It sounds like you had a 'tube pan' rather than a bundt pan. Tube pans were made for angelfood cakes, and the base disconnected from the rest of the pan. The idea was to put the entire thing - cake and pan - upside down on some sort of holder, let it cool completely, and then remove the middle hole and base, and then the side section.

I only know this from reading the 1950s Betty Crocker cookbook years ago, when I would run out of reading material before the next trip to the library. Later (failed) culinary experiments suggested that 1950s Betty Crocker knew whereof she spoke.

Too ugly to bring to a dinner party but still delicious enough to eat. I made cupcakes to give and ate the crumbled chocolate cake. Tasted like broken lava cake. Yummy.

You are absolutely correct. It wasn't a bundt cake pan. I don't know where that pan came from, seriously. My mom dug it out from one of the cabinets. I think maybe she bought it a very long time ago or someone gave it to us.

Also used for pound cakes, fruit cakes, per my long gone Mom.

You're right. I don't recall pound cakes but I do remember seeing fruit cakes in that shape.

I have a friend who just got an esthetician license>She cracked a joke about her job being harder than most because she waxes 'vaginas' . I told her she waxed 'vulvae' and that vaginas do not grow hair.

Tonite on "2 1/2 men" a character on the show was an esthetician who also claimed to 'wax vaginas' . Is this how our society is being 'dumbed' down? If someone is going to put hot wax on a body shouldn't they know what that part of the body is called? {vulva} Is it funnier to say vagina?

I have actually had someone tell me that people are dumber because there are so many guys that breed with sheep and those babies they have just can't learn like regular people... UM WHAT?

If you said 'wax your Vulva' people would hear, 'wax your Volvo'

orthodoc · 12-12-2013, 11:47 PM

But women don't walk into places like 'The Screamin' Peach' and ask for a car wax. Trust me.

Sorry, Nirvana, but you're right. Time to break out the old 'Our Bodies, Ourselves' books and hand out the hand mirrors. If I were in another branch of medicine I'd be doing that, but it's not my specialty anymore.

Ummm... would I be a giant asshole if I suggested that you may not be allowed to talking about dumbing down if you are tuning in to 2.5 men?

glatt · 12-13-2013, 07:24 AM

Tuning into a show like 2.5 men is a lot like staring into a nice camp fire. You're just shutting your brain off and taking a break. It's like a mini vacation.

Reminds me of when I taught Microbiology 101.

In the lab, we had one exercise where each student would take swabs of
various areas of their own body to see what kinds of bacteria would grow out.

There were often expressions of concern on some student faces
when we read off the list of areas to sample and came to "axilla".

Nirvana · 12-13-2013, 09:21 AM

2.5 men was only background noise for my ebay x mas shopping. I do not have cable so I have less than 10 channels and PBS had a rerun.

Nirvana · 12-13-2013, 09:29 AM

LampL I admit I googled because I did have an inkling that axilla meant armpit but I wanted to be sure

If you have auto correct it does not recognize the word.

I don't generally talk about vaginas to the general public but I have mentioned to shirt tail family members in hushed whispers that the vagina was inside not outside the body

footfootfoot · 12-13-2013, 09:32 AM

What constitutes the "pussy"? is it the combination of the two?

Sundae · 12-13-2013, 09:56 AM

Pussy is the cat.
Douche is the cat-wash.
Ranch is the sauce.

And Nirvana is literally the optimist who hopes that we're not all going to end up with hairy palms.
