Statues come alive

Statues come alive
street performers posing as statues. Some whistle when you pass by, some move when you give them money. Some do it as a career, others between jobs. But whatever the case, being a living statue takes guts, strength, creativity and yes, a good deal of exhibitionism.

We have the best congress that money can buy.

Facts
Leonardo Di Vinci invented the scissors.
A hummingbird weighs less than a penny.
Crushed up cockroaches help as a pain reliever when rubbed on minor scrapes and burns.
Our calendar repeats itself every 400 years.
On 15 April 1912 the SS Titanic sunk on her maiden voyage and over 1,500 people died. Fourteen years earlier, a novel was published by Morgan Robertson which seemed to foretell the disaster. The book described a ship the same size as the Titanic which crashes into an iceberg on its maiden voyage on a misty April night. The name of Robertson's fictional ship was the Titan.

Tips
For evenly round tops on nut bread and muffins, grease baking pans or
muffin cups on the bottom and only 1/2 up the sides. Do this and your batter will not cling to the sides of the pan instead of sliding back down.

Tenderize pot roast or stewing meat by using 2 Cups of hot tea as cooking liquid.

TIME: Prep: 45 min. Cook: 20 min. + freezing
Ingredients:
2/3 cup graham cracker crumbs
2 tablespoons butter, melted
5 teaspoons sugar
FILLING:
3 eggs, separated
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon water, divided
1 cup sugar, divided
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 package (8 ounces) reduced-fat cream cheese
1-1/2 cups reduced-fat whipped topping
1 package (10 ounces) frozen sweetened raspberries, thawed
Directions:
In a small bowl, combine the cracker crumbs, butter and sugar. Press into an 11-in. x 7-in. dish coated with cooking spray. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, for filling, in a small heavy saucepan, combine the egg yolks, 1/4 cup water, 1/2 cup sugar and salt. Cook and stir over low heat until mixture reaches 160° or is thick enough to coat the back of a metal spoon.
Cool quickly by placing pan in a bowl of ice water; stir for 2 minutes. Set aside.
In a small heavy saucepan over low heat, combine the egg whites, cream of tartar and remaining water and sugar. With a portable mixer, beat on low speed until mixture reaches 160°. Transfer to a small mixing bowl; beat on high until soft peaks form. In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually beat in egg yolk mixture. Fold in whipped topping, then egg white mixture.
Drain raspberries, reserving 3 tablespoons juice. In a small bowl, crush half of berries with 1 tablespoon juice. Set remaining berries and juice aside. Spread a third of cream cheese mixture over crust; spoon half of crushed berry mixture over the top. Repeat layers. Cut through with a knife to swirl raspberries.
Top with remaining cream cheese mixture. Sprinkle with reserved berries and drizzle with remaining juice. Cover and freeze for 5 hours or until firm. Remove from the freezer 15 minutes before cutting. Yield: 12 servings.
