A Christmas Carol, Baking and News

I'm rewriting A Christmas Carol again--TTC is doing a smaller, version of it this year. It's going to be staged in the Hoboken Historical Museum which is an interesting space. Not huge but it has some cool features like a balcony and stairs. Anyway, we're doing it as a reading, so I have to figure out how to slim down the script and keep a good amount of music (it wouldn't be MY Xmas Carol without all that exquisitely Anglican music!).

I made apple-y stuff last weekend with the apples we picked--I found a great recipe for apple bread, very rich and sweet with walnuts. (Well, I played with it a bit, substituted some brown sugar for some of the regular sugar for which the recipe called. It made it VERY moist with a kind of streusel thing going through it.) The batter tasted fantastic, like cookies. I also made some applesauce. Tonight I want to make a pie--I took a quick peek for my glass pie pan in the cabinets and didn't see it but it must be there.

Oh, and Polanski update: Emma Thompson mercifully saw reason and is removing her name from the disgusting petition of support for Polanski, the rape-rapist. Yay for sanity!

Question about the Leo Frank case

I've been rereading some articles about the Frank case. Can anyone tell me who is supposed to have written those two notes? Was it really the little girl? Surely Conley wouldn't have planted them there, since they implicate him.

Reading about this case makes me hate people.
