A 'C'? A 'C'?

(posted by Mia)


"A 'C'? A'C'? I go a 'C' on my coathanger sculpture? How could anyone get a 'C' in coathanger sculpture? May I ask a question? Was I judged on the sculpture itself? If so, is it not true that time alone can judge a piece of art? Or was I judged on my talent? If so, then is it not unfair that I be judged on a part of my life over which I have no control? If I was judged on my talent, than I was judged unfairly; for I tried as hard as I could! Was I judged on how much I had learn from this project? If so, then were not you, my teacher, also being judged on how well you transmit your knowledge to me? Are you willing to share my 'C'? Perhaps I was judged on the quality of coathanger itself out of which my sculpture was made.....now is this not also unfair? Am I to be judged on the quality of coathangers used by the dry cleaning establishment that returns our garments? Is that not the responsibility of my parents? Should they not share my 'C'?"

Vintage Cookbooks

Oh, the joys of thrifting. Vintage cookbooks for 3 dollars? Yay! This is the latest addition.

And of course it's fun to see what people have handwritten inside, like in this one :

"To Jane,  for Bobby's benefit, with love to both - Marg."

When I was flipping through this on the way home, I came across a description for Norwegian Prune Pudding. (Actually, I think it must be a combination of Tapioca Cream and Norwegian Prune Pudding, seeing that there is actually not any tapioca in the Norwegian Pudding...) {Under the category 'Desserts Children Like'}

"Pieces of dark meaty prune, ready for the picking, float enticingly in creamy tapioca."

Somehow I don't think that this would be a well-loved dessert around our house...

Oh, and here's another rather strange recipe. (My Dad said to include this one.)

Braised Possum? No thanks. 

But, there are many recipes that sound delicious. Fudge Cake, Gingerbread Upside-Down Cake, Blackberry Jam Cake, Kuchen, Hot Cross Buns, Potato Soup, etc. etc. etc....

Oh, and there's also Eel in Aspic. (not under the Delicious category!!!!!)

"Picnik"

Picnik is a great way to edit photos if you don't own photoshop. You can do it for free, but for some certain things you have to pay. Obviously I didn't take this picture, but I edited it! (It is a sample picture from our computer.)

irving!

Once upon a time there was a little monster named Irving. He had extraordinarily large feet, which meant he was always tripping over them. But he's really very nice and super friendly!!

Irving, Marguerite, and Molly

P. S. He loves to read, as you can see!
