I read of one of your TV evangelists blaming the sinful behaviour of a
certain section of the population for the hurricane.  I suppose some
people might even believe him.

 RH> A sand-swallowing penguin ... poor little Unhappy Feet.  

As expected, it was called "Happy Feet".  Now that it has been cleaned
out and brought back to good health, a Fisheries Dept. ship is taking
it South to the cold.  I hope that will not be the sole purpose of
that ship's voyage, but it will do something useful as well.

All good to hear.  I am surprised you can grow a coffee plant at your
latitude.  Don't expect to get mature berries on it, though.

      Title: Chopped Walnut and Coffee Cake
 Categories: Cakes, Breads, Nuts
      Yield: 10 Servings
 
      4    Eggs
      4 oz Icing sugar
      1 tb Fine fresh bread crumbs
      1 tb Fresh coffee; finely
           Ground
      1 tb Cocoa powder
      6 oz Shelled walnuts; roughly
           Chopped
           For the icing:
      4 oz Unsalted butter; softened
      4 oz Icing sugar; sifted
      1    Egg yolk
      1 tb Instant coffee
      2 tb Boiling water
 
  Grease and line a cake tin 8 inches in diameter and 2 inches high.
  
  Separate the yolks from the egg whites. Cream the yolks and sugar
  together until pale yellow and hanging like ribbons from the beater.
  Add the bread crumbs, ground coffee, cocoa and walnuts and mix well
  together. Whisk the egg whites stiffly and carefully fold into the
  walnut mixture. Pour the mixture into the prepared cake tin and bake
  in a preheated 350 degree oven for 45 minutes. Cool in the tin, then
  turn out onto a rack.
  
  To make the icing, cream the butter with the icing sugar and egg yolk.
  Dissolve the instant coffee in the boiling water and mix well into the
  icing. Spread over the cake with a wet knife.
