Q. i have no specifics, i am a cook for my church and a fellow ask me if i tried the watermelon cake the was featured in a jet or ebony magazine this summer. i just wanted to know if there was such a recipe.
A. Make a big hit with both kids and adults by using watermelon in a bundt cake. Use miniature chocolate chips to simulate watermelon seeds, if you wish. You can make this cake in a sheet pan, but reduce the baking time accordingly.
INGREDIENTS:
1 (2-layer package) white cake mix
1 small package mixed fruit gelatin powder
1-1/3 cups seedless watermelon cut from the center and cubed into 1-inch blocks
3 egg whites
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 cup miniature chocolate chips, optional
.
Frosting:
1/4 cup watermelon juice
1/2 cup butter, at room temperature
2 cups powdered sugar
2 (3-ounce) packages cream cheese, at room temperature
2 to 3 drops red food coloring, optional
1/8 cup miniature chocolate chips, optional
PREPARATION:
Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease and flour a bundt cake pan (or 9 x 13-inch cake pan).
In a medium bowl, whisk together cake mix and gelatin powder until combined. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat watermelon, egg whites, and vegetable oil until smooth. Add dry ingredients, half at a time, and mix until well-blended. Fold in chocolate chips, if using.
Pour into prepared pan and bake about 35 minutes until toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool to room temperature before frosting.
For the frosting, blend watermelon juice, butter, powdered sugar, and cream cheese until combined and fluffy. Add food coloring to achieve a rosy watermelon color. Frost cooled cake. Place chocolate chips sporadically around the cake to simulate seeds. Refrigerate to set frosting. Remove from refrigerator at least 30 minutes before serving.
Yield: about 12 servings
It is good; I got this recipe from "Home Cooking by Peggy Trowbridge" on www.about.com
Hope this helps

I saw an article on inorganic arsenic in fruits in the Consumer Report Magazine?
Q. Was Ocean spray Cranberry juice mentioned as having too much Arsenic in it? Is it possible without signing up with Consumer Report to get a copy of that article?
A. Two options. If you can find the article on line, then copy it to your computer. If not, go to the library, find the article in the magazine and make a photocopy. I have no idea about Ocean Spray although you might find a response to the accusation at their web site.
Arsenic is an atom and a toxic metal. Since it is not a compound and does not contain carbon, of course it is non-organic. This knowledge is one of those hidden gems that was shared in Chemistry class and which everybody decided to forget so they could invent a new meaning for organic.

What does washing your hair with black tea do?
Q. I read in a magazine that washing brown hair with black tea get rid of unwanted colors and produces shine. But the article was very vague, has anyone tried this?
A. I have dark brown hair and I just did a black tea rinse for the first time this morning. I mixed it with lemon juice though because I didn't want my hair to get too black, I want it to remain brown. But, I have read that it can darken your hair. I know that my hair is much softer and has a lot more bounce than normal.
