第1章 Dedicatory Verse

For David Hammond and Michael Longley

This morning from a dewy motorway

I saw the new camp for the internees:

a bomb had left a crater of fresh clay

in the roadside, and over in the trees

machine-gun posts defined a real stockade.

There was that white mist you get on a low ground

and it was déjà-vu, some film made

of Stalag 17, a bad dream with no sound.

Is there a life before death? That's chalked up

on a wall downtown. Competence with pain,

coherent miseries, a bite and sup,

we hug our little destiny again.

    The Uncanny Express (The Unintentional Adventures

    Jaundice and Kale are back from their adventure on the high seas, and they are settling back into a quiet life in Dullsville, just the way they like it. The tea is tepid, the oatmeal is tasteless, and the socks are ripe for darning … until Aunt Shallot shows up and reveals herself to be anything but the dull relation they were expecting. Instead, she tells her nieces she is Magique, Queen of Magic, and she's on her way to a big show and in need of two willing assistants. As Magique and the Bland sisters board the Uncanny Express, they meet a cast of mystifying characters. And when Magique goes missing, it's up to Jaundice and Kale to solve the mystery—with the help of famous detective Hugo Fromage. An inventive story in the tradition of Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express, TheUnintentional Adventures of the Bland Sisters: The Uncanny Express has all the whimsy and humor that readers who are looking for an anything-but-bland adventure will love.

With 35 inventive recipes based on her interactions with guys from all walks of life, from a Sticky Maple Kiss Cake to a Bitter Chocolate Dump Cake, this charming book pairs each cake with a short essay and tongue-in-cheek lesson about picking up boys in bars.
