THE NEXT SOUND YOU HEAR
« on: January 09, 2007, 12:14:08 AM »
Well, you've read the notes, the notes had sounds, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - the next sound you hear will, in fact, be the cows coming home.

In olden days a glimpse of stocking
Was looked on as something shocking
Now heaven knows
Anything goes

That is a great lyric.

Some people sit on their butts
Got the dream, yeah, but not the guts

Some people can thrive and bloom
Living life in a living room

Brilliant.

I remember snow
White as paper, sharp as thumbtacks
Coming down like lint
And it made you squint
When the wind would blow

"Where have the people gone
Seems like there's no one hangin' on
Look through the window
The houses are empty
Hey, everybody's out of town
Seems like I'm the only one around."

Broken windows and empty hallways
Pale dead moon in a sky streaked with gray
Human kindness - overflowing
And I think it's going to rain today.

CHOCOLATE PECAN CHESS PIE

A version of the southern classic; this one has a fudgy texture.

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon bourbon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped pecans
1 purchased frozen 9-inch pie crust

Whipped cream

Preheat oven to 325°F. Place baking sheet in oven. Stir butter and chocolate in heavy small saucepan over low heat until melted and smooth. Remove from heat; cool 10 minutes.

Whisk sugar and eggs in medium bowl to blend. Whisk in chocolate mixture, then bourbon, vanilla and salt. Stir in pecans (filling will be thick). Spoon filling into crust.

Place pie on baking sheet in oven. Bake until edges of filling puff and begin to crack and center is just set, about 30 minutes. Transfer pie to rack and cool completely. Serve with whipped cream.

Serves 8.

Bon Appétit

"You're the top!
You're an arrow collar
You're the top!
You're a Coolidge dollar,
You're the nimble tread
Of the feet of Fred Astaire,
You're an O'Neill drama,
You're Whistler's mama!
You're camembert. "

And

"You're a rose,
You're Inferno's Dante,
You're the nose
On the great Durante.
I'm just in a way,
As the French would say, "de trop".
But if, baby, I'm the bottom,
You're the top!"

The moon has a few new wrinkles
His smiles a bit more silver now than gold
I'm staying young - I'm staying young
While everyone around me's growing old

When life only rains in sprinkles
You've got to gather all your hands can hold
I'm staying young - I'm staying young
While everyone around me's growing old

Two drifters off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end
Waitin' round the bend
My huckleberry friend
Moon River and me.

The days of wine and roses
Laugh and run away like a child at play
Through a meadowland towards a closing door
A door marked nevermore
That wasn't there before

I don't know what the HELL it means, but it's genius.

Hardly comes to mind - does it?
The door you didn't try
Where could it have led?

For a real Southern touch:

Lemon Chess Pie


Quote

Chess pies are a southern tradition, beloved as much for their ease of preparation as for their great flavor. The filling is customarily thickened with a bit of cornmeal, rather than flour, resulting in a subtle coarseness that nicely complements the especially lemony flavor of this particular recipe.

  Foolproof Pie Shell  
 1 1/4 cups sugar  
 1 1/2 tablespoons fine yellow cornmeal  
 1/4 teaspoon salt  
 3 large eggs, at room temperature  
 1 large egg yolk  
 1/2 cup milk  
 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted  
 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice  
 Grated zest of 1 lemon  
 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract  
 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract (optional)  
 

Step 1
Prepare, chill, and prebake a Foolproof Pie Shell. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°.

Step 2
Whisk together the sugar, cornmeal, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the eggs and egg yolk and whisk well. Whisk in the milk, melted butter, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and lemon extract if using. Then slowly pour the filling into the cooled pie shell.

Step 3
Bake the pie on the center oven rack for about 45 to 50 minutes, turning it 180 degrees halfway through. When done, the top will be dark golden brown, and the filling will be set except for the very center, which may jiggle slightly when you tap the pan.

Step 4
Cool the pie on a wire rack. Serve it at room temperature or cover and chill until serving time. Makes 8 to 10 servings.

From the depths of her interior
Were fears she was inferior
And something even eerier
But no one dared to query 'er
Superior exterior

It was a dry wind
And it swept across the desert
And it curled into the circle of birth
And the dead sand
Falling on the children
The mothers and the fathers
And the automatic earth
