[WXBH-Discuss] taste the difference...

Mon Mar 5 12:01:07 CST 2007

Seems I mentioned the specific mention of Cakewalk in the text after pondering the details of the bats in Indiana.  I just kept flashing back to the bat eating fruit and spreading seeds and thinking it funny that a dessert contest was associated with that natural cycle.  oops.

  I appreciate the cakewalk tradition even more now even though I was generally more focused on the concept of a community sharing recipes and finding common value in a good dessert. Maybe a cookbook publishing of all those sassy recipes would be a nice way to raise some funds for Heartwood group as a follow up to this event by way of further sharing that diversity that we were working in our Taste of Old Louisville Desserts last year event when we had a similar tasting gathering of fun and celebration.

   thanks again,  kristin

winner received a piece of cake.

And yes, we have diversity: vegan chocolate, parsnip cake, pawpaw pie....

Thanks for the interest,
Steve

The Indiana bat has been on the Endangered Species List longer than any
other creature.
> The Indiana bat once numbered in the millions. Then in 1967, as its
numbers fell to only 1 million, it joined the American Bald Eagle as species
first listed on the Endangered Species Act. Now, 40 years later, the bat is
more endangered than ever, its numbers have fallen below 400,000 and
scientists and politicians admit there is heavy pressure from big business
to have it de-listed.

if there is an attempt to diminish this important mammal's standing in the

> Learn how new methods for counting bats now being developed by scientists
commissioned by your government are designed, they admit, to lead to the
bat's de-listing. That action would open up new lands in the Daniel Boone
and Hoosier National Forests for logging, road-building and mining.
