According to their ad in the Key West Citizen on Saturday, this is no bum steer, but a good direction to the real McCoy.
And if I can, I will save a little more and top it off with a Hot Fudge Sundae. Now there's a deal I can speak on with a little authority ever since the Monster. You see a Monster is made with that same wonderful hot fudge that is made especially by Nestle. It's so rich and chocolaty with just a bit of bittersweet to it to make it 'specially good. There is only one other place in all of Florida that gives such scoops of ice cream, and that is the Saxony Hotel in Miami Beach. It just sets me to wondering, exactly where DID they get that ice cream scoop, hmnmnm....?
Now I am not normally too curious, and the news that Key West would be hosting Siamese Twins did not exactly get me in a dither. Especially since I have been reading about Daisy and Violet Hilton ever since I could remember, and seen so many pictures of them. They are really quite good looking I understand. However, the powers of advertising being what they are (and I should know) I've gotten real excited. At this writing I haven't seen them, but I have a front row center all reserved, and armed with a clipping from the Citizen I am all ready for them.
Either this is going to be the most sensational stage show of all time, or else they have a wonderful press agent. Everytime I turn to the amusement page the following meets my eye: Daisy and Violet... the only female Siamese twins ever born and only the 3rd set of twins in over 3000 years. "Chained for Life," can a Siamese twin have a shy husband?... Now there's a good question. Is it legal to marry a Siamese twin?... and several other equally, or more, interesting questions. Also, "Why is Daisy's love different from Violet's?" By golly, this I have to see. If I can print it, I'll tell you all about it!
Well, Christmas has passed but the parties aren't over, and we are just getting well started on a big party season. Did you ever sit with your feet tucked under you, and everytime you did move, you felt as though everyone was looking at your feet... and all because you were sure you didn't quite have on the right shoes for the costume or maybe because they were a bit shabby?
Well a quick trip to Globe Shoe store will quickly remedy this state of affairs. Here you will not only find the color to match the costume, but the shoe to fit the occasion, whether it's in the Piccadilly side or the better shoe department.
For Dad and Junior too, there is a wide and varied selection, and don't forget the whites, regulation for Servicemen.
Well seeing as how I don't have commercial chocolate sauce by Nestle, I have a very good recipe I'd like to pass on for a creamy chocolate sauce that will keep long in the refrigerator and will never get gummy or stringy.
Combine one square of unsweetened chocolate and one cup of milk, fresh or canned in the top of a double boiler. Heat over boiling water until the chocolate melts. Use more chocolate if you favor a bittersweet flavor. Beat with a rotary beater until smooth. Combine one tablespoon flour, one cup sugar and a dash of salt in a bowl, then stir in the hot mixture. Return to the boiler and cook until thickened, stirring constantly. Then add two teaspoons of butter and one half teaspoon vanilla. Makes good topping for old cake or ice cream. Try it sprinkled with nut meats. This amount should make from four to six servings.
Some people are sweet
Some people are saucy
Some people polite
And others plain bossy.
New Donald. I've found
Much worse than the rest
But at fixing your hair
Donald's always is best.
