 ML> As far as more red goes, why not pipe auto exhaust in?
 JW> Maybe in the US, but it's illegal in Canada and the EU.

But here it's not only legal, it's encouraged. Whereas
grinding pig spleens (tasty though they are) in with
one's beef is neither. 

 JW> It has its pros and cons...

The pro being that it's cheaper than nitrogen?

 JW> But it also disguises the spoilage of meat. Carbon monoxide also

People don't seem to realize that good fresh beef is a
purply color - it's the brown and gray and multicolor
stage that CO masks, but that should be obvious as soon
as the package is opened.

servings: 12 to 16

10 fl sweetened condensed milk
12 fl evaporated milk
1 1/2 c heavy cream
1/2 ts vanilla extract
2 1/2 c all-purpose flour
1 1/2 ts baking powder
11 eggs
1 1/3 c sugar
1 ts salt
1 1/8 c warm water
1 1/2 c confectioners' sugar

1. Allow 8 eggs to reach room temperature before making cake.

2. Mix milks, cream, and vanilla; refrigerate until ready to use.

3. Preheat oven to 350F.

4. Blend flour and soda; sift into a medium bowl and set aside.

5. Break 8 eggs into a large bowl and whip at high speed until

6. Set mixer to low speed and slowly add warm water.

7. With a hand whisk, fold flour mixture into egg mixture.

cold dry mixing bowl on medium speed until soft peaks form;
add confectioners' sugar gradually and mix on high speed until
all is absorbed.
