MICHAEL LOO Said to DAVE DRUM about Zaftig 72

ML>  DD> I only used her as an example of that sort of overstuffed
ML>  DD> easy-chair  look to which I was referring.

ML> I'm told Shelley Winters was once svelte and glamorous.

Probably, once upon a .... but, then the same can be said for many 
people (substitute male equivalents of svelte and glamorous where 
necessary) before they let themselves go through self-indulgence and 
begin to look like a riverine mammal or the posterior view of a draft 
horse.

ML>  DD> I was pulling for her to drown for real in the Poseidon
ML>  DD> Adventure. So, was the daughter a cutie with a nice
ML>  DD> personality. Or was she an ankle  like her mother?

ML> I had never met anyone so spoiled, but she didn't seem to be
ML> a bad sort. Baby face, pretty nice legs. It was said by those
ML> who would know better than I that she had quite a temper if
ML> provoked.

IOW a poster child for the worst parts of being a child of privilege.

ML> She used to tell stories of her parents buying Limoges
ML> services for the purpose of throwing dishes at each other
ML> during domestic disputes. At the time I was of the
ML> impression that she was talking of Ms. Winters and her
ML> father, Vittorio Gassman, but it seems that in fact the
ML> other principal was Tony Franciosa, who came onto the
ML> scene shortly after her real father's leaving the scene
ML> shortly after she was born.

Hollywoods tend to do that a lot. Look (if you can stomach the view) at 
the Kardashians  Bv)=

ML>  ML> And for Tory's coming-out (old-style usage) party they
ML>  ML> chartered a plane and took much of the dorm to Italy.
ML>  ML> I wasn't invited.

ML>  DD> Awwwwwwwwww .... poor baby.

ML> I was slightly miffed but not surprised at not being
ML> asked. I wouldn't have gone anyhow; in fact, even though
ML> this may be hard to believe, I didn't have a passport
ML> back then.

I've thought about getting one - but, I probably am not going to ever 
need one unless I hit one of those extremely long odds lottery games 
that I play.

      Title: Hippo Pot de Mousse
 Categories: Five, Desserts, Chocolate, Dairy, Nuts
      Yield: 6 servings
 
      4 oz Semisweet chocolate
      2 oz Bittersweet chocolate
      2 c  Heavy cream; well-chilled
           - whipping cream will do
           - nicely
      1 ts Almond extract
 
  Melt the chocolate together in the top of a double boiler.
  Be careful to do this slowly, so as not to burn the
  chocolate, and to keep all moisture away from the pot. Let
  the chocolate cool for five minutes.
   
  While the chocolate cools, whip the cream and almond
  extract together until very stiff. Gently fold the cooled
  chocolate into the whipped cream. There will be many
  flecks of chocolate in the mixture.
  
  If you're not going to eat it all yourself, spoon into six
  large wine glasses. Chill one hour.

  Yield: Serves one to six people.

  NOTES: Extremely quick and easy chocolate mousse -- This
  is an adaptation of a very easy chocolate mousse recipe
  from Sandra Boynton's hilarious book, "Chocolate, the
  Consuming Passion." It requires none of the laborious
  preparation that most French mousse recipes call for, and
  really optimizes the effort needed to consume the
  chocolate, which is, after all, what this is all about.

  If you're careful, you can also melt the chocolate in a
  microwave oven, in its wrapper. If you try this, be
  especially mindful of the semisweet chocolate, as the
  sugar therein caramelizes very quickly, leading to an
  awful mess (and ruined chocolate).
