I found this in my computerized recipe file - which is even more
insidious than a paper recipe file.  My friend gave this to me years
ago but I haven't tried it.  Has anyone?

Why might this be on topic?  Because it's from Pat Wrede's "The Book
of Enchantments" (which I really should read one of these days).
Perhaps Pat tried it out on Lois during the writing process?

*** As a matter of fact, she did.  We decided it was one of the more 
unique critique sessions we'd shared during our long and speckled careers...

    You should indeed read _The Book of Enchantments_.  It has a nice 
range of stuff in it.  In addition to the gigglesome tale of the Frying 
Pan of Doom, she has a short story based on the old folk song about the 
two sisters that is downright seriously creepy, and which I think is one 
of her best short works ever.
