So sorry. I just had a double latte with bread pudding and all that

Fortunately I didn't have a mouth full of coffee at the time ;-)

Bread pudding sounds good!

...Jim Thompson

We went to The Cottage, literally a tiny cottage back a dark covered
alley, behind the Liberty Cafe (famous for their BLTs and chicken pot
pie.) I had the bp with whipped cream on top, and Mo had the
mango-blueberry upside-down cake. When the girl scooped that onto the
plate, she bobbled it and flipped it over, so we had a classic zero-pi
double inversion situation. San Francisco may be the heart of The Land
of Fruits and Nuts, but there is a lot of really astonishing baking
going on in this town.

I did publish here my original recipe for Fruit Custard Bread Pudding,
but nobody seems to have tried it. Pity. I think I'll do a banana
cream pie today, once I test this #$%^&!! code.

Well, it's a lot better than never being crazy at all. Being
occasionally crazy is a definite asset in this business; pretending to
be crazy can be even better.

You know you're starting to get old when you get a quarter that looks
worn out and you notice it was minted when you were in college.

I read that the first electric motor was built by a guy who ripped up

brave man.

Thought that was Faraday's incudtors? (Crap, I can't spell)

I won't go there but I will mention that I now have three
_great_ grandchildren.

The other OF thread(s) reminded me of some things I know
that're now "trivia":

1) Considering wire specs, what do the terms scc, dcc, ssc,
and dsc mean, and

single/double cotton/silk covered.

2) why don't you see them any more?

Formvar doesn't soak up water, burn easily, or get eaten by bugs.

Sigh.

Probably also a divorced, disabled man.
