THE MIND BOGGLES

[FJL]

Thanks, singdaw.  And just in case the vibes don't work, I ordered a copy of From Here to Paternity, which deals with fighting paternity suits when you yourself are the lawyer for the other side.  If only I (as attorney) weren't such a good, conscientious attorney, I (as defendant) wouldn't have to worry.  But I (the attorney) am such a shark that I could probably get RuPaul to admit he's a father.

Who was talking about piles yesterday?

[FJL]

The Here in From Here to Paternity of course refers to the Here! network.

Good morning, all! I have my usual trek to Toyland this morning, another inventory of things to be looked up and photocopied at the Library of Congress, perhaps an office supplies order for the new office, and perhaps another trip to the NYPL.  I will be ecstatic once the office has a computer so we can finish the Appendix numbers in Volume One of the Toyland edition and seriously delve into Volume Two.  

Has the season change begun: the air seems different, and I've been thinking about the verse to Arthur Schwartz's song "Goodbye to All That":  Don't look now, but summer's over.

Thanks for the link, DR SINGDAW.  Was that the Paramount Theatre in Seattle.....

Miss Frances Farmer worked as an usherette there during her college years, one of THREE jobs she held down while attending school.

Yesterday a lot of posts were made discussing DR CASON's extension.

Sorry, JRand56, can't answer that, as I haven't seen the clip myself yet...I'm at work and can't view.  But even if I had seen it, I probably still wouldn't be able to answer your question!

That's your defense?! RuPaul is Cocoa's father?! ...

Did anyone hear this recipe for Wacky Cake on NPR's All Things Considered the other day?   "Wacky" because one of the ingredients is white vinegar...

Mary Carole Battle's Mother's Wacky Cake

1 1/2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon white vinegar
6 tablespoons cooking or salad oil
1 cup cold water

In an 8-inch- or 9-inch-square cake pan, sift the dry ingredients. Make three holes; pour the vanilla in the first, vinegar in the second, and oil in the third.

Pour the cold water over the mixture, and stir until no longer lumpy. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes. If desired, top with seven-minute frosting (below).

Seven-Minute Frosting

2 egg whites
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/3 cup cold water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Mix all ingredients except the vanilla extract in top of a double-boiler; beat about 1 minute to mix together. Place over bottom half of double-boiler; once water has started boiling, beat on high for 7 minutes. Soft peaks should form easily; remove from heat and add vanilla. Beat another minute or two.

[singdaw]

Next thing you know, DR FJL will be telling us it was actually Merv Griffin...
