Turnip-Fish
I received this recipe from Marjorie Fenner. "This will wholly amuse a five-year old," she promises.

Carve a turnip into the shape of a fish. Place in a pot of boiling water. Watch the turnip-fish "swim" in the water. After 20 minutes, remove. Add butter and salt. Serve.

Frozen Raisin Party Clusters
Freeze 80 raisins. Cover with strawberry preserves. Sprinkle with nonfat dry milk powder. Press into oblong shapes.

La chanson
Mon problème quand je vais en Californie est que tout le temps que je suis là, je chante "Il ne pleut jamais en Californie au Sud" – une chanson que je n'aime pas. C'est une dépendance de mon esprit.

Il ne pleut jamais en Californie;
Les filles toujours on avertissent . . .

Albert Hammond a chanté cette chanson en 1972.
