Products change. Remember when you heard constantly on the radio
  Nabisco vanilla wafers, sweetest vanilla taste, so airy and oh
  so light, you can't wait for the next bite
- and then they discovered they could save a penny or two a box
by using artificial flavorings, so came the birth of the Nilla.

 ML> Yep. I wonder if that Whip 'n' Chill substance I had recently
 ML> had any dairy in it. I took neutralizing pills just in case.
 NB> Probably wise, especially considering your surroundings...

The condition seems to be stabilizing, but I am not thrifty with
the pills nonetheless. Today my dining companion had a "yen" for
pizza, so we went to Santarpio's, which in addition to the 14"
pies serves grilled pork sausage, lamb tips, or beef tips. This
time there was a special on lamb sausage, so I had that despite
guessing that the special was because not enough people had been
ordering the lamb tips lately. Also we "shared" a sausage, pepper,
and mushroom behemoth. I had a couple slices, and three pills
seemed to do the trick. Pretty good pizza. In case anyone cares,
the lamb sausage was the pepperiest I have ever eaten, lending
extra credence to the notion that it was made from perhaps slightly
last week meat.

 ML> Title: BFT Toad In The Hole
 NB> Unless served with frog legs... ;)

That would be a cool presentation, have your popover or
maybe a pile of mashed potatoes, and stick the hindquarters
of a frog in it, webfeet up.

 American version of course being
 NB> pigs in a blanket, among other names...

Yeah, and various noncorporeal creatures on horseback.

Dame Edna's Aftermath Quiche

7 oz frozen short crust pastry
Assorted canapes and party leftovers in general
Chopped parsley
1/2 pt milk
2 lg eggs
Paprika
Pineapple chunks to garnish

How sad it is, on the morning after a party, to see all those
tasty morsels and little canapes and savories you've slaved
over the day before, still sitting there on their soggy Ritz
crackers and jaded Jacobs, nibbled or neglected in the morning
light. Aftermath Quiche is the answer - with the odd deviled egg,
sardine, and those lovely cubes of cheese, salami, gherkin and
pickled onion, it is quite possible to make the most delicious
quiche. And quiches are so in, aren't they?

I prepare my short crust case first by unfreezing it. Then I flick
in all those toothsome morsels and leftovers. Keep an eye open for
broken glass and cigarette butts and garnish with a sprinkling of
chopped parsley. Then make the custard. Two eggs to 1 c of milk.
No vanilla, please! Fold custard gently over the filled pastry and
garnish with a dash of paprika and pineapple chunks (optional). Pop
into a 350 degree oven. Cook for about 30 min until your knife
comes out clean. Serve hot or cold.
