Historically this
date.....
1912 – Woodrow Wilson is elected to the presidency of the United
States.
... yeah yeah yeah, that was the name
of my high school... Woodrow Wilson. Natch the mascot was a Mule! Sue Shewalter
and I were the 'inside workings' of the mascot. We'd parade around on the
football field, sitting on the players laps (ha ha ha... that was Sue's end!!!)
and being silly. What a job, you get really sweaty inside those costumes! I
doubt if anyone ever took our picture. Sad.
1970 – Vietnam War: The United States Military Assistance Command in Vietnam reports the lowest weekly American soldier
death toll in five years (24).
2006 – Saddam Hussein, former president of Iraq, and his co-defendants Barzan Ibrahim
al-Tikriti and Awad Hamed al-Bandar are sentenced to death in the al-Dujail trial for the role in the massacre of the 148
Shi'as in 1982.
2009 – US Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan kills 13 and wounds 29 at Fort Hood, Texas in the deadliest mass shooting at a US military
installation.
..... we can only hope this freak is
put to death! He does not deserve to live and have his life paid for by the
citizens of the US!

day". Then it was lunch time. I had an "Eee-tal-e-ano" lunch... Dry Italian
salami made with red wine.

Jeannie's tomatoes, sprinkled with olive oil and a tad of bacon salt. And,
a brown rice ricecake topped with ricotta cheese and sprinkled with some of
Trader Joe's 21 Spice Salute. Accompanied by a glass of San Antonio Chianti
wine. Hey, Paisan ... this was molto bene!

November 5th
National Donut Day
(My favs are Krispy Kremes! Unfortunately the closest is in Beverton, Or

California is in Stockton Ca which is 375 miles away. I guess it's a good thing,
non are close! OINK!)
DOUGHNUT
or DONUT
A doughnut is a small, fried ring of sweet, leavened dough. Doughnuts leavened with baking powder are more dense than the fluffier, yeast-leavened doughnuts. Originally a Dutch recipe without a hole, the dough is dropped into hot oil, and was originally called an olykoek, or oily cake. The first written reference to “doughnut” is in Washington Irving’s 1809 in History of New York, where he writes of “balls of sweetened dough, fried in hog’s fat, and called doughnuts, or olykoeks.” |

It is said that in 1847, 16-year-old Hanson Gregory created the hole in
the center of the doughnut by using the top of a round tin pepper container to
punch the holes, so the dough would cook evenly. There are many types of
doughnuts. Just a few include bismarks or jelly doughnuts, raised doughnuts
leavened with yeast, squares and twists, crullers made from twisted
cake-doughnut dough and French doughnuts made with cream-puff pastry dough. They
can be filled or unfilled, plain, glazed or iced.
