    Banana Oatmeal Coffee Cake

     

    Talk about a surprisingly good coffee cake, this is it. When I first read this recipe, it didn’t grab me as all that good. I had been given some ripe bananas to use up and I wanted to bake something really different with them to feature here on line. After looking through most of my cook books I came back to this recipe. What is really unique about this single layer coffee cake is it has oatmeal added to the batter. The oatmeal with the bananas give the cake a wonderful moist texture to it. The crumb top adds a crunch to it that make this a special treat that will have family and friends asking for more.

    Potato Pizza

    “Whoo…Whoo,,,ooo. Little pumpkins sitting on a fence.” When my daughter was young she would quote a Halloween poem that she learned in school. Only she would forget most of it so she would just make it up while she played. We would hear her singing it to herself after we put her to bed at night during the month of October in anticipation of Trick or Treat.

    LIKES & DISLIKES; COMEDIANS & POLITICIANS

     

    There are some things I like and some things I dislike; just like everybody else.

    Sometimes there are reasons and sometimes reasoning has nothing to do with my

    COMICS

    Comedians have to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune with no net—to mix my metaphors.

    I rarely hate or detest comedians although I might hate or detest individual gigs or riffs within those gigs.

    Troy! Troy! Troy!

    Friends,

     

    My latest full length play was published by the Web site Indie Theatre Now.  If you've ever been curious about that part of my work, this is something you can read for free.

    It's the tale of the Trojan War, rewritten from the perspective of the Iraq War (the Greek army invades Troy, finds out that Helen was never year, and gets into a costly occupation).

    I wrote it for this crowd.

    Christopher Walken on Seven Psychopaths, His Days as a Lion Tamer, and the One Role He's Still Searching For

    By Julie Miller at Vanity Fair, September 10, 2012

    Excerpt:

    What kind of character haven't you played that you'd still like to try?

    I haven't played a regular guy. You know, a dad with kids. But I'm not sure I'll ever get that part.

    A Libertarian House on the Prairie

    By Judith Thurman, The New Yorker, August 17, 2012

    [....] [Laura Ingalls] Wilder’s books were written in collaboration with her only child, Rose Wilder Lane, a best-selling author in her own right. The extent of that collaboration is disputed—some critics have called Rose Laura’s “ghostwriter.” The evidence suggests that, at the least, Lane edited and shaped the manuscripts considerably, and thought of her mother as an amateur [....]

    Adam Wheeler Went to Harvard |Jim Newell |The Baffler

    On December 23, 2011, the dons of Harvard University finally got to see Adam Wheeler sentenced to a year in prison. Wheeler, a twenty-five-year-old whom they admitted in 2007 on the strength of an academic record he’d fabricated out of thin air, had been caught again—and this was not something a young gentleman does to America’s most highly self-regarded institution of advanced credentialing.

    Roadkill experiment

    Found this on the Dish. When I was a child, Redd Foxx was a guest on some talk show. He and the host were talking about hitting dogs while driving, and throwing out these huge numbers of dogs they had hit. I asked my mother why they would hit dogs, and she said they hit them by accident, but it sure sounded like they didn't care much.

    Gluten free.

    Health notes, I hope no one else needlessly suffers a severe reaction to diuretic drugs.
