    Our plans are bigger than our schedules sometimes.
    On revisiting I read "our prawns are bigger than our
    seiches [i.e., squid or cuttlefish]."
    I can see that.... ;) We used to drive by a sign for a fish market (in
    the middle of almost nowhere, well, between Wiiliamson and Sodus, on Rt
    104) that advertised Giant Shrimp along with Clams and other stuff...

    To be fair, usage of the term shrimp to mean shrimpy
    is a relative newcomer.

    to the hand of the pharmacist. But in this case I had
    arranged the bottles in a specific order so as to make
    filling my medicine box easier, and I found that the
    blood pressure medication was in the place of the
    insulin activator, and vice versa. For a second I
    wondered why the bottle with the giant gram pills was
    suddenly populated by these minuscule ant-size ones.
    They swapped places just to mess with your mind.... ;)

    According to my brother (whose testimony is of
    course not always of the best) my mother used to
    actually believe that there were gremlins moving
    things around. Also opening windows and stuff
    like that. We come by our looniness over a long
    period of time. It would be even more problematic
    if the pills actually showed up labeled as each
    other or, worse, something else altogether.

    ... Butterflies are self-propelled flowers.
    Aah, another Ms. Half Full. To me they're
    bugs on kites.
    As long as they aren't biters, that's not a problem... :)

    Luckily they don't have jaws but straws.

    ... Help stamp out and abolish redundancy!

    Eliminate it too!

    Title: Sunday Loaf
    Categories: Breads, Breakfast
    Yield: 18 servings

    3 c Flour 1/2 c Strawberry
    jam/preserves
    1/2 c Sugar 3/4 c Milk
    4 ts Baking powder 2 tb Butter
    1 ts Salt 2 tb Sugar
    8 tb Butter, chilled 2 tb Raspberry jam or
    2 Eggs 2 tb Strawberry jam
    1/2 c Raspberry jam/preserves or

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan. Combine the
    flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Stir with a
    fork to mix all dry ingredients well. Cut the butter into small pieces
    and
    drop into the flour mixture. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, rub
    or
    cut the cold butter into the flour until mixture resembles coarse bread
    crumbs. Beat the eggs well in a small bowl, add the jam or preserves and
    milk; whisk until the mixture is blended smooth. Stir the egg mixture
    into
    the flour mixture and stir only until no flour streaks show--the mixture
    wil be lumpy. Spoon into the loaf pan and bake for about 1 hour 15
    minutes,
    or until a straw inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow loaf to
    remain in the pan for 15 to 20 minutes before turning it out onto a rack.
    Meanwhile, make the glaze by combining the butter, sugar, and jam in a
    pan.
    Stir and bring to a simmer; continue stirring until dissolved and
    blended.
    Strain and then spoon the glaze over the loaf after it has cooled on the
    rack.

    True... but Richard almost always commented on the incongruity... :)

    Then one might actually be tempted to believe in your mother's (alleged) gremlins.... :)

    yup... :)
