                 -----------------    character on 'Star Trek' was Spock,
                                      until he learned of the Vulcan seven-
                                      year-sex cycle. Ajaye:
                                      "Ohhhh, Spock. That's a tough price to
                                       pay for being cool."

                   Update Specials:   GEnie's Peek At The Soaps
                   ---------------    Health Corner - Brooke's Mushroom
                                                          Request



Storyline [D]:
-------------

   Brian wakes up on Dixie's couch after a night of deep converastion, 
video scanning and popcorn snarfing, to find the Dix-ster sitting cat-like 
in a chair about 5 feet away, staring at him with 'mating season' eyes. ;) 

   Dix fixes him and Jr. breakfast, and invites Bri to spend the day with 
them, but Jethro has to bite on the offer and jet back to Myrtle's to 
prepare for summer school --- where he runs smack into Hayley, who has 
spent the night waiting for him on _Myrt's_ couch. :) Brian declines to 
confirm whether he was slepping with someone, and defines their major 
(couple) problem as Hayley's failure to truly believe in him. The Tink 
blows Dodge in disgust. [Bri didn't really try to make peace. He wants 
Dixie. :) You picked the right one, brother, uh-huh.] 



Storyline [B]:
-------------

   All the guests arrive chez Brooke for her special brunch, but Edmund, 
asked to pick up some mushrooms on his way over, remains MIA (Brooke: "I 
guess he went to Osaka to get the shiitake mushrooms..."). Palmer regales 
the assemblage with prenatal care tidbits ("monitoring the calcium levels 
is essential..."). Opal: "This from a man who used to mute the sound on the 
feminine products commercials whenever they came on tv!"  :) 

   Somebody's got a "lot of 'splainin' to do" when they finally arrive. :)

[Note: Dixie looks quite hot in navy.]




Storyline [C]:
-------------

   Air Witch brainslaps Igor with the news that she knows he's been 
bopping E, and plans to marry her. Dimitri plays "X-blocks-the-square", 
telling Helga how much he loves Angel, that he'll never leave her, etc.; 
just the stuff the old goat wants to hear. Helga transports chez Edmund 
(Open Door Syndrome), and retrieves the HugoDocument, erroneously assuming 
Ed hadn't read it yet. She takes it back to Weirdwind, and burns it, 
declaring loudly: "Now NO one will know Edmund Gresham is Hugo Marick's 
son!" Not. 

   Chez PV Hospital, Joe gives Dimitri and Angelique the red light on the 
pregnancy thing (too much strain; not worth the risk). Dimitri shows great 
restraint by not indulging in an "Oh, What A Feeling!" leap of joy, while 
Angel vows to become an "Olympian" if she has to, in order to bear 
children. :) 



Storyline [A]:
-------------

   Edmund peruses his childhood artifacts and pictures left by Helga the 
night before (man, PV management will let ANYONE in your place for the 
right price...sheesh...), and locks onto Hugo's codecil. He freaks, 
transports to his old house on the Wildwind grounds (now Dimitri's 
'hunting lodge-cum-love shack'), and experiences detailed flashbacks of 
one of the beatings his mom suffered at the hands of his (step) father, 
and of Hugo brainslapping her over some petty horse maintenance issue 
PastEd had neglected to take care of.

   Ed trashes the lodge in a fit of rage, pausing only to kneel, and 
declare at the top of his lungs: "I AM *NOT* HUGO MARICK'S SON!!!". The 
Mack Daddy needs some serious carbs at this point. 

   Cliffhanger? They ain't got no (true) cliffhanger this week. They 
apparently felt they didn't have to show us any steenkeen cliffhangers!
They just cut to Air Witch burning that damn codecil, and got the hell out 
of Dodge. :) 






Update Health Corner:            Powerful 'Shrooms
--------------------

   Interesting that in today's episode, the Brooke-ster specifically 
requested that The Mack Daddy bring shiitake mushrooms to the engagement 
announcement brunch. Ok, it was probably for the meaty texture and 'smoky' 
taste, but she couldn't have made a better choice.

    Shiitake, enoki and porcini mushrooms (which should not be eaten raw) 
contain powerful immune system stimulators and antibiotics. Among them is 
lentinan, which boosts the action of white blood cells, and complex 
polysacharides which generally strengthen the immune system. 

   Other powerful active ingredients in common foods: aromatic 
isothiocyanates in cruciferae (bok choy, broccoli, Brussels sprouts,  
cabbage, cauliflower, collard greens, horseradish, kale, kohlrabi,  
mustard, mustard greens, radishes, rutabaga, turnip, turnip greens and 
watercress.) that have strong anticarcinogenic activity.

   Minerals such as selenium and germanium, amino acids such as 
glutathione, methionine and cysteine, amino alkyl sulfoxides, allin, 
disulfide oxides, allicin, deoxidized sulfide, disulfide and sulfhydryl 
bearing compounds such as diallyldisulfide, S-allyl cysteine, the oxide of 
trithia-dodecatriene, and ajoene in GARLIC and ONIONS, posess natural 
antioxidant and strong anticancer and antitumor activity.

   Can Brooke make a salad, or what? ;)
