I wasn't planning any blogging today. I've got a sinus headache that just won't quit, one of the lamblets is sick and we're still recovering from yesterday's broken water main, but!!! What better than to distract myself with a silly meme. Yes, apparently I've been goosed... by Blue Girl nonetheless. I didn't think she was the type to do that, but goose-away she did.
Here are the rules:
• look up page 123 in the nearest book
• look for the fifth sentence
• then post the three sentences that follow that fifth sentence on page 123
Ok... here goes! I'm sitting right by 4 large bookcases so this should be easy... I'm grabbing! Drum roll pleeeeeze! And the 3 sentences that follow the 5th sentence are:
Pigs can be rolled up ready to bake in advance and placed in an oven just before guests are due or even after they have arrived. The timer should be set to make sure the Pigs come out of the oven on time. Makes 10-12 (double pastry recipe to make 20-24).
Dear Lord!! I hope those weren't real pigs! I'm guessing if they were, the pigs would have let themselves out of the oven. I'm also glad that the author informed us that doubling 10-12 will get you 20-24. I had no idea...
The book I grabbed was a cookbook that Grizzled had been given by his mother when clearing out her own stash. It's entitled, "A Salute to Cheese" (copyright 1966)!!! Of course we had to take it. If there's one thing that's lacking in this world it's cheese saluting! The book is by Betty Wason, author of 10 other cookbooks which include, "Bride in the Kitchen" and "Dinners That Wait"!!! I'm guessing the "Dinners That Wait" was published after "Bride in the Kitchen" since the only cooking the bride was doing was with the groom...
The foreword of "A Salute to Cheese" was by Phil Alpert, President, Cheese of All Nations.
Who knew there was a President of the Cheese of All Nations!?!
Well, I'm guessing this is about as much action as this book has seen in a few decades. And speaking of action, it's time for me to go about goosing with abandon!!!
I must goose, 5. I hereby goose the following....
My work is finished.
Oh my God, if that wasn't the *perfect* three sentences for this group, I don't know what is!
If there's one thing that's lacking in this world it's cheese saluting!
lol.
President, Cheese of All Nations.
LOL!!

"Salute to Cheese" is just awesome. I am sure fish can make it dirty.
I responded.

BG- I almost felt like I must have gotten Snag's 3 sentences...
Kathleen- thanks for accepting the unsolicited goose. As for fish, I'm sure he's aware of the sullying that needs to be done.

I'm about to start this, which is a new one for me, Jen.
A few months ago, though, I started a sister blog to Diary of a Heretic. It's Diary of a Heretic Reviews and Memes. http://diaryofaheretic.blogs.com/diary_of_heretic_memes/
I've put up a few reviews, answered requests, and done a few memes--but no one visits this new blog! On the original, there's a link in the far side-bar, saying click HERE, if anyone wants to get there fast. I use it more than anyone else I think because the URL is a snare for people with my kind of typophilia.

KM! I had no idea about the sister blog. I realized you had changed some of the format on the old one, but I am happy to hear about the new one as well. I'll be visiting! Your other site has now been added to my blog roll as has your husband's.

I believe the dirty version is called The Cheese Salute.
I have obeyed my meme master and responded. My version stars Bruce Willis.

this book has the world's best lasagna recipe in it (if you leave out the chicken livers). be sure to double the sauce amount though-the one in the book is too skimpy for the amount of pasta and cheese--also the linguine bolognese is fabulous. i am a cook of 45 years and am looking for a copy of this book--i lost mine years ago!
