TRIBUNE CONTENT GENCY

South was the late Albert

Dormer of Scotland, better known

as a bridge journalist but he was

also a ?ne bridge player. The

actual auction is lost to posterity,

but in the days before transfers,

the given auction is possible.

West continued with a second

diamond, obviously hoping for

a ruff. Dormer won the king of

diamonds in dummy and led a high

trump, covered by the queen and

ace. Had Dormer continued with

a second trump, East would have

won and given West a diamond

ruff. West would exit safely with

a club and wait patiently for his

spade trick, thus defeating the

contract.

Instead, Dormer made the farsighted play of cashing the ace

and king of clubs, then ruf?ng

a club before playing a second

trump. East won the trump king

and gave partner a diamond ruff.

With no club for an exit, West was

forced to lead a spade from his

king and present Dormer with his

contract. Well played!

East, of course, could have led

a spade rather than a diamond,

securing West¡¯s spade trick, but

the defense could not get both a

spade trick and a diamond ruff.

Dormer¡¯s play in the club suit

would not always work out this

well, but it was the ideal solution

on this hand.

WHAT¡¯S FOR DINNER?

BY JULIE ROTHMAN

THE BALTIMORE SUN

Chocolate-covered matzo is a delicious treat. This

recipe comes from ¡°The Treasury of Jewish Holiday

Baking¡± by Marcy Goldman.

It¡¯s simple to make, and her basic recipe lends itself

to plenty of variations. Feel free to substitute coarsely chopped white chocolate for dark, or drizzle the

white over the chocolate or vice versa. I like to add a

sprinkling of sea salt or kosher salt, which gives the

chocolate matzo a delightfully appealing sweet-andsalty taste.

Chopped slivered almonds or pistachios, or even

toasted coconut, also make a nice addition. Or you can

omit the chocolate altogether to make a caramel-only

butter crunch version.

This highly addictive dessert is great to make any

time of year. You can make it ahead and even double

or triple the recipe.

Chocolate-Covered Matzo

4 to 6 unsalted matzo sheets

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter or

unsalted Passover margarine

1 cup ?rmly packed brown sugar

? cup coarsely chopped chocolate

chips or semi-sweet chocolate

Preheat the oven to 375 F.

Line a large cookie sheet (or two

smaller sheets) completely with

foil. Cover the bottom of the sheet

with baking parchment ¡ª on top of

the foil. This is very important because the mixture becomes sticky

during baking.

Line the bottom of the cookie

sheet evenly with the matzos, cutting extra pieces, as required, to ?t

any spaces.

In a 3-quart, heavy-bottomed

saucepan, combine the butter or

margarine and the brown sugar.

Cook over medium heat, stirring

constantly, until the mixture comes

to a boil (about 2 to 4 minutes). Boil

for 3 minutes, stirring constantly.

Remove from heat and pour over

the matzo, covering completely.

Place the baking sheet in the

oven and immediately reduce the

heat to 350 F. Bake for 15 minutes,

checking every few minutes to

make sure the mixture is not burning (if it seems to be browning too

quickly, remove the pan from the

oven, lower the heat to 325 F, and

replace the pan).

Remove from the oven and

sprinkle immediately with the

chopped chocolate or chips. Let

stand for 5 minutes, and then

spread the melted chocolate over

the matzo. If using nuts, sprinkle

on top of melted chocolate.

While still warm, break into

squares or odd shapes. Chill, still

in the pan, in the refrigerator until

set.

Note: Bigar¡¯s Stars is based on the degree of your sun at

birth. The sign name is simply a label astrologers put on a

set of degrees for convenience. For best results, readers

should refer to the dates following each sign.

Happy birthday for Thursday, June 5, 2014:

This year you might not be aware of the mixed messages

you send. Don¡¯t be surprised if you get some strange looks

or reactions. If you are single, you will have many choices of

potential suitors. As a result, a commitment from you could

be hard to get; you might be having too much fun. If you

are attached, the two of you often seem to be working from

different points of view. Somehow you will manage to have a

meeting of the minds. Others sense your enjoyment of life,

and friends frequently invite the two of you out. Virgo tends to

overthink like you do.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You¡¯ll Have: 5-Dynamic;

4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Dif?cult

ARIES (March 21-April 19) ¡ï¡ï¡ï¡ï ¡ª Make time to reach out

to someone you deal with on a regular basis. Tension might

build around a money matter. Optimism seems to surround a

roommate or family member. Though you enjoy this perspective, you might wish it were more realistic. Tonight: Go with a

suggestion.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ¡ï¡ï¡ï¡ï ¡ª Your imagination could

go haywire, visiting nearly every topic except the one that is

pertinent to the moment. Attempts to discipline your mind

might fail. If you can, take a personal day, or take off half the

day. You will feel refreshed soon enough. Tonight: Let the fun

begin.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ¡ï¡ï¡ï¡ï ¡ª Pressure builds on

the homefront. A partner, family member or roommate could

become demanding, or a problem involving your home might

become more obvious. Don¡¯t expect to accomplish a lot with

this issue looming over you. Tonight: Paint the town red.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) ¡ï¡ï¡ï¡ï ¡ª Listen to news more

openly. Your perspective could change, and you also might

have a more active interaction as a result. The experience

might make you feel more sure of yourself as well. A discussion in private will give you more information. Tonight: Hang

out.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) ¡ï¡ï¡ï ¡ª Sometimes you underestimate the effect you have on others. Therefore, you¡¯ll make

a point of being very dramatic. Trust that you don¡¯t need to

present an exaggerated form of yourself. Refuse to become

critical of someone. Tonight: Live it up, as only you can.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ¡ï¡ï¡ï¡ï ¡ª You might wonder what

is needed to follow through on a long-term commitment. You

could be even more detail-oriented than usual, but in this

case, you¡¯ll be helping others involved see the big picture.

Confusion seems to surround a partner. Tonight: Keep your

own counsel.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ¡ï¡ï¡ï¡ï ¡ª How you deal with a

loved one could change radically because of the confusion

that surrounds this person. You might want to be very clear

in your communication, as he or she will be dif?cult to get

through to. Tonight: Meet friends for a fun happening.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ¡ï¡ï¡ï¡ï¡ï ¡ª A boss or higher-up

could be cheering you on, despite what you might think. Give

up a newfound level of fussiness, and open up to a loved

one. Consider the possibility of a long-term trip with a fun

orientation. Tonight: Think about your weekend plans.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ¡ï¡ï¡ï¡ï ¡ª You might ?nd

that taking the lead could entail far more responsibility than

you had originally thought. Loosen up, and stay on top of a

project. Others might be withholding what they know. Make

it a point to open up when others reveal some information.

Tonight: Till the wee hours.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ¡ï¡ï¡ï¡ï ¡ª You could have

dif?culty letting go of a problem. You might feel as if you

have to shake a friend or loved one just to get him or her to

listen to you. It is possible that this person is not as relaxed

as you originally believed. Remain sensitive. Tonight: A must

appearance.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ¡ï¡ï¡ï¡ï ¡ª You might want

to move forward. Get someone¡¯s support by sharing your

thoughts and by incorporating some of his or her feedback.

Optimism seems to surround a personal issue. As a result,

you will be able to infuse those around you with energy and

conviction. Tonight: Be a duo.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ¡ï¡ï¡ï¡ï ¡ª You might want

to open up a discussion about a key decision. The more

feedback you get, the stronger you will become. You also will

make a better decision. Someone you keep reaching out to

seems to be unavailable. Tonight: Go along with someone

else¡¯s wishes.
