    Sounds interesting. During what times did
    she make her way up the ladder?
    She's a bit older than me, early 70's I believe. She was born on an
    island in the Hudson Strait that links Hudson Bay and the Labrador

    A long way from nowhere, and it must have been
    quite a journey to get anywhere.

    Sea. Her first government job was as a secretary and interpreter for
    some politician. She went back and forth between the public and

    Would that more women graduated from secretaryhood
    in this way; back then, smart women tended to spend
    their entire careers covering up for their men bosses
    before running off and getting married.

    private sector. At the CBC she went from receptionist to on air
    announcer to producer. She also started up a regional newspaper. Her
    term as Commissioner of Nunavut was up in 2010. A remarkable woman!

    There must have been something really sparky there.

    We're on a McSorley's kick, eh. [...] more schtick than
    anything else (the ale is ML> not notable for strength of
    alcohol or flavor).
    That's disappointing to hear. I imagine its legend got "romanced
    up". I guess I won't go out of way to go there then, should I ever
    make it to NYC.

    It's very NYC. Why miss it because it's
    culinarily mediocre? It's historically of some
    interest, and it does have atmosphere (i.e.,
    smells kind of bad).

    Of course, there's plenty of stuff to eat,
    with 76 Michelin-starred, 129 Bibs, and 349
    Michelin Plates. I've eaten at maybe a couple
    of the stars and 5 or so Bibs. Not very many
    of the Plates, though, many echo people have
    eaten at the parent of one of them - Dinosaur
    BBQ!

    the Fraunces Tavern got my bucks last time
    Another noteworthy historical landmark.

    It was. It also served us tainted romaine before
    that was fashionable.

    Once again, fixing up old recipes gathered years ago but I'm not
    actually recommending milk and sugar in scrapple.

    Interesting.

    Title: Lucky's Liver Scrapple
    1 c Cornmeal
    1 c Milk
    1 ts Sugar
    1 ts Salt
    2 tb Butter
    2 3/4 c Boiling water
    8 oz Liver sausage (liverwurst),
    -cooked, drained, crumbled
    All-purpose flour
    Maple syrup (optional)

    Rather peculiar, that. I'd eat it, if it
    were fried crisp enough.

    I've had lobster maybe twice in my life. Once at Red Lobster,
    the other at Long John Silver's and their "lobster bites".

    I thought that was a boiled potato and a six-pack.

    Chocolate Yogurt Loaf - Preheat the oven to
    375F and grease the loaf pan. In a mixer,
    combine the sugar, butter, salt, and baking
    soda; mix on high speed for 5 min. Add the
    egg whites slowly, scraping the bowl after
    each addition. Do not overmix. Add the
    yogurt and mix thoroughly.

    Sift the flour and cocoa powder and add to the
    wet mixture. Pour into loaf pan and bake for

    Let stand 1 day before using.

    Strawberry Nut Sauce - Melt butter in medium

    until dissolved. Add sliced beries and nuts
    and saute 1 min; set aside.

    Final preparation and assembly - Slice bread
    1/2" thick. Soak bread thoroughly in batter.
    Drain off excess. Cook over medium heat [in
    clarified butter] in a nonstick pan for 2 min
    on each side or until golden brown.

    Place one piece of toast on a plate and top with
    strawberry sauce. Repeat two additional times until
    you have built your tower of toast; top it off by
    covering with the remaining strawberry nut sauce.

    Drizzle chocolate sauce on top of the tower and
    finish with a dollop of Devonshire cream.
