I never expected to read about Fannie Farmer and lobotomies at the same time. :-) Happy TT and Happy Easter!

Fun list, though I’m afraid I have no idea who either of them are. Thanks for stopping by my list this week, hope you made it to your goal of 50.

I first became familiar with Frances Farmer from the movie in which Jessica Lange played her. It was amazing how much Jessica looked like Frances. I finally saw a film with Frances last year on Turner Classic Movies. It was one of the movies that you listed (Come and Get It). I really enjoyed it.

I loved this post, and especially the recipe (yum) and the hilarious stream-of-conciousness commentary I love about you. Communists, lobotomies, and Tom Kah Gai soup? Who else can put those things together? happy thursday – good luck with your quest for 50.

I liked this list a lot, especially since I *knew* they were not the same person, but when I had to explain why, I couldn’t lay my hands on a lot of facts. :D

Very cool!
