"What I love about cooking is that after a hard day,
there is something comforting about the fact that
if you melt butter and add flour, then hot stock, it will get thick! It's a sure thing.
It's a sure thing in a world where nothing is sure!"
__Nora Ephron
"A good cook is like a sorceress who dispenses happiness."
__Elsa Schiaparelli

in two minutes' enjoyment; but if cooking is evanescent,
so is the ballet. "

Shoebox Cake
Ingredients:
1 pound cinnamon and honey graham crackers
2 teaspoons bakin' powder
6 eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups white sugar
2 cups whole milk
1/2 pound butter -- melted
1 and 1/2 cups coarsely chopped pecans
1 and 1/2 cups coarsely chopped walnuts
7 ounces grated coconut
Instructions:
1) Preheat oven to 250�
2) Put the crackers in a zip-top plastic bag and crush with a rollin' pin
'til you've got very fine crumbs.
3) In a large bowl combine the graham cracker crumbs
and the bakin' powder.
4) Add the eggs, sugar, milk, butter, nuts, and coconut.
5) Blend 'til all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
6) Line a clean shoebox with waxed paper and pour in the batter.
7) Place the uncovered box on cookie sheet in oven
and bake for three hours.
8) Let cool before slicin'.
Note: if you don't have a shoebox, you can use a double sized
loaf pan instead.
and the best of intentions for whoever wants to try 'em,
but if somethin' goes wrong, don't blame the varmint.*
