I'm not sure if there is anything to this, but this quote:

Quote:
the "pious flea" and "sleeping princess" (?)

MARK but this flea, and mark in this

don't like it

I can't help it

a proper fool

a bad banana

unimaginable filth and stench; and disease

he can't write his name or read a book


seems to follow loosely the recipe for Green Godess Facial [Recipe 8].

2 egg whites (the "pious flea" and "sleeping princess") [2 things]
1 cup fresh mint (MARK but this flea, and mark in this) [something important about mint?)
3 cups fresh spinach (don't like it) [Nobody likes spinach]
1 piece ginger (I can't help it) [Is Ginger somebody?]
3 tablespoons honey (a proper fool) [unsure]
1 ripe banana (a bad banana) [definite match]

Then if you look at the first line in the directions it says:
Rinse the spinach in a sink full of cold water, drain the sink, fill and rinse again. (unimaginable filth and stench) [You'd get filth and stench rinsing spinach, especially if you hate it]
Cut and peel ginger. (he can't write his name or read a book) [it says it can't help ginger in the ingredients]

Plus, there is no number 3 which fits with recipe 3 missing?

Here's all the lines I could find. Just googled most of these, omitted the results that were obviously nothing. If anything needs to be edited, let me know.

TS Eliot
One must be so careful these days
don't like it
a proper fool
I read much of the night


Stormy Weather
Life is bare, gloom and misery everywhere
Stormy weather, just can't get my poor old self together
the blues walked in and met me



Horton Hears a Who
"Of course I will stick. I'll stick by you though thin and though thick"



Julius Caaser
condition of extreme danger.



Thomas Campbell
The sleeping Princess friendless and alone



John Donne
MARK but this flea, and mark in this



Mark Twain
unimaginable filth and stench; and disease
a secret was revealed
I should not be able to make anyone understand how exciting it all was
I brought it home and hid it in a secret place
the house is so sad and lonesome


Bing Crosby
he can't write his name or read a book


John Keates
That I shall never look upon thee more



Other

Hiding from the queen
A game involving chess and having the queens cover the entire board


the sleeping princess are in hiding
notice the "Are" indicates plural. Dana and the Sleeping Princess are both hiding from the Queen presumably

She is human. She is flesh and blood.
from the bible? practically echos sentiments about christ

this one means you're happy
i found this at http://uffish.net/archives/000057.html. dont know if its relevant or not

met with many extraordinary adventures
exact quote from a history book from london in 1917. probably just coincidence

T-U-R-T-L-E Power! T-U-R-T-L-E Power! T-U-R-T-L-E Power! Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Power!
this is probably just the theme song...but its sung by Partners in Kryme. lyrics at http://lyrics.blueaudio.com/song/08829

Please move all puzzle discussion to the puzzle thread ....

http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5283

I know this can be confusing for those that are new, but once it is clear that any sort of interaction has a puzzle included in it, the discussion should be in the puzzles area.

Thanks Smile

I didn't send an email to Aunt M. I sent it directly to Dana.

But I still got the email from Aunt M's account.

I guess it wouldn't be that odd that IT is monitoring what Dana gets for e-mail.

I love spinach. It's full of important vitamins to help the body grow!

YAY! Heh, this makes me happy... It used a smiley face! IT USED A SMILEY FACE! Heh, ok, maybe I'm getting a little too excited about it, but still... It read my E-Mail!

This is what I wrote to it a little while ago...

danatwingSPLATyahoo.com Is trying to impersonate you.

Just thought you'd might like to know.

Oh, and since you like the internet, I thought I'd teach you a few smiley faces. When you'd like to show emotion, you use one. It's quite handy.

This one means you're happy: Smile
This one means you're angry: >Sad
This one means you're sad: Sad
This one means that you're joking about something: Razz

Hope this helps!"

horton hears a who

in light of horton hears a who being used in the latest email I thought I might mention this. I sent an email on july 28 to ladybee777SPLAThotmail.com with the text

Quote:
Horton Hears a Who (cont.)
Then, on through the afternoon, hour after hour…
Till he found them at last! On the three millionth flower!
"My friends!" cried the elephant. "Tell me! Do tell!
Are you safe? Are you sound? Are you whole? Are you well?"

