an original manuscript of a Dickinson cake recipe that contained coconut. That recipe calls for the following ingredients.

1 cup coconut

2 cups flour

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup butter

1/2 cup milk

2 eggs

1/2 teaspoon soda

1 teaspoon cream of tartar кислая винно-калиевая соль; кислый винно-кислый калий; виннокислый калий

“ I used a different version of Dickinson's recipe as my starting point, which was enclosed in a letter to the poet from a Mrs. Carmichael:

1 pound sugar –

1/2 – Butter –

1/2 – Flour –

6 eggs –

1 grated Cocoa Nut –

Either, or both, could be Dickinson's "original" recipe for coconut cake. Neither recipe included directions, just the list of ingredients.

Emily Dickinson's Coconut Cake, Retouched for the 21st Century

(This recipe was adapted and modified from the original — Letter #665 in The Letters of Emily Dickinson, edited by Thomas Johnson, and is indebted to several measurement suggestions in Emily Dickinson: Profile of the Poet as Cook.)

2 cups Coconut Secret® coconut sap sugar

1 cup Earth Balance® butter substitute

2 cups brown rice flour (Arrowhead Mills® gluten-free "Improved Texture" mix works well)

6 eggs (separate yolks and whites)

1 ½ to 2 cups shredded, unsweetened coconut (can also use flaked coconut, coarsely chopped)

1 cup coconut milk

Rather than make a simple icing, standard fare in the 19th-century, based partly on the ingredients I had lying around, I decided to go with this topping instead. It worked very well.

1-2 cups flaked coconut, unsweetened

½ cup orange blossom honey

Zest of four limes

Juice of two limes

Preheat oven to 350 Fahrenheit. In a large bowl, blend butter-substitute and coconut sugar. Add brown rice flour and beaten egg yolks. Beat egg whites until slightly frothy and add to batter. Gradually add shredded coconut and coconut milk, blending all ingredients thoroughly. Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with coconut oil. Pour batter into the greased dish (the baking dish should be half full). Bake for 25 minutes in a convection oven (probably 30-35 minutes in a regular oven). Mix the coconut-lime topping. Remove from heat, let cool for a few minutes, spread the topping evenly over the cake.”

The 11 th of December, 1965 60 years Sherrilyn Kenyon is a best-selling American writer. She has also written historical novels with paranormal elements under the pseudonym Kinley MacGregor.

In the modern world, we are all constantly writing, whether it’s texting, posting, or emailing. Writing is a vital part of everyday life, and it keeps us from looking or feeling stupid. You have to know how to construct proper sentences, convey feelings, and punctuate appropriately.

Never give up. Never surrender. Fight for your dream and never take rejections personally.

Growing up, books were my lifeline, and I owe a debt to those writers that can never be repaid. They saved my sanity and gave me a world I could escape to. If I can pay that forward to another person, that’s all I ask.

The 15 th of December, 1930 95 years Edna O’Brien was an Irish novelist, playwright, poet and short story writer

Countries are either mothers or fathers, and engender the emotional bristle |ˈbrɪs(ə)l| ощетинивание secretly reserved for either sire. |ˈsaɪə| отец, сир, производитель, родитель; предок

When anyone asks me about the Irish character, I say look at the trees. Maimed, |meɪmd| изувеченные stark, |stɑːk| сильные, полные, застывшие, окоченевшие, ничем не украшенные, неистовые, твёрдые, непреклонные; стойкие and misshapen, |mɪsˈʃeɪp(ə)n| деформированные but ferociously |fɪˈrəʊʃəslɪ| яростно tenacious. |tɪˈneɪʃəs| цепкие, упорные, упрямые, крепкие

It is increasingly clear that the fate of the universe will come to depend more and more on individuals as the bungling |ˈbʌŋɡəlɪŋ| путаница, головотяпство, неумелая работа of bureaucracy permeates |ˈpɜːmɪeɪts| пронизывает every corner of our existence.

Edna O’Brien: On Reading

‘ I am a slow reader, because I want to savour and recall what I read. The excitement and sense of discovery is not the same as in those days when I would get thoroughly wrapped up in Vanity Fair or War and Peace . Now I set myself a task of reading one great book each year. Last year I read Bleak House , which I think is the greatest English novel—I read a few pages a day.

But one’s taste changes so much. I mentioned Scott Fitzgerald , whom I read, oh, so lovingly and thoroughly! I loved Tender Is the Night and The Great Gatsby , which is a flawless novel. So I can say that he was one of my early influences.

But now I know that fundamentally I respond to European literature in all its dark ramifications. |ˌræmɪfɪˈkeɪʃ(ə)n|ветвление, разветвление, ответвление I think the Russians are unsurpassable. Of course Joyce did something extraordinary: he threw out the entire heritage of English literature—language, story, structure, everything—and created a new and stupendous |stjuːˈpendəs|колоссальный; громадный, изумительный, огромной важности work.

But for emotional gravity, no one can compare with the Russians. When I first read Chekhov’s short stories, before I saw his plays, I knew I had heard the voice that I loved most in the whole world. I wrote to my sister, ‘ Read Chekhov—he does not write, he breathes life off the page .’ And he was, and still is, my greatest influence, especially in short-story writing.’

In 2006, O’Brien was appointed adjunct professor of English Literature in University College, Dublin.

The 16 th of December, 1775 250 years Jane Austen was an English novelist whose works of fiction, set among the landed gentry, made her one of the most widely read writers in English literature

My idea of good company is the company of clever, well-informed people who have a great deal of conversation; that is what I call good company

There is nothing like staying at home for real comfort.

I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of any thing than of a book! — When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.

The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid.
