Expanding Frosting
When you buy a container of cake
frosting from the store, whip it with your mixer for a few minutes.
You can double it in size. You get to frost more cake/cupcakes with the same
amount. You also eat
less sugar/calories per serving.

A near record, 39 Warriors
and their guests braved 100 degree temps and
the cramped accommodations at the Steak and Ale for a great meal and wonderful
fellowship. The
event was scheduled to honor Penny Dollar Campbell who, along with
friends Dolores Jackson and
Judy Stanford, left the cool climes of New Mexico
to experience Memphis
came to the River City from her new home in Brookville , Ohio
Here a bit of trivia compliments of regular Mike Hines. Prior
to being called The Steak
and Ale, the restaurant’s name was the Jolly Ox. Local codes prohibited the
name of an alcoholic
beverage from appearing in the name of a commercial establishment.
More input was made to the planning of the cruise scheduled for next June. Leonard

HENRY’S CORNER
Speaking of The
Thing, we were, weren’t we, the 1951 release, may have been
the first ‘fright
flick’ many of us saw. The actual title is The Thing From
Another
World, and
it is an adaptation of John Campbell’s short story ”
Who Goes
There”. Even
today, the movie can still raise the hair on the back of the neck of
those who’ve seen it numerous times. This film was the first
to establish the now
now familiar
plot line of an alien invader. In it, an alien body encased in ice is
retrieved from an artic ice flow, taken to a weather station
where it’s revived and
wreaks havoc before being dispatched. One claim to fame the film
has is that the title role was played
by the 6’7”, 235 lb. James Arness of Gunsmoke fame. Arness refused to
attend the film’s premier, as
he was somewhat embarrassed by the role saying the make up made him look like a
giant carrot.
Ironically, the creature actually was supposed to be a vegetable that requires
human blood to survive.
Although Christian Nyby was in fact the director of the movie, many still
credit it to Howard Hawks.
The avocado gets its name from the Aztec word for
testicle. That pretty well does it for the

The first cellular phone call was made on April 3,
1973 by its inventor, Motorola’s Martin Cooper. The
device was inspired
by Star Trek’s Capt. Kirk’s flip open communicator.
