Might've gone mad and bought a whole bunch of pulp reprints. Gil Brewer, wildly underrated. Douglas Sanderson's early gay novel. Female-written crime novel filmed as Otto Preminger noir classic! A whole bunch of fatale-type femmes. Hot diggetty!

I blame my Mario cart obsession on Wacky Races.
Wacky Races (intro) 1968
Wacky Races is an American animated television series produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions and Heatter-Quigley Productions. The series was possibly inspired...

An old roommate made something from a Maida Heatter cookbook that was chocolate batter poured into a pie plate and baked. It came out like chewy brownie crust with chocolate mousse fǰilling, and holy moly it was heaven!
I can't find the recipe but there's an entire cookbook for chocolate!

I know this one; basically Wacky Races was originally going to have a game show segment where kids guess who will win the race in order to win prizes and despite the fact that the gameshow segment was removed, the gameshow company, Heatter-Quigley Productions, still half owned all the characters

WHEW: I guessed right about the salt (for anyone who read my earlier panicked baking post)! And this chocolate-gingerbread cake (from Maida Heatter's Happiness is Baking) is DELISH. Happy Sunday baking!

That's the thing though.
Hanna-Barbera owned the trademarks to the characters and series outright and co-owned the copyright with Heatter-Quigley.
Heatter-Quigley's stake was largely for the unproduced game show portion and held by them but not included when they sold their company to Filmways.

I like how you and @sklperry.bsky.social write recipes from the perspective of someone who has actually made them before. Very few people do that. Joan Nathan, Maida Heatter, sometimes King Arthur, come to mind, but it's rare. I like touches like "it will look wrong, but keep going".
