Square Mini and Whoopie Muffin Experiment

This article describes my experiment of using cake mix for making muffins in a whoopie pan and a silicone pan that has square wells. If Elaine had whoopie pans, she might have been able to bake only muffin tops instead of whole muffins that she couldn't get rid of the stems.

Waits N Measures, Baking Pans N Papers

I'm big on baking. I bake frequently enough to know what I'm doing, but still need to consult with recipes online and in books. This article has baking info about pans, capacities, baking times, and more, including table formatting.

Mad About Word and FrameMaker

Sometimes when I use one of the tools, I wish the other had the same feature. I often wistfully wonder (and sometimes go/get mad)—

• Why doesn't FrameMaker have this Word feature?
• Why doesn't Word have this FrameMaker feature?
• Why …

What's your madness about FrameMaker and Word?

New Year Turkey Day

Turkey Day came almost two months after Thanksgiving. The meal was tasty, the timing was just about right, with the only menu item requiring reheating being the oven-roasted veggies. And the dinner guest brought in flowers in a vase and meal accompaniments—oranges, cranberry sauce, and Godiva Chocolate Cheesecake.

Tubular Waffle Grid Wafers 2

This recipe is a followup to the one I published in August, when I used test tubes for helping shape the wafers. (I wanted to use my waffle cone appliance to make shapes besides waffle cones.) This time, I used a 3 x 8 grid text tube rack for holding the shapes.

The rack is open air, better for air circulation and avoiding trapping steam than the set of test tubes I used previously. Also, the 24 vertical cavities means I can stand up a lot more tubular wafers.

Some Verb-ose Observations 2

As I was set to publish my initial article about conjugations and other verb-ose observations, I kept thinking it was getting pretty long. Splitting the observations into a main one about conjugations and a second one seems sensible. (Visit "Conjugations--Some Verb-ose Observations"!) This part of my verb-ose observations pertains to mostly infinitives and gerunds, a couple of verb forms.
