South was the late AlbertDormer of Scotland, better knownas a bridge journalist but he wasalso a fine bridge player. Theactual auction is lost to posterity,but in the days before transfers,the given auction is possible.West continued with a seconddiamond, obviously hoping fora ruff. Dormer won the king ofdiamonds in dummy and led a hightrump, covered by the queen andace. Had Dormer continued witha second trump, East would havewon and given West a diamondruff. West would exit safely witha club and wait patiently for hisspade trick, thus defeating thecontract.Instead, Dormer made the far-sighted play of cashing the aceand king of clubs, then ruffinga club before playing a secondtrump. East won the trump kingand gave partner a diamond ruff.With no club for an exit, West wasforced to lead a spade from hisking and present Dormer with hiscontract. Well played!East, of course, could have leda spade rather than a diamond,securing West’s spade trick, butthe defense could not get both aspade trick and a diamond ruff.Dormer’s play in the club suitwould not always work out thiswell, but it was the ideal solutionon this hand.

THE BALTIMORE SUN

Chocolate-covered matzo is a delicious treat. Thisrecipe comes from “The Treasury of Jewish HolidayBaking” by Marcy Goldman.

It’s simple to make, and her basic recipe lends itselfto plenty of variations. Feel free to substitute coarse-ly chopped white chocolate for dark, or drizzle thewhite over the chocolate or vice versa. I like to add a

sprinkling of sea salt or kosher salt, which gives thechocolate matzo a delightfully appealing sweet-and-salty taste.

Chopped slivered almonds or pistachios, or eventoasted coconut, also make a nice addition. Or you canomit the chocolate altogether to make a caramel-onlybutter crunch version.

This highly addictive dessert is great to make anytime of year. You can make it ahead and even doubleor triple the recipe.

Chocolate-CoveredMatzo

WHAT’S FOR DINNER?

4 to 6 unsalted matzo sheets1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter orunsalted Passover margarine1 cup firmly packed brown sugar¾ cup coarsely chopped chocolatechips or semi-sweet chocolate

Preheat the oven to 375 F.Line a large cookie sheet (or two

smaller sheets) completely withfoil. Cover the bottom of the sheetwith baking parchment — on top ofthe foil. This is very important be-cause the mixture becomes stickyduring baking.

Line the bottom of the cookie

sheet evenly with the matzos, cut-ting extra pieces, as required, to fitany spaces.

In a 3-quart, heavy-bottomedsaucepan, combine the butter ormargarine and the brown sugar.Cook over medium heat, stirringconstantly, until the mixture comesto a boil (about 2 to 4 minutes). Boilfor 3 minutes, stirring constantly.

Remove from heat and pour overthe matzo, covering completely.

Place the baking sheet in theoven and immediately reduce theheat to 350 F. Bake for 15 minutes,checking every few minutes to

make sure the mixture is not burn-ing (if it seems to be browning tooquickly, remove the pan from theoven, lower the heat to 325 F, andreplace the pan).

Remove from the oven andsprinkle immediately with thechopped chocolate or chips. Letstand for 5 minutes, and thenspread the melted chocolate overthe matzo. If using nuts, sprinkleon top of melted chocolate.

While still warm, break intosquares or odd shapes. Chill, stillin the pan, in the refrigerator untilset.
