The Seven Seas

Joel — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 07:41:20 +0000

The term “the seven seas” does not refer to a specific set of bodies of water in the way that other numbered lists do. Instead, it is used in a figurative way to indicate all of the large bodies of water on Earth.

The Seven Character Types of Vladimir Propp

Joel — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 05:12:42 +0000

The villain—struggles against the hero
The donor—prepares the hero or gives the hero some magical object
The (magical) helper—helps the hero in the quest
The princess and her father—gives the task to the hero, identifies the false hero, marries the hero, often sought for during the narrative. Propp noted that functionally, the princess and the father can not be clearly distinguished
The dispatcher—character who makes the lack known and sends the hero off.
The hero or victim/seeker hero—reacts to the donor, weds the princess
False hero—takes credit for the hero’s actions or tries to marry the princess.

These roles could sometimes be distributed among various characters, as the hero kills the villain dragon, and the dragon’s sisters take on the villainous role of chasing him. Conversely, one character could engage in acts as more than one role, as a father could send his son on the quest and give him a sword, acting as both dispatcher and donor.

Seven-Layer Dip

Joel — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 04:08:15 +0000

Seven-layer dip is a snack dip served with tortilla chips as an appetizer in the United States.

As is so often the case with numbered lists like this, there is no definitive list of the seven ingredients in Seven-Layer Dip. All recipes call for at least:

Refried beans
Guacamole
Sour cream
A spicy sauce, usually salsa, but possibly pico de gallo or simply chopped tomatoes
Shredded cheese, usually Cheddar, but possibly Monterey Jack cheese or a blend of both

Other ingredients can include:

Seven-Layer Bars

Joel — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 03:46:06 +0000

1 1/3 cups of graham-cracker crumbs (about 8 sheets)
½ cup of butter, melted
1 can (14 oz.) of sweetened condensed milk
1 cup (6 oz.) of semi-sweet chocolate chips (half of a package)
1 cup (6 oz.) of peanut butter or butterscotch chips (half of a package)
1 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts
1 cup of shredded coconut

Pre-heat oven to 325°F.

Combine the graham-cracker crumbs and butter. Pat mixture into a 9 x 13 pan. Spread in layers: first the sweetened condensed milk, then the chocolate chips, next the peanut butter or butterscotch chips, then the nuts, and finally the coconut. Do not mix or stir the ingredients. Put into oven and bake for 25 minutes. Let cool completely and then cut into bars.

Yes, yes. It is not quite seven layers as the graham-cracker crumbs are mix with the butter. However, if you are a real stickler for this kind of thing, simply pour the melted butter into the 9 x 13 pan first and then press into the pan the graham-cracker crumbs. This should turn out pretty much the same except that the crust won’t be as nice.
