ABRAHAM LINCOLN HAMBURGER TAX

In an attempt to answer that age old question of how to kill three birds (themes) with one stone (song), Skip Sawburn created “Abraham Lincoln Made a Hamburger Tax”. Is the jury still out?…you be the judge.

Too soon?

Mary Todd Lincoln would make this White Cake for Abe. He said it was his most favorite cake. She made it in the White House, she made it to woo him. The cake is kind of a dairy and egg bomb so I veganized it.

The recipe is linked above.

I used 3/4 cup vanilla soy yogurt to mix with the sugar instead of the butter.

1 cup soy milk

1/3 cup canola oil just mixed in there to keep it moist.

kind of just ditched the egg whites.

Let’s face it – Lincoln would totally be a vegan today and this is how he would eat it.

The new theme is this: Abraham Lincoln. He turned 200 this month. Here’s your chance to show him and everyone that you care. Or that you don’t, whatever. These are some important things about Abe to consider:
1. Everyone loves him
2. He had a really high pitched voice
3. He was really tall
4. Thinking about his assassination makes me cry
5. He made a cameo in a Star Trek TOS episode where he helped Spock & Kirk fight evil.

So, do what you want. There’s so much to work with here – The Gettysburg Address, having a cool beard, top hats, slavery , the Civil War, compassion, some people say that he was gay and then other people say that he wasn’t.You know all about him, you love him.

Costumes, drawings, songs, traditional American food in the first half of the 19th century, reimagining the Lincoln postal stamps that just came out and really aren’t that cool? Work That.
