Well, I pay attention to my health. But, I don't obsess about it. Even though I
am somewhat of a fatalist I try not to do anything to speed up the journey
toward the conclusion. As for Georgia, she's the only sister I have ...

I think that in Germany the only company allowed to use the term "aspirin" for
its ASA is Bayer. That is what I was trying to convey, however poorly.

There are many, many, many cakes out there. Almost as many as there are people
making them. The one I posted is one which is one of the better "dump and stir"
examples. Even though Dave Sacerdote (where has he been lately) would call it
too "Sandra Lee" it works very well.

      Title: Flourless Chocolate Cake
 Categories: Cakes, Chocolate
      Yield: 1 Cake
 
     14 oz Baking chocolate
     14 tb Unsalted butter
  1 1/2 c  Sugar
     10 lg Eggs; separated
      1 tb Grand Marnier *
      1 tb Vanilla extract
 
  ** Butter and flour a 12" spring-form pan.

  Break the chocolate into chunks and put in the top of a
  double boiler along with the butter. Melt over simmering
  water, stirring occasionally. Stir in 1 1/4 cups sugar into
  the melted chocolate and butter mixture and continue heating
  until the sugar is dissolved. Beat the egg yolks in a
  separate bowl. Beat some of the hot chocolate mixture into
  the yolks, then return all the mixture to the sauce pan.
  Cook over simmering water, stirring constantly, until
  slightly thickened; then stir in the Grand Marnier and
  vanilla.

  Beat the egg whites until they stand in soft peaks when the
  beater or whisk is removed. Continue beating, gradually
  adding the remaining 1/4 cup sugar until the whites stand
  upright in stiff peaks when beater is removed. Fold egg
  whites and chocolate mixture together carefully.

  Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Bake for 3 hours
  at 250øF. Remove from the oven. Let cool to room
  temperature, cover and chill.

  This cake is great served with a creme Anglaise.

  * Substitute 1 tb of orange juice concentrate for a non-
  alcohol version. - UDD

  ** For Passover you can use matzo meal in place of flour.
