I was fine when I woke up about an hour ago, but since then I have
looked at the news on the Internet and made the awful mistake of
perusing today's paper. Things are bad all over, and now I am paranoid
as hell. Right now I am sitting in my dining room and I'd like more coffee, but Homeland Security has issued new warnings about possible terrorist attacks and I am leery of going into my kitchen. Is it safe in there?Things are so shaky that New York City is already buttoning up their New Year's Eve security in case of a terrorist attack: They are planning to weld shut all manhole covers in Times Square. (Yeah, that should do it.) The world is a mess, that's for sure. Thank god I have no power whatsoever and nobody wants my opinion on anything. I may bake. In fact, following is a recipe for an incredible cake my dear neighbor back in Salt Lake City, Sophia Alcott, baked every fall. It's really good!
SOPHIE'S RAW APPLE CAKE
2 Cups chopped apples
1 Cup sugar
1 and 1/2 Cups flour
1/2 Cup margarine
1 Egg
1 Teaspoon baking soda
1/2 Teaspoon salt
Topping: Brown sugar, chopped walnuts and cinnamon.
Grease and flour a 9" pan. Mix all ingredients, sprinkle generously with Topping and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.
