Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
Few singers have ever equaled the soothing velvet tones of Jim Reeves insofar as "comfort sounds". I don't know about you, but I'm in the mood for some comfort right about now.

HA-HA-HA!
Thank you, Eleanor!
As you know, few things set my teeth on edge quite as much as
hearing this particular mispronounciation. However, the other
day I encounted something I had long since forgotten which both
shocked and astounded (okay, horrified) me!
Having (temporarily) run out of anything I wanted to crochet, I had taken down my copy of Chaucer's Major Poetry (aw, c'mon, you knew I was weird!) when I came across these lines in The Second Nun's Tale:
421
Almachius, that herde of this doynge,
So... which
came first, the chicken or the egg?!?

Now, don’t get all excited thinking you’re going to read about chocolate papaya muffin tops or fennel sardine apricot bread. No, I’m talking about the stack of recipes I’ve clipped together and hung on the pegboard next to my work station in the King Arthur test kitchen. These are recipes I make over and over again–for potlucks, for bake sales, or for going-away lunches here at work.
