• Today in History - 1951

    29 March 1951 - NEW YORK CITY'S 'MAD BOMBER' STRIKES AGAIN: Grand
    Central Station commuters witness the explosion of a homemade bomb.
    Authorities will later tie this terrorism to the so-called Mad Bomber
    after five more explosives are detonated throughout the city in the
    coming months.

    George Peter Metesky, better known as the Mad Bomber, was an American electrician and mechanic who terrorized New York City for 16 years in
    the 1940s and 1950s with explosives that he planted in theaters,
    terminals, libraries and offices. Bombs were left in phone booths,
    storage lockers and restrooms in public buildings, including Grand
    Central Terminal, Pennsylvania Station, Radio City Music Hall, the New
    York Public Library, the Port Authority Bus Terminal and the RCA
    Building, and in the New York City Subway. Metesky also bombed movie
    theaters, where he cut into seat upholstery and slipped his explosive
    devices inside.

    26 July 1951 - ALICE IN WONDERLAND PREMIERES: A daydreaming Alice gives
    chase to a white rabbit sporting a dapper waistcoat, following him down
    a rabbit hole and into movie history as Disney premieres its 13th
    animated film, based on Lewis Carroll's books. Initially panned, it will
    come to be regarded as one of the best 'Alice' film adaptations.

    Walt Disney first tried to adapt Alice into a feature-length animated
    feature film in the 1930s, but were scrapped in favor of Snow White and
    the Seven Dwarfs (1937). However, it was eventually revived the idea in
    the 1940s. The film was originally intended to be a live-action/animated
    film, but Disney decided it would be the fully animated feature film.
    During its production, many sequences adapted from Carroll's books were
    later omitted, such as Jabberwocky, White Knight, the Duchess, and Mock
    Turtle.

    When it premiered in London on July 26, 1951, and in New York City on
    July 28, 1951, Alice in Wonderland was considered a disappointment on
    its initial release, therefore was shown on television as one of the
    first episodes of Disneyland. Its 1974 re-release in theaters proved to
    be much more successful, leading to subsequent re-releases,
    merchandising and home video releases. Although the film received
    generally negative critical reviews on its initial release, it has been
    more positively reviewed over the years.

    Title: English Scones (Alice In Wonderland)
    Categories: Breads, Fruits, Dairy
    Yield: 8 servings

    2 c A-P flour
    1/4 c Sugar
    3 ts Baking powder
    1/4 ts Salt
    4 tb Butter; room temperature
    1/2 c Milk
    2 lg Eggs; divided
    1 ts Vanilla extract
    Strawberry jam; garnish
    Whipped cream; garnish

    Set oven @ 400ºF/205ºC.

    In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder,
    and salt; mix well. Using a pastry cutter or two forks,
    cut the butter into the dry ingredients until crumbly.
    In a small bowl, combine milk, 1 egg, and vanilla; whisk
    until combined. Add to flour mixture and stir just until
    blended.

    On a floured surface, knead dough 5 to 6 times until it
    comes together. Lightly pat the dough so that it is
    1/2" thick. There is no need to use a rolling pin with
    this dough. Using a 2" round biscuit cutter (or drinking
    glass), cut into the dough. Place on an ungreased baking
    sheet. Gather any remaining dough, pat it so it is 1/2"
    thick, and cut it into circles until all the dough is
    used up.

    In a small bowl, beat remaining egg and brush on
    biscuits. Bake 13 to 15 minutes or until light golden.

    Serve warm with jam and whipped cream.
