    JEAN JOSEPH ETIENNE LENOIR built the first automobile with an internal- combustion engine. He had adapted his two-stroke cycle engine to run
    on liquid fuel and with his vehicle made a 6-mile (10-kilometre) trip
    that took two to three hours to complete. His other inventions include
    an electric brake for trains (1855), a motorboat using his engine (1886),
    and a method of tanning leather with ozone.

    Title: 40 Miles Hot Dog Surprise
    Categories: Five, Pork, Cheese, Beef
    Yield: 10 Servings

    10 (1/4 lb) all-meat hot dogs
    American cheese (or boutique
    - brand Wisconsin cheddar,
    - if you have an expensive
    - car), in hot dog-length
    - fingers
    10 sl Bacon

    At home or on the road, cut a deep slit in each wiener,
    and stuff with fingers of cheese. Then wrap on the
    diagonal, like an old bias-ply tire, with the bacon.
    Seal individually in foil.

    These are great for stuffing into those odd places on
    the engine where you can't fit a turkey or a suckling
    pig. Cook about 45 minutes, or until cheese is melted
    (40 or so miles) and bacon is somewhat crisp.

    04 July 1862 - BOREDOM WHILE BOATING HATCHES A FANTASTIC FABLE: Alice
    Liddell, 10, asks Charles Dodgson to tell her a story while they're
    boating near Oxford, England. He weaves a tale of a bored little girl
    who suddenly finds herself down a rabbit hole. Dodgson will later
    publish "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" under his pen name, Lewis
    Carroll.

    It received positive reviews upon release and is now one of the
    best-known works of Victorian literature; its narrative, structure,
    characters and imagery have had widespread influence on popular culture
    and literature, especially in the fantasy genre. It is credited as
    helping end an era of didacticism in children's literature, inaugurating
    an era in which writing for children aimed to "delight or entertain".
    The tale plays with logic, giving the story lasting popularity with
    adults as well as with children. The titular character Alice shares her
    name with Alice Liddell, a girl Carroll knew.

    Title: English Scones (Alice In Wonderland)
    Categories: Breads, Fruits, Dairy
    Yield: 8 servings

    2 c A-P flour
    1/4 c Sugar
    3 ts Baking powder
    1/4 ts Salt
    4 tb Butter; room temperature
    1/2 c Milk
    2 lg Eggs; divided
    1 ts Vanilla extract
    Strawberry jam; garnish
    Whipped cream; garnish

    Set oven @ 400ºF/205ºC.

    In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder,
    and salt; mix well. Using a pastry cutter or two forks,
    cut the butter into the dry ingredients until crumbly.
    In a small bowl, combine milk, 1 egg, and vanilla; whisk
    until combined. Add to flour mixture and stir just until
    blended.

    On a floured surface, knead dough 5 to 6 times until it
    comes together. Lightly pat the dough so that it is
    1/2-inch thick. There is no need to use a rolling pin
    with this dough. Using a 2-inch round biscuit cutter (or
    a drinking glass), cut into the dough. Place on an
    ungreased baking sheet. Gather any remaining dough, pat
    it so it is 1/2-inch thick, and cut it into circles
    until all the dough is used up.

    In a small bowl, beat remaining egg and brush on
    biscuits. Bake 13 to 15 minutes or until light golden.
    Serve warm with jam and whipped cream.
