Today's Horrendous Yet Truly Morbid Fact!

The mother of a 7-year-old girl killed in a DWI crash recalled yesterday the unimaginable horror of sitting on the side of the road with her daughter's remains while rescuers cut the rest of her family free. "The only thing that was left of Katie was her head," said a surprisingly poised Jennifer Flynn about her adorable, apple-cheeked girl, who was killed when an allegedly drunken driver slammed into a limo loaded with six people returning from a Bayville wedding. "I took her, just that, and sat on the side of the Meadowbrook [Parkway] watching the horrendousness going on around me," Flynn said outside Winthrop University Hospital in Mineola, L.I. "I sat there for about an hour with her as they cut my entire family out of this crushed tin can," the devastated mother said about the limo, which was turned into twisted metal and shattered glass after the smashup in Freeport.

Flynn was the only one able to get herself out of the limo. Also in the limo was little Katie's sister, Grace, 5, who is still under observation at Nassau University Hospital; the girls' father, Neil, 36, who is in critical but stable condition; Flynn's father, retired Nassau cop Chris Tangney, 58, and her mother, Denise, 55, an aspiring Long Beach city councilwoman. Chris Tangney underwent his third surgery in just three days, this time to repair a fractured hip, while his wife is hooked up to a respirator. The 5-year-old girl is in good condition and should be released in the next few days, hospital officials said. The Long Beach family was on their way home from the jubilant wedding of Flynn's sister, Lisa — where Katie and Grace acted as flower girls — when they were rammed by alleged drunken driver Martin Heidgen, 24. "We were hit head-on by someone going 70 MPH on the wrong side of the road," Flynn said. "It was like an explosion." The limousine's driver, Stanley Rabinowitz, 59, was also killed instantly.

A photograph of the precious young girl smiling coyly for the camera as she played in the sand was snapped just hours before her tragic death. "Katie was stolen from us," the stoic mother said. "Her life was cut terribly short. "She only had beauty, and we are so grateful for that, but it was taken, and it was taken with drunk driving," she said. Heidgen, who was driving in the wrong direction, suffered a broken ankle and was arraigned at his bedside at Nassau University Hospital on Saturday. He faces two counts of manslaughter as well as drunken-driving charges. If convicted, he could spend more than 30 years behind bars. Heidgen's mother, Margot, said her son "feels horrible" about the accident. "It's terrible," she said. "This is a tragedy."

KFC Baked Beans

The Colonel's Baked Beans used to be baked and made fresh daily. Now they're made with a can of Navy Beans made by Hanover and a bag of sauce and precooked frozen bacon. When it is needed, it is just microwaved.

30 ounce can Navy Beans, drained
2 tablespoons water
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
4 teaspoons minced fresh onion
4 pieces bacon, cooked and then crumbled
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt
dash pepper
dash garlic powder

Drain the navy beans and place in a microwave-safe dish. Add the precooked bacon. In a bowl, combine all the other ingredients to make a sauce. Pour the sauce over the beans, and mix well. Allow them to sit overnight in the refrigerator. When you are ready to serve them, microwave them for 5 minutes... then stir and microwave again for 7 minutes, or till heated through.
