"The Frozen Hot Chocolate Cookbook"
(By: Pat Miller and the Princes of Serendip)It was 1954. The world was suffering from unrequited love, a big post-war baby boom and an insatiable craving for sweet solace.
In the heart of Little Italy, sharing a cold water flat with creepies, crawlies and things that go bump in the night lived Serendipity 3. Princes under thier frog suits, they waited, lips pursed, for the kiss that would reveal their true selves. But it took a magic word to open the palace door.
Days, they hounded producers' offices. Nights they built skyscrapers of ice cream at Hoard Johnson's. One of them became a lead dancer in "Catch a Star", and Jose' Limon said he might have reached Nijinskian heights, had destiny not called him to the kitchen.
He was Calvin Holt of the sassy ass and incorrigible ways. Fresh from the cornfields of Arkansas. Full of beans and Aunt Buba's sand tarts. Uninhibited by grey flannel rules. Lit up with a crazy electricity that outshone Broadway.
Fast at his heels came Stephen Bruce. Two black, slanty, Slavic eyes in league with the devil. Sly and shy. Suacy and sweet talking. A wittily mustashed enigma, he could be a son of a bitch or Pola Negri's love child. Mixing fantasy and innuendo, he dressed windows at Macy's and dreamed of draping the stars.
