- The gold I found in the purse under Mme de Veau's pillow funded my lavish expedition to find the Vegetable Lamb of Tartary in its native habitat. My ship sailed from Constantinople
- which became Instanbul after I returned. Damn. How do you like that, I leave for a week looking for the Vegetable Lamb of Tartary and my home town has a new name. Good grief!

- & hold in place with drawing pins. Using a slipstick & protractor, cut the pie graph into equal slices before serving a piece to the first person displaying a pair of compasses.
- "Nice 'compasses'," they said, looking the pie participants up and down. Everyone enjoyed the pie, ignorant of the special ingredient that made it so flavorful...
