20 July 1969 - ONE GIANT LEAP FOR MANKIND AS ARMSTRONG WALKS ON MOON:
NASA's Apollo 11 Lunar Module lands 238,855 miles from Earth in the Sea
of Tranquility and six hours later astronaut Neil Armstrong exits the
vehicle, descends a short ladder, and becomes the first human to walk
on the moon. Minutes later, astronaut Buzz Aldrin will join Armstrong
on the surface. Millions back home tune in to the historic event.
UDD NOTE: Contrary to popular belief the first communication spoken
from the surface of the moon was "Contact light" by Neil Armstrong.
Followed by "Shutdown". Armstrong again.
"413 is on". Aldrin
"Houston, Tranquillity Base here. The Eagle has landed." Armstrong
The first word spoken by a human standing on the surface of the moon
were "It's some sort of powdery stuff." Followed by the set-piece where Armstrong declaims "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for Mankind." He was supposed to say "a man" but in my tape which I
recorded live off-the-air he elided the "a". Sadly the reel to reel
tape was ruined in my mid 1980s house fire.

Title: Moon Pies
Categories: Snacks, Cookies, Chocolate, Dairy
Yield: 24 Moon pies
1/2 c Butter; softened
1 c White sugar
1 lg Egg
1 c Evaporated milk
1 ts Vanilla extract
2 c All-purpose flour
1/2 ts Salt
1/2 c Unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 ts Baking soda
1/2 ts Baking powder
1/2 c Butter; softened
1 c Confectioners' sugar
1/2 ts Vanilla extract
1 c Marshmallow creme
Set oven @ 400ºF/205ºC.
Lightly grease a cookie sheet.
TO MAKE COOKIE CRUSTS: In a large mixing bowl, cream
together 1/2 cup butter and white sugar. Add egg,
evaporated milk, and vanilla. Mix well. In a separate
bowl, mix together flour, salt, cocoa powder, baking
soda, and baking powder. Add flour mixture slowly to
sugar mixture while stirring. Mix just until all
ingredients are combined.
Drop the dough onto greased cookie sheet by rounded
tablespoonfuls. Leave at least 3" in between each one;
dough will spread as it bakes.
Bake in preheated oven for 6 to 8 minutes, until firm when
pressed with finger. Allow to cool at least one hour
before filling.
TO MAKE MARSHMALLOW FILLING: In a medium mixing bowl,
blend together 1/2 cup butter, confectioners' sugar,
flavored extract, and marshmallow creme. Mix until
smooth.
Assemble pies by spreading 1 to 2 tablespoonfuls of
filling on flat side of a cookie crust, then covering
filling with flat side of another cookie crust.
NOTE: In the south RC Cola is the preferred beverage
to accompany a Moon Pie.
