I never get tired of this photo.

Ella Fitzgerald was not allowed to play at Mocambo because of her race. Then, one of Ella’s biggest fans made a telephone call that quite possibly changed the path of her career for good. Here, Ella tells the story of how Marilyn Monroe changed her life:

“I owe Marilyn Monroe a real debt… she personally called the owner of the Mocambo, and told him she wanted me booked immediately, and if he would do it, she would take a front table every night. She told him – and it was true, due to Marilyn’s superstar status – that the press would go wild. The owner said yes, and Marilyn was there, front table, every night. The press went overboard. After that, I never had to play a small jazz club again. She was an unusual woman – a little ahead of her times. And she didn’t know it.”

Using their fame the right way :)

Flourless Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies (made with what you probably already have in your kitchen)

Tonight I was faced with the worst dilemma: I wanted chocolate chip cookies, but I’d already taken off my pants. Living alone is great because you never have to wear pants, but if you want something from the store, you have to put your own pants back on instead of just whining until someone else goes to the store/bakery for you. So I foraged through the kitchen and managed to come up with a healthy, awesome recipe created from pure desperation.

Preheat the oven to 350 F (don’t forget this and then make yourself wait longer when you’re ready to bake them)

• 3/4 cup oats (microwavable single packet oatmeal probs don’t count, but try it if you’re desperate enough)
• 1/4 t baking soda
• 2 T brown sugar
• 1 heaping T white sugar or whatever your substitute is (some substitutes bake sucky, so just use real fucking sugar this one time. your waist line won’t care, promise)
• 1/4 t vanilla
• 2 T milk or your milk alternative
• 1 T oil, melted butter, margarine, seriously whatever fat component you have hanging around, just to bind the cookies
• handful (two if you have freakishly small hands like me and feel like handfuls always cheat you) of chocolate chips or broken chocolate that you totally have left over from Easter

Throw all that shit in a blender or food processor or smash with your own hands if need be (if you use the hand smashing method, these will be more flakes of oatmeal-y, but whatever, oatmeal is awesome). I know, it doesn’t seem like there’s a lot of dough, you’re making this for yourself because you live alone and don’t wear pants. Stick the bowl in the fridge for 15 minutes. *Protip: it gets colder quicker if you stop opening the door to steal bites. Take it out in less than 15 minutes, because who are we kidding? Form into small, vaguely cookie-shaped balls. Put on greased aluminum foil on cookie sheet so you don’t have to wash the cookie sheet. Cook for 8-10 minutes. This shit cooks fast. If they look wet at 8 minutes, check back in like 8 minutes and 30 seconds because seriously.

Makes approx half a dozen cookies if you didn’t eat a bunch of dough. Devour it all yourself anyway. Don’t ever bother to put those pants back on.
