completely. .