From down on the speck came the voice of the Mayor:
"We've really had trouble! Much more than our share.
When that black-bottomed birdie let go and we dropped,
We landed so hard that our clocks have all stopped.
Our tea pots are broken. Our rocking-chairs are smashed.
And our bicycle tires all blew up when we crashed.
So, Horton, Please!" pleaded that voice of the Mayor's,
"Will you stick by us Whos while we're making repairs?"

"Of course," Horton answered. "Of course I will stick.
I'll stick by you
small folks though thin and though thick!"

"Humpf!" humpfed a voice!
"For almost two days you've run wild and insisted
On chatting with persons who've never existed.
Such carryings-on in our peaceable jungle!
We've had quite enough of your bellowing bungle!
And I'm here to state," snapped the big kangaroo,
"That your silly nonsensical game is all through!"
And the young kangaroo in her pouch said, "Me, too!"

"With the help of the Wickersham Brothers and dozens
Of Wickersham Uncles and Wickershams Cousins
And Wickersham In-Laws, whose help I've engaged,
You're going to be roped! And you're going to be caged!
And, as for your dust speck…hah!
That we shall boil
In a hot steaming kettle of Beezle-Nut Oil!"
"Boil it?…" gasped Horton!
"Oh, that you can't do!
It's all full of persons!
They'll prove it to you!"

"Mr. Mayor! Mr. Mayor!" Horton called. "Mr. Mayor!
You've got to prove that you really are there!
So call a big meeting. Get everyone out.
Make every Who holler! Make every Who shout!
Make every Who scream! If you don't, every Who
Is going to end up in a Beezle-Nut stew!"

And, down on the dust speck, the scared little Mayor
Quick called a big meeting in Who-ville Town Square.
And his people cried loudly. They cried out in fear:
"We are here! We are here! We are here!"

The elephant smiled: "That was clear as a bell.
You Kangaroos surely heard that very well."
"All I heard," snapped the big kangaroo, "Was the breeze,
And the faint sound of wind through the far-distant trees.
I heard no small voices. And you didn't either."
And the you kangaroo in her pouch said, "Me, neither."

"Grab him!" they shouted. "And cage the big dope!
Lasso his stomach with ten miles of rope!
Tie the knots tight so he'll never shake lose!
Then dunk that dumb speck in the Beezle-Nut juice!"


The bold being just added by me. I thought of it since I kept thinking, "are you safe, are you sound" so I decided to send that section, the first bit of text I found in Google. Yay for me, I got used! Very Happy

Note that "just can't get my poor old self together" is a line from the song "Stormy Weather".

I got the email too, and the above would be due to me - I was wondering if I could jolt its memory - an excessive fascination with said lyrics might have indicated a close connection to The Operator's/Melissa's thought processes.

Summat like that, anyhow. Smile

Here's the Stormy Weather lyrics I used for reference purposes...

Woo. I'm in the game!

I just thought of something... Maybe the people who received the letter are the ones the Princess got the snippets from to compose the letter? Like... maybe the only people who got this new email are the ones who wrote parts of it. Not sure how that helps, just a thought. Rolling Eyes

Not a bad thought, but I got the letter even though the Princess didn't reuse anything I ever sent to ladybee777.

For the chap above, there is a recipe 3, but it isn't on the recipe list...

Quote:
Honey-Glazed Lemon Chicken

Ingredients:
6 1/2- to 7-pound roasting chickens, rinsed, patted dry
1 1/2 cups fresh lemon juice (from about 6 large lemons)
3 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
2 cloves garlic, minced
Coarse kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup honey, heated until pourable

Place chicken in heavy-duty resealable plastic bag. Add lemon juice. Seal bags; turn chicken to coat. Refrigerate at least 6 hours and up to 1 day, turning bags occasionally.

Preheat oven to 425°F. Drain chickens; pat dry. Mix rosemary and garlic with salt and rub over chicken, add pepper to taste. Place chicken breast side down, on rack in large roasting pan. Roast 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F. Roast 45 minutes.

Turn chickens breast side up. Brush all over with honey. Continue to roast until cooked through and deep brown, basting with any juices in pan and brushing with honey occasionally, about 55 minutes longer. Transfer chickens to platter. Tent loosely with foil to keep warm and let stand 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, pour pan juices into small saucepan. Spoon off fat. Rewarm pan juices. Season with salt and pepper. Serve chickens with pan juices.
