I mail ordered it from a place in Somerset, UK a couple of years ago Grace. I’ll try to track it back down for you in case someone comes for a visit with a valise!

Much more tidy than mine at the moment. Thanks for the tour.

Btw ….where did you get that shelf by your printer? I stock a few different weights of A4 paper for my journals and that shelf would be perfect to separate them.

Nice food memories John!! My Sunday night TV fare was The Wonderful World of Disney and Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom. I’m working my way up to Proust via comfort food!

Mlindy! Creamed Chipped Beef on Toast!! My mother’s default on a Sunday evening over the Disney Hour and the Fred Sullivan Show, along with a lot of Campbell’s soup, and vanilla or butterscotch ‘pudding’ for desert, and then maybe popcorn. What was the other ‘creamed … on toast’ thing we would have?

I’m reminded of Bill Bryson’s comment about the default family foods of post-1950s America: “we thought hamburgers and milkshakes were good for us.”

When my dad was cooking, he’d make a big pot of chili con carne, or a beef stew, or hamburgers, for Sunday evening dinners, on top of a roast beef and multiple cooked veg for Sunday lunch, after bacon and eggs, and if it was winter, pancakes, for breakfast. He maintained that when he married my mom, she couldn’t cook an egg. Mom did a lot of Campbell’s soup and tuna sandwiches, if not creamed chipped beef. And cookies.

Ahh, Nostalgia! If it doesn’t de-rail us.
