Antiques, dreams and how to Cover a Casserole
Last night it was about the terminators again. James Cameron again. Ah, all of my dreams now are really based on the same theme. Everyone thinks that James Cameron is such a great film director. He is ok, but not really all that great. I think that he started off as a low budget horror film director and then progressively got better into making higher budget things like the Abyss and Terminator. Terminator was still low budget though. The first one was it had that horror film feel to it, until you saw the science fiction parts of it with the future and the machines taking over and you saw just a lot of futuristic artificial intelligence, which brought into mind some higher minded thinking. But I think that he stole a lot of that.
The dream showed me a lot of these machines and it was telling me that all of this had a prior existence to James Cameron stealing them or taking them to make his movies which made him really wealthy and famous. So like our economy his fame was kind of a hyper-inflated type of thing. Hyper-inflated famous, he is a good director but our culture took that goodness and just inflated it. Our economy which has fooled so many people for so long is kind of like a James cameron. Some truth to it, but now a lot of that truth is being called into question. I saw lots of things in that dream, the terminators this was all really scary. I don’t know how to describe this, it seemed like it was the future or maybe it was now in another parallel timeline. Perhaps this isn’t going to happen, but also maybe that is the wrong question to ask. I think that it is currently happening, just we can’t see it. It’s happening though. Everytime you are walking about, walking your dog and you hear a diesel truck car honk at a distance that seems to happen just at that moment you are having a deep and profound thought. That is not coincidence, they know it is happening. When you see those people, again diesel truck drivers giving you that simultaneous look and a smile and that sarcastic powerful grin while they are wearing dark black sunglasses at a stop-light or turning at an intersection, that is them knowing! I believe those guys have more advanced knowledge of the machine thing that is happening.
Like Mussolini supposedly did to the mafia. The machines have glowing red eyes and they are intelligent and they are capable of deeper thinking and of philosophy and reason. They will keep some of us around to learn from us and become even more intelligent. The ones like me who are always just thinking deep about things that really are a waste of time. I saw these red-eyed machines watching me and "letting" me roam around and talk to people, as kind of a kin of Paul Revere although without the courage and the balls. I would just go around in this new Fairyland of existence that was run by artificial intelligence robots and totally made a slavish existence for people who were left. I remember just looking around and trying to find things.
I was digging around in a tile floor looking for ancient objects that would help us fight this Orwellian, Venetian, British-Roman horror. I found a shield, which was actually bullet proof glass from a long ancient time period, which I thought in the dream was actually today this time period. Where police officers or crowd control police that you see on the news have these large bullet broof or object projectile proof see-through glass shields. I found one of these but it was missing the handle. And these guys I was with in this parallel time, did not know what it was that I had found. I was like, I know exactly what this is! I was from that time period, that is the time that I lived in. It was so weird, but it was almost like I had found something from an ancient Atlantis and that this bullet proof glass shield could be used to fight the terminators. So, yeah. I am not sure how to explain a dream like that to a doctor.
Can I substitute a glass casserole dish covered with aluminum foil for a cake pan?
My regular cake pan is missing, and I need to make a cake asap.
Can I put aluminum foil in my square, glass casserole dish and use that to bake the cake instead?
If so, do I need to make any adjustments to the temperature/cooking time?Additional Details
Well, it’s a casserole dish…so obviously it’s Pyrex because it’s made to go into the oven.
My idea was that the aluminum foil would make the dish more like a regular metal cake pan. Is my reasoning faulty? Has anyone tried it?

You just need to reduce the heat by 25 degrees. Even with that, it may bake in a shorter time. Otherwise, it’s just fine to use as is.
I think the glass would still conduct heat in the same way but it was a very clever idea. You are thinking! =)

Don’t cover the pan in aluminum. Just grease and flour the pan. There is no need to change the baking temperature, but it may need a cook time adjustment. Start checking 5 minutes before you would usually take it out.
Do not use foil. Grease & flour casserole. You can cut a piece of wax paper to fit & put it in the casserole for ease of removal.
itsme!
Always reduce heat 25 degrees for glass (Pyrex) utensil.
Me!

glass is a bad conductor. unless you use bake ware like pyrex, glass may crack at that heat.
