Oh how I love Cecil Parker's voice. I could recognize it at 100 paces and 50 years with my ears covered! Who couldn't. To wit: finally seeing The Weaker Sex. It's heaven on earth for a bpym-loving type. So hopelessly English post-war domestic. There's actually quite an astonishing amount of good diction in this film.

World's best cocoa, a little too chocolate-y for real adults: put a heaping soup spoon of Scharffen Berger cocoa with enough sugar to make the cocoa go the right gritty pale (not quite 2:1) into a nice mug with a pinch of salt. Stir together. Cut open an 8? oz. juice box-sized carton of Rice Dream or soy milk and stir in enough to make a paste. Then slowly stir in the rest, mixing. Microwave for 2-1/2 minutes, just the right time, stirring once mid-way, with a plate under the mug for overflow.
