Post-Iowa-Caucus Day

Yesterday, our home phone rang 27 times.

For almost two years now, we have been visiting with Hillary and Bernie, as well as the 50 various Republican candidates. The last year has been non-stop, and the final month ramps up to unbearable pressure.

But, the MINUTE it's over -- they all pull out. Like rats off a sinking ship...

After all that activity, all that noise...the incredible pressure...today this is what we get.

Crickets.

Dead crickets.

Silent, quiet, dead crickets...

King Arthur Popover Recipe

Preheat oven to 425 degrees... then preheat the Popover Pan...it needs to be screaming hot. Butter the sides generously -- right before you pour the batter.

4 eggs
1 1/3 c. milk
1 1/3 c. all purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
3 tbl melted butter

Whisk eggs into milk. Make sure everything is room temp. Whisk in the flour & salt, add the melted butter at the end.

Pour thin batter into Popover pan (2/3 full) and bake for 30 minutes. DON'T OPEN THE DOOR.

When the popovers are done -- get them out of the pan ASAP and prick the top with a sharp knife to prevent collapse.

Serve with REAL BUTTER...that's mandatory. Homemade jam is optional...
