Cooking instruction summary:

Procedures 1 Place a silicon baking mat (such as a Silpat) or a large sheet of parchment paper on a flat work surface, and have ready another mat or sheet of parchment paper. Place the sugar in a heavy saucepan and add enough water to cover the sugar. Cook the sugar, without stirring, until it turns into a dark caramel, about 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of the butter and cinnamon. Scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean into the caramel and stir to blend. Pour the caramel mixture onto the center of the mat or parchment paper on the work surface, then place the second mat or sheet of parchment paper on top. Using a rolling pin, flatten the caramel carefully and allow it to cool and set. Break the caramel mixture into small pieces, then place them in a food processor and grind them into a fine powder. 2 Preheat the oven to 325°F. Lightly coat an 8-inch round cake pan with the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and sprinkle in a little of the cinnamon-caramel powder. Slice the apples crosswise, as thinly as possible. Arrange half of the apple slices over the cinnamon-caramel powder in the pan, forming one layer and overlapping slightly. Cover the apples with a few spoonfuls of the cinnamon-caramel powder and repeat with the remaining apple slices and caramel powder. 3 Cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour, or until the apples are cooked through, tender, and just slightly caramelized. Remove the foil and bake an additional 20 minutes, allowing the excess moisture to evaporate. Transfer the pan to a rack and allow the apples to cool. Meanwhile, increase the oven temperature to 400°F. 4 Place the cold puff pastry round, centered, on top of the pan over the cooled apples. Cover with a large sheet of parchment paper and top with a baking sheet, then invert the apple cake onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. If necessary, recenter the inverted cake pan on top of the puff pastry dough, leaving a 1-inch border of dough around the pan. Remove the cake pan, revealing the layers of baked apples. Lightly brush the exposed dough with the beaten egg and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and has puffed evenly around the apple filling. Cool slightly, then slice into wedges and serve.

Food Joke

One thing that has always bugged me, and I'm sure it does most of you, is to sit down at the dinner table only to be interrupted by a phone call from a telemarketer. I decided, on one such occasion, to try to be as irritating as they were to me. The call was from AT&T and it went something like this: Me: Hello AT&T: Hello, this is AT&T... Me: Is this AT&T? AT&T: Yes, this is AT&T... Me: This is AT&T? AT&T: Yes This is AT&T... Me: Is this AT&T? AT&T: YES! This is AT&T, may I speak to Mr. Byron please? Me: May I ask who is calling? AT&T: This is AT&T. Me: OK, hold on. At this point I put the phone down for a solid 5 minutes thinking that, surely, this person would have hung up the phone. I ate my salad. Much to my surprise, when I picked up the receiver, they were still waiting. Me: Hello? AT&T: Is this Mr. Byron? Me: May I ask who is calling please? AT&T: Yes this is AT&T... Me: Is this AT&T? AT&T: Yes this is AT&T... Me: This is AT&T? AT&T: Yes, is this Mr. Byron? Me: Yes, is this AT&T? AT&T: Yes sir. Me: The phone company? AT&T: Yes sir. Me: I thought you said this was AT&T. AT&T: Yes sir, we are a phone company. Me: I already have a phone. AT&T: We aren't selling phones today Mr. Byron. Me: Well whatever it is, I'm really not interested but thanks for calling. When you are not interested in something, I don't think you can express yourself any plainer than by saying "I'm really not interested," but this lady was persistent. AT&T: Mr. Byron, we would like to offer you 10 cents a minute, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Now, I am sure she meant she was offering a "rate" of 10 cents a minute, but she at no time used the word "rate." I could clearly see that it was time to whip out the trusty old calculator and do a little ciphering. Me: Now, that's 10 cents a minute 24 hours a day? AT&T: Yes sir, that's right! 24 hours a day! Me: 7 days a week? AT&T: That's right. Me: 365 days a year? AT&T: Yes sir. Me: I am definitely interested in that! Wow! That's amazing! AT&T: We think so! Me: That's quite a sum of money! AT&T: Yes sir, it's amazing how it adds up. Me: OK, so will you send me checks weekly, monthly or just one big one at the end of the year for the full $52,560, and if you send an annual check, can I get a cash advance? AT&T: Excuse me? Me: You know, the 10 cents a minute. AT&T: What are you talking about? Me: You said you'd give me 10 cents a minute, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. That comes to $144 per day, $1,008 per week and $52,560 per year. I'm just interested in knowing how you will be making payment. AT&T: Oh no, sir, I didn't mean we'd be paying you. You pay us 10 cents a minute. Me: Wait a minute here! Didn't you say you'd give me 10 cents a minute? Are you sure this is AT&T? AT&T: Well, yes this is AT&T sir but... Me: But nothing, how do you figure that by saying that you'll give me 10 cents a minute that I'll give you 10 cents a minute? Is this some kind of subliminal telemarketing scheme? I've read about things like this in the Enquirer, you know. Don't use your alien brainwashing techniques on me. AT&T: No sir, we are offering 10 cents a minute for... Me: THERE YOU GO AGAIN! Can I speak to a supervisor please! AT&T: Sir, I don't think that is necessary. Me: Sure! You say that now! What happens later? AT&T: What? Me: I insist on speaking to a supervisor! AT&T: Yes Mr. Byron. Please hold. So now AT&T has me on hold and my supper is getting cold. I begin to eat while I'm waiting for a supervisor. After a wait of a few minutes and while I have a mouth full of food: Supervisor: Mr. Byron? Me: Yeth? Supervisor: I understand you are not quite understanding our 10 cents.
