CHURROS

1 cup (250 ml) milk
2 cups (500 ml) water
1 Tbs (15 ml) Ghee or vegetable oil
1 tsp (5 ml) salt
3 cups (750 ml) all-purpose flour
1 tsp (5 ml) baking powder
1/4 tsp (1 ml) vanilla extract
Ghee or Vegetable oil for deep frying
Powdered (confectioner's) sugar, or Vanilla sugar for dusting

Combine the milk, water, tablespoon of vegetable oil, and salt in a
large saucepan and bring almost to a boil over high heat.  Add the
flour a little at a time, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon over
low heat.  When it has formed a smooth paste, remove it from the heat
and add the baking powder and vanilla.  Continue stirring until
thoroughly combined.  Heat the oil to a temperature of about 325F
(160C), or until the surface shimmers.  Place the dough in a pastry
bag with a wide, star tip.  Typically, churros are about 1/2 inch (1
cm) in diameter, with ridges running their length.  Pipe the dough
into the hot oil, forming straight fritters 6 to 8 inches (15 to 20
cm) in length.  Fry until golden brown and remove to paper towels to
drain.  Serve immediately, dusted with powdered sugar.
Serves 6 to 8.

[Text 2315302 from COM]

If lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked, doesn't it follow
that electricians can be delighted, musicians denoted, cowboys
deranged, models deposed, tree surgeons debarked and dry cleaners
depressed?

If you take an Oriental person and spin him around several times,
does he become disoriented?

Why do we say something is out of whack?  What is a whack?

Why do overlook and oversee mean opposite things?

Why isn't 11 pronounced onety one?

Why is it that if someone tells you that there are 40 billion stars
in the universe you will believe them, but if they tell you a wall
has wet paint you will have to touch it to be sure?

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

A devotee was giving class and was saying how wonderful the sanskrit
language is.

He was telling of the laws of grammar, and the Divine nature of it all.

He was saying how in sanskrit there can be many meaning to words
unlike any other language. He then told of grammar that allowed the
rare and near magical use of a double positive to mean a negative
in a sentance.

At this point another devotee said, "Yeah, right!!!"

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

[Text 1521271 from COM]

A LESSON IN HIMILITY:

[What follows is a transcript of an ACTUAL radio conversation
between a U.S. naval ship and Canadian authorities off the coast
of Newfoundland.]

Canadians: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the south to
avoid a collision.

Americans: Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the north
to avoid a collision.

Canadians: Negative. You will have to divert your course 15 degrees
to the south to avoid a collision.

Americans:  This is the captain of a U.S. Navy ship. I say again,
divert YOUR course.

Canadians:  No. I say again, you divert YOUR course.

Americans: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER U.S.S. LINCOLN, THE SECOND
LARGEST SHIP IN THE UNITED STATES' ATLANTIC FLEET. WE ARE
ACCOMPANIED BY THREE DESTROYERS, THREE CRUISERS AND NUMEROUS
SUPPORT VESSELS. I DEMAND THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15 DEGREES
NORTH. I SAY AGAIN, THAT'S ONE FIVE DEGREES NORTH, OR COUNTER
MEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP.

Canadians:  Er....this is a lighthouse. Your call.
