    11 October 1975 - LIVE FROM NEW YORK, IT'S SATURDAY NIGHT!!: A new
    late-night comedy-variety show, 'NBC's Saturday Night,' premieres with
    guest host George Carlin. The scrappy 90-minute program is launched to
    replace re-runs of 'The Tonight Show' and proves to have more than a
    little staying power. Two years later it'll be renamed 'Saturday Night
    Live.'

    An American late-night live television sketch comedy, political satire,
    and variety show created by Lorne Michaels and developed by Dick Ebersol
    that airs on NBC. Michaels currently serves as the program's showrunner.
    The show's premiere was hosted by George Carlin on NBC on October 11,
    1975, under the original title NBC's Saturday Night. The show's comedy sketches, which often parody contemporary American culture and politics,
    are performed by a large and varying cast of repertory and newer cast
    members. Each episode is hosted by a celebrity guest, who usually
    delivers the opening monologue and performs in sketches with the cast,
    with featured performances by a musical guest. An episode normally
    begins with a cold open sketch that ends with someone breaking character
    and proclaiming, "Live from New York, it's Saturday Night!", properly
    beginning the show.

    In 1980, Michaels left the series to explore other opportunities. He was replaced by Jean Doumanian, who was then replaced by Ebersol after a
    season of bad reviews. Ebersol ran the show until 1985, when Michaels
    returned. Since then, Michaels has held the job of showrunner. Many SNL
    cast members have found national stardom while appearing on the show,
    and achieved success in film and television, both in front of and behind
    the camera. Others associated with the show, such as writers, have gone
    on to successful careers creating, writing, and starring in television
    and film.

    Title: Balaleet (Balls of Sleet)
    Categories: Pasta, Herbs, Eggs
    Yield: 4 servings

    1/2 ts Saffron threads or powder
    1/4 c Rosewater
    3 tb Oil; divided
    2 c Vermicelli pasta nests
    1 tb Butter
    1/2 c Sugar
    1/2 ts Turmeric powder
    2 ts Cardamom powder
    pn Black pepper

    MMMMM---------------------------EGGS---------------------------------
    4 lg Eggs
    pn Saffron; opt
    pn Cardamom
    Salt & pepper

    FOR THE VERMICELLI: Dissolve the saffron into the
    rosewater and set aside to steep for 10 minutes or until
    ready to use in the recipe.

    Heat 2 tablespoon of the vegetable oil over medium high
    heat in a large, deep skillet, then add half the
    vermicelli noodles. Toast on both sides until golden
    brown, then add the remaining vermicelli.

    Pour boiling water on top, enough to just submerge the
    noodles, and boil for 4-5 minutes until cooked al dente
    or according to vermicelli package instructions.

    Drain the noodles over a colander, wipe out the skillet,
    and add the butter and remaining 1 tablespoon of
    vegetable oil over medium high heat. Once hot and
    bubbling, add the vermicelli back in, along with the
    sugar, turmeric, cardamom, black pepper, and rosewater
    saffron mix. Reduce heat to medium, and stir for a few
    minutes until sugar is dissolved and noodles have dried
    out a little. Meanwhile, prepare the eggs.

    TO MAKE THE EGGS: Whisk together the eggs, saffron
    (optional), cardamom, and salt and pepper. Make an
    omelette or scrambled eggs to top the noodles with.

    ASSEMBLE: Place the cooked vermicelli noodles on serving
    platter and top with the prepared eggs.

    Serve immediately.
