Proverbs Plus Each day provides its own gifts. -- American Proverb And Then There's...   The future is purchased by the present. -- Samuel Johnson  Reader's Digest CyberSmiles Flying through the Midwest in the summertime means one thing: turbulence. I was working as a flight attendant on one particular flight when we hit a patch of very rough air just after a young teenager, obviously on her first flight, had entered the bathroom. After the bumps had subsided, she exited the bathroom, a look of sheer terror etched on her face. "Are you all right?" I asked as I helped her to her seat. "That turbulence was as bad as it gets." "So that's what it was," she said. "I thought I'd pushed the wrong button."  --Contributed to "All In a Day's Work" by Lavonne McDonald Smiles, grins & humor from the files of Reader's Digest! The Recipe File Desserts: Angel Food Cake from Atlanta Cooknotes INGREDIENTS: 1-1/4 cups sifted cake flour 1/2 cup sifted sugar 1-1/2 cups egg whites, at room temperature* 1/4 teaspoon salt 1-1/4 teaspoons cream of tartar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 teaspoon almond extract 1-1/3 cups sifted sugar TO PREPARE:   Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Sift flour and one-half cup sugar together four times.  Set aside.  Combine egg whites, salt, cream of tartar, and flavorings in a large bowl.  Beat with an electric mixer until moist, soft peaks form.  Add remaining sugar in four additions, beating until blended each time.  By hand, carefully fold flour-sugar mixture into egg whites in four additions until all is incorporated.  Pour batter into an ungreased ten-inch tube pan.  Bake for 35 to 40 minutes.  Remove from oven and invert cake so that pan rests on protruding center tube or side extensions.  If pan has neither a protruding center tube nor extensions, place the tube over a funnel or the neck of a bottle.  Edges of the pan may also be rested on adjacent objects allowing air to circulate underneath.  Cool about one-and-one-half hours.  Loosen sides of the cake with a thin-bladed knife, and remove from pan. *Approximately 12 large eggs yield one-and-one-half cups egg whites. .
