1/2 cup unbleached white flour 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa 1 tsp baking powder 1/4 tsp salt 4 eggs, whites and yolks separated 1 tsp vanilla 3/4 cup unbleached evaporated cane juice sugar, divided
Cream Cheese Filling 16 oz organic cream cheese, very soft 1/2 cup sifted powdered sugar, more or less to taste 1/4 tsp mint extract (optional) OR 1 tsp vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Line a jelly roll pan (15x10x1-inch) with natural wax paper and spray it with canola oil cooking spray. Be sure to spray up the sides of the pan as well. Set aside.
Sift together the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. In another medium bowl, beat yolks and vanilla at high speed with an electric mixer for 3 minutes or until thickened and light in color. Gradually beat in 6 tablespoons of the cane sugar.
In a large mixing bowl, beat egg whites to form soft peaks. Gradually add the remaining 6 tablespoons of the cane sugar to form stiff peaks. Gently fold yolk mixture into the egg whites. Add the flour mixture and gently fold in. Spread the batter onto the prepared pan.
Bake for 15 minutes or until done when tested with a toothpick. Let the cake sit in the pan for 5 minutes then using a knife, loosen the sides of the cake from the pan and transfer the cake onto a clean surface. A counter will do. Starting from the long end, gently roll the cake up, leaving the wax paper intact. You will have a 15" long roll at this point. Let it sit for 5 minutes rolled up.
Blend all cream cheese filling ingredients together. Unroll the cake and spread with the cream cheese filling. Spread filling to ends of cake.
Carefully re-roll the cake into a Yule Log, this time peeling off the wax paper. Cut the cake in half. Sprinkle with powdered sugar for garnish.
To serve, slice the cake and put servings on plates.

I went through the same thing 2 years ago this past June. I finally had it in our back yard and it was so gorgeous and everyone had such a wonderful time. If you cannot do this, maybe look into asking a friend or relative to donate their yard. ... View related article.
wash them in a washing machine, or leave them in the sun. use deodorant powder when you wear them in future. posted by andrew cooke at 2:37 PM on June 26
Take an old toothbrush and scrub them with lots of baking soda. Wash off, leave outside to dry. posted by Happydaz at 3:17 PM on June 26
I've splooshed tea-tree oil on the foot side of my Teva soles, let it sit a little while, rinse off. But the sun sounds like a plan too. posted by zadcat at 3:22 PM on June 26
Had some of this problem on a long trip in the tropics I just took. I was wearing Tevas alot, which would get muddy or soaked with river-water and then end up smelling funky the next day. The best solution was a good washing with a detergent/camp-soap and lots of water, followed by a long exposure to direct equatorial sun (wonderful what UV will do to smelly bacteria) until fully and completely dried.
I noticed that the worst smell arose when we'd come back from a long day, give the sandals a rinsing, and then let them sit damp overnight. That amount of damp darkness was just the thing to cultivate the sort of funky bacteria that made shoes reek. So a complete sun-baking seemed to be the most important thing for keeping shoes smelling good. posted by Mercaptan at 3:32 PM on June 26
if you use soap make sure you get it completely rinsed out, or your shoes will start to foam the next time they get wet. posted by clarahamster at 3:41 PM on June 26
Tea tree oil is a popular remedy. I've heard of (but not tried) just using a regular deodorant stick on them. And of course, the fine people at Teva have thoughts on the issue. posted by jewishbuddha at 3:52 PM on June 26
I've found the best way to keep mine clean is the top shelfm of my dishwasher. Seriously. I'd suggest running the idea by your signifigant other or roomates first, though. posted by jrhyley at 3:55 PM on June 26
I've always been a sucker for Simple Green and a stiff nylon brush. posted by five fresh fish at 4:12 PM on June 26
The smell is usually caused by bacteria.. putting 'em in a plastic bag and tossing them in the freezer for a couple days works pretty well. posted by Orrorin at 4:14 PM on June 26
Don't know about Tevas, but sometimes plastic and rubber items just get incurably funky. It seems to be some chemical breakdown that gives off eau d' crap. I had a set of plastic-handled nut drivers (settle down over there!) that became too stinky to use. I have also had sandals that would not stop smelling, regardless of what deodorant/detergent/bleach treatment I gave them. Other similar sandals don't have the problem, so it's not my feet doing it.
I'd be interested in hearing a chemist's explanation of what's going on, or better yet, how to recognize future stinky items before I buy them.

Scrub them with laundry detergent and a scrubbing sponge. Let them dry.
Then soak them (strap/foot pad side down) in hot water with as much baking soda dumped in as will dissolve. Rub any extra baking soda paste into the straps and foot pads. Let it soak for a good while, maybe overnight. This eliminated the smell in my Merrells. Unfortunately it'll eventually come back.
I think you can buy sandals with anti-bacterial stuff built into them to prevent smells. posted by schroedinger at 8:12 PM on June 26
I always used Doc Bronner's peppermint soap. Wish they didn't pick up the funk, though. posted by RikiTikiTavi at 9:15 PM on June 26 ... View related article.
I found this on a plumbing web site. I hope it helps!
Q: I have a bad odor coming from either my drain or the faucet itself (in bathroom). Smells like rotten eggs! I think it's coming from the faucet because it starts smelling as soon as I turn the water on. Any suggestions?
A: Karen,
Do you have this problem at all outlets. If you do it is a water problem. Or you will probably find it is coming from the drain. Soap buildup etc in the drain is being activated as the water hits it. Clean the drainpipe and I am sure you will solve the problem. (If you can't fix it hold your nose.) Good luck Mossy ... View related article.
