         | recipe for milque toast.

         | many people erroneously assume this recipe originated in
         | Springfield as the dish looks remarkably similar to a popular
         | meal served at a local chain called Krusty Burger. this couldnt
         | be further from the truth. the dish is actually a delicacy from
         | Albany, NY. Despite its well known tradition upstate however,
         | Steamed Hams are also frequently confused by residents of Utica
         | for another dish, steamed _clams._
         | 
         | Albany residents commonly enjoy steamed hams on a clear winter
         | night from their kitchen, during which time the gentle lights
         | of the Aurora Borealis can be observed.

           | I was about to say, I'm from Utica and never heard the
           | expression. I guess I was thinking of steamed clams.

       |  _Then came the issue of how to illustrate the book. Laurel and
       | her agent had been trying to make the project a reality for
       | years, and after talks with Disney Publishing and The Simpsons
       | writers, red tape got in the way of it being an official Simpsons
       | cookbook. So Laurel signed a deal with Adams Media, which had
       | experience in the legalities of unofficial cookbooks (Game of
       | Thrones and Downton Abbey, for example) and helped navigate the
       | project to publication. One of the loopholes was avoiding any
       | imagery from The Simpsons, so Laurel says they had to be
       | "creative" in how they designed it - "not just pictures of Homer
       | drooling". Using fun illustrations by Priscilla Yuen, a
       | distinctively Simpsons-esque typeface, a colour scheme heavy on
       | the yellow, and photographs by Harper Point that depict some of
       | the most delicious final dishes in all their glory, the book is a
       | loving tribute to the show and Laurel's dream project. "My voice
       | is very much in there," she adds, on the benefits of going
       | "unofficial"._
