HOLIDAY PUFFS - by Teller
1 egg
1/2 cup buttermilk (or 1/4 cup milk mixed with 1/4 cup vinegar)
5 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup lemon juice (fresh is best)
1/2 cup sugar
3/8 cup all-purpose flour
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Butter a cookie sheet.
2. In a small bowl or 2-cup measurement cup, beat the egg until
foamy.
3. Add the buttermilk and the vanilla, and blend well.
4. Add the baking soda, one teaspoon at a time, sprinkling it in
and beating until the mixture is smooth and the consistency
of light cream.
5. Add the lemon juice all at once. Stir gently until blended,
but do not beat (it is important not to allow air to get
trapped in the mixture).
6. Sift the sugar and the flour together in a small bowl and add
it to the egg mixture, a teaspoon at a time. Stir until just
moistened.
7. Drop the batter by tablespoonfuls, one inch apart, onto the
buttered cookie sheet.
8. Bake for 12 minutes or until golden. Serve hot.

"When your pantry pinko reaches Step 5, about a gallon of lemon
-egg foam will gush out of the measuring cup and inundate the
kitchen counter. It's harmless, just lemon juice liberating
the carbonate radical of the sodium bicarbonate to produce a
cascade of carbon dioxide bubbles - no fires and, regrettably,
no explosions. But plenty messy and more than enough to make
Chef Share-the-Wealth crazy."
The full recipe and explanation, and many more wry delights of
mayhem-magic are all to be found in PENN & TELLER'S HOW TO PLAY
WITH YOUR FOOD - the latest literary work by the much-famed and
Letterman-feared guerrilla conjuring team.

would like it? I honestly have no idea...
If they do a show in LA, we should send a contingent.
Is there an alt.fan.penn-and-teller? If not, why not? :^)
I tried to delurk once before, but our news software was being flaky, and
the message got eaten. I may be able to recover it somewhere, but it hasn't
been seen lately... If you spot a longish rambling message suggesting a
connection between the two-handed-handshake and English country dancing,
please return it post paid to iri...@fenris.claremont.edu. :^)

out of ALL the things to ask him, I asked if he had heard of Mike.
Yes, Mike and P&T know who each other are. :)
I don't think I have the posted response whne I asked
mike regarding Teller's response, but I remember it via the Phone. :)

The big question is, when will P&T get a UUCP feed for their BBS (MOFO)
so that I can irritate both them and Mike Jittlov AT THE SAME TIME?
P.S. I made the jello heart, and I even blew up a pickle!
