Nelson Eddy’s Shortnin’ Bread Recipe

Nelson Eddy eating

Nelson Eddy’s Shortnin’ Bread recipe has been published in several places over the years but I thought you would enjoy it.

From an old movie magazine: “[Nelson Eddy] admits that much of his fan mail contains shortnin’ bread formulae from well-meaning listeners who try to fill his aching void. In desperation, Eddy conducted a month of experiments in his kitchen and now sends his own recipe for shortnin’ bread in retaliation. The pastry, a la Nelson:”

Prep time: 10 Min. Cook time: 25 Min. Serves: 18

Ingredients
4 cups sifted flour
1 cup light brown sugar
2 cups butter or other shortening
1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions
Mix dry ingredients. Work in butter.
Press on a floured board to 1/2” thickness. Cut to shape and bake in a moderate oven, 20-25 minutes.

Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy: Important Cruise Update! Make your reservation before November 12!

Our Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy cruise is going to be AWESOME!

We just received an important cruise update from Hallie: “Carnival is asking for all final deposits on new cabins by November 12th. Final payments for everything are due November 23rd. Can you send out an updated note to people – so that they don’t miss out on this? I will have to release a chunk of rooms that don’t have deposits by November 12—but I can hold on to some until November 23 – they just cannot guarantee them. We can, however, keep booking them after that point but at a slightly higher rate.”

This cruise is going to be amazing – we may have some other surprise guests but I’m not at liberty to say more than that – don’t miss out – call Hallie TODAY and discuss rooms, prices, etc., if you think you might be interested. Also, if you need a roommate, Hallie can help pair you up!

Contact her immediately at 212-874-1670 or email her at highctravel@yahoo.com.

See Jeanette MacDonald’s “Love Me Tonight” in a theater, free!

Jeanette MacDonald and Maurice Chevalier in Love Me Tonight

A great deal for Jeanette MacDonald fans living in or near Culpeper, Virginia!

See her 1932 hit with co-star Maurice Chevalier tonight only, November 7!

Not only do you see it in a theater but admission is – free!

Long before Tom Jones and his burning heart belted out “Love Me Tonight,” this title was a racy movie musical from 1932.

Pulled from release a couple of years later because it was thought to be too suggestive, this exceptional, rarely seen silver-screen film premieres for free tonight at 7:30 in the Mount Pony Theater, and tickets are still available.

Talk about a cheap date.

“Love Me Tonight,” on the other hand, promises to be “wise, knowing, life-embracing, and absolutely beautiful,” says Larry Smith, nitrate film specialist at the Library of Congress National Audio Visual Conservation Center Packard Campus on Mount Pony.

Paris-born actor Maurice Chevalier stars as a poor French tailor who passes for royalty, and is apparently the Tom Jones type: wink, wink.

A young and pretty Jeanette MacDonald plays a lonely princess, who’s not just wasting away, but wasted.

Smith, who’s been watching movies for most of his 51 years, names “Love Me Tonight” as his all-time favorite, and not only that, “a cause for celebration.”

The movie, running 1 hour and 22 minutes, “is a madcap musical tour de force of infectious melody from first frame to last,” Smith says.

Check out No. 1 on his top 10 list of why “Love Me Tonight” rises to the top in today’s In & Around section. And reserve your seat for some culture in Culpeper by calling the Mount Pony Theater reservation line at 827-1079 ext. 79994.
