So on with the show! Here's a recipe for... date nut bars. What you need is one cup of chalk dates, one cup of chalk nuts, one cup of small marshmallow pieces, some graham crackers, one cup of heavy cream, and some salt. First,

you take your graham crackers and put it in a plastic bag. Now, with a rolling pin or a bottle or whatever you like, you crush your graham crackers until until you get fine crumbs. That's about good enough. Now you open the bag And you measure one cup and one-half.

Now you mix it up with your top dates, chopped nuts small marshmallow pieces and the salt one quarter teaspoon of it that's a very small amount. Now you mix it up. Now you take the heavy cream and pour it in a little at a time. Now you mix it all up until your graham cracker crumbs are moist. Now you take your mixture and spread it on a pie plate and put in the refrigerator overnight and

when you take it out it looks like this oh boy can't wait to eat this Mountain climbing is something you can do with a lot of your friends. Chris has been climbing as long as I have. And there's John. He's Chris's brother. Ross has been my friend for a long time. He met in school. He's a real good climber. Steve's my older brother. He's been climbing for quite a while. My father knows a lot about mountain climbing, and he's taught me everything I know. He's climbed all the major peaks in the state of Washington.

I've only been up to Sunrise Ridge here on Mount Rainier a couple of times. It's almost straight up. Our goal today is to climb all the way up to the ridge above the snow. It's about a thousand feet from where we are now. Okay guys, let's rope up. When you rope up, you usually have three people to a rope and two rope teams to a party. Let's do it this way. Stewie, why don't you take the middle? And Chris, how about the end? Okay guys, keep pulling in on the rope. so if one person falls everyone else can stop it okay Chris I'll show you how to tie in the end man Stewie go ahead and tie in tighten it up now that cannot come untied those half hitches after that

bowlin's tied off you're in there good and secure it's nice and tight just make sure that rope always stays nice and tight okay we're up tight nice and tight nice and tight okay guys we're gonna go across now and let's just remember again you've done this lots of times before but if anybody falls no matter who it is yell falling don't look around just yell falling get the self arrest position and keep your legs spread apart keep your legs spread apart and keep those crampons away from your legs okay remember that okay crampons are sort of a second shoe that goes on the outside of your boot that has spikes in it it would be really hard to climb on steep snow or ice without crampons because if you didn't you would just slide around climbing is

a lot of hard work and you need to be in good shape on that when you're even down in the low elevations the snow stays all year I like climbing on snow better than on rocks because on rocks it's sort of harder and snow you can just go right up you got some good hand holes down there and some good footholds i got you come on up that's it swing on up that's it right on up let's move on back all the way and let's bring chris up now huh It's gonna be a little tight.

Hold it Stuart, let me get a good strong belay on you. Okay, start climbing Hey, Stu, you're doing great, how's it going, huh, okay, good, just about got the pitch

It was sent in by Holly Thompson of Wenham, Massachusetts. The night the bathtub overflowed, we were staying at Old Mosquito. Mosquito is an inn, you know, a funny place with a name like so. It overflowed on a night in June, an awful night when there was no moon. it overflowed unexpectedly the water ran up to my feet quickly the water rose up to my knees it was very cold and the color of blue cheese then it went up to my waist oh my gosh i'd better make haste i suddenly realized the faucet was on so i pulled the plug and the water went down It was an awful night at Mosquito, the night the bathtub overflowed. I come from a musical family, and my father makes recorders and flutes.

I play violin. And recorder. and um tuba I'm in a band at school we call it the school band conducted by Mr. Summer 1, 2, 3 One day, Mr. Stummer came up to our classroom and asked. Would someone like to play the tuba?

And I said I'd like to. The tuba is a gorgeous sounding instrument. It gives us the bottom of the band. We need the low notes, the foundation of the band, the rich, the rich tones of the bass. when i told mrs stummer i'd like to take the tuba everybody laughed and said oh you're so skinny how could you play the tuba you probably can't even lift the thing well i can't When I blow into the tuba, I don't blow like I would blow into a recorder. I don't go like, no. I blow, more vibrate my lips, like. And when I play a high note, I have to flex my cheek muscles, like this.

When I play a low note, I pouch my cheeks out, like this. boom boom okay okay let's take it from here those are good intervals hard intervals same as this over here uh let's let me hear it from here let me have that run one more time see if it can get nice and smooth one phrase how fast do you want me to do it about this speed list okay let that speak why don't you think of the tile rustic wedding symphony rustic wedding very you know light okay easy not so heavy when i start laughing and try to play i can't i can't play i can't get my lips into the right
