Slow-mo

Bloggie friends!

A sample of how slow I am with reading a book!

I borrowed an anthology of short stories in July 2009 from a library near where I work.

And I am still reading it.

Let's have a Tuesday tune! La-la-la-la! :-)

Chemistry

Bloggie friends, thank you for your kind reassurances and words for yesterday’s post. I feel most comforted, thank you!

Still reeling from that guess what I did today? I go to the chemist to collect my repeat prescriptions. And this is what happens next.

Chemist man: How do you pay for your prescriptions?
Me: With this.
Chemist man: Your library card?

Yes bloggie friends, I am holding out my brand spanking new library card from Hertfordshire libraries because it feels and looks like my credit card.

Yes it does.

Charlie says: You crazy, me cat.

Have a wispy Wednesday, everyone!

A Way to a man's heart is through his stomach

Bloggie friends, I collect recipes in the same way I collect.. er… viruses! LOL!

None are safe from my beady amateur cook’s eyes whether the recipes are in magazines, food packets/tins, books and oh, the internet.

So imagine my delight at discovering this gem of a recipe from The First Book of Boys’ Cooking by Beim, Jerrold (1957):

LOL!

I am indebted to this site: Awful Library Books for bringing this yummy treat to my attention! And this is just a taster! Excuse the pun. The link will not only bigify the recipe but have more extras from the book!

The site is set up by a couple of lovely librarians from Michigan and the books are actual stock that they may weed out from their collection.

Now do you see why I love libraries and some librarians and their able assistants so much?!?!

Charlie says: Raw Carrots! Yuck!

Have a healthy Monday everyone!

Fantasy travels

Bloggie friends, I know I’ll not travel anywhere for a holiday soon - mainly because of one reason

This:

Awwwww I can't leave him!

But if I ever did travel somewhere, it'll be to these places:

1) New York

But where can I combine visiting NYC with the scribbler and reader in me?

The Library Hotel, New York.

2) I'd love to explore the Netherlands further so how else to combine that with the alcoholic in me (I'm kidding - I like my wine but responsibly!!)?


Rooms here are made out of recycled wine casks!

3) And what about England? I'm talking cheese and chocolate and green and pleasant land!

The Chocolate Room in the Wensleydale Heifer, North Yorkshire.

Aaah one of these days!

Have a dreamy Tuesday everyone!
