...series of manic bumbles follows. A naive disguise of clipped hair, a new mustache and a tanning parlor's efforts almost gets Lundgren expelled from a "straight" bar in Key West as a gay tourist. Ever the optimist, Lundgren reflects: "Rare, indeed, is a woman or man so sullied that they can't be rebaptized with a few drinks, a pizza, and a shower." Disdaining the private eye's code of resisting advances by female suspects, Warlock goes on an erotic tear. Mrs. Rabun, an art gallery owner, lures him with cocaine, and her friend Laura Fardel...
...team moved swiftly The Bath Industries name waw changed to Congoleum, reflecting that company's contribution to its survival. Smaller, unprofitable companies like Coronet Manufacturing Co. and Howard Parlor Furniture Co. that had been acquired by Bath Industries were sold off. BIW aggressively went after and won a big chunk of the Navy's guided-missile frigate program, and began writing contracts with markups for increased costs...

People buy Bob's Kahlua for $17 per gal., and some have spent $40 to airfreight it across the country. Owner...
...certainly easy to make your own ice cream, especially with the new Waring Ice Cream Parlor. It used to be such a hassle to chop up the ice and to find the coarse salt, but now you can use plain ice cubes and table salt, and it only takes 20 or 30 min. to freeze. I have a very nice sour cream recipe that features whole eggs, sugar, vanilla, and sour cream in place of fresh cream. I also do a fresh fruit sherbet. When Bartlett pears are in season, they have the best flavor. Fresh strawberries and raspberries...
