    The Ration Book Diet

    This reminds me of the "mousse" my grandmother used to make - dissolve a box of jelly crystals (I guess that's jell-o to most of you) in boiling water, whisk a can of chilled evaporated milk until thick and frothy, whisk in the dissolved jelly and pour into a mould to set. It works best with...

    Catherine Middleton - Duchess of Cambridge - 40's inspired hat

    There was a tightening up of the dress code for the Royal Enclosure at Ascot a couple of years ago. They probably won't turn away a Windsor, but I wouldn't put it past them to turn away some of the other guests. When you see those pictures (esp from Aintree) they are from the general admission...

    Forbidden items in my home...

    I think you are right - the nice young men with black pants, white shirts and bicycles are Latter Day Saints. JWs sometimes even send women and children around.

    Forbidden items in my home...

    I'm quite sure that was the case - and if it works, it works! A friend of mine is an ex-JW and she says nothing works better than saying "But don't you know, I was disfellowshipped?" - they disappear as if pursued by bats out of hell.

    Bad Table Manners

    Is he someone who married into your clan? I feel very sorry for his wife!

    Catherine Middleton - Duchess of Cambridge - 40's inspired hat

    I think her skirt should be longer too. I'm actually surprised how short it is. At the Royal Enclosure at Ascot dresses have to be to the knee, so I am surprised Epsom's rules are different.

    Threads That Go Astray

    I really don't think it is overreacting. When I found the Lounge I thought "Huzzah! People who are like me!" and then saw actually, it isn't people like me, it's people who hate everything I like, comment rudely on things I am enthusiastic about and set the bar so high that I will never be...

    Forbidden items in my home...

    My mum did that once (she wasn't actually naked, but she was wearing a robe that did more to enhance than conceal). And that did scare them off.

    Lovely Ladies of the Fedora Lounge

    Take some advice from your aunty Puzzicato - give yourself time. My husband and I have very different hobbies and interests, but we have intelligent (sometimes - very silly more often) conversations about our stuff because we each like each other enough to be interested in the conversation. He...

    That's good to hear!

    What my grandmother told me about life in the 1940s.

    Thanks Amy Jeanne! I love your chats with your grandmother.

    Bio oil

    I haven't, but my tattooist was telling me how good it was - her daughter had very bad scars on her legs and it helped fade them a lot. I gather it is quite a long-term thing though.

    Catherine Middleton - Duchess of Cambridge - 40's inspired hat

    I think this is very true - a lot of women wear hats to the big racing events, and to weddings but not in everyday life. I don't really see Catherine as leading a hat revival.

    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    Those are lovely! Oh thank you! Mind you, my bank balance would have preferred you saying "Oh no, with wide feet you can NEVER have those wedges" My shoe stretching spray is one of my favourite things.

    What's your favorite Pie ?

    Oh yes! Actually, I have seldom met a pie I didn't like. The act of putting something in a pastry crust renders it delicious. But I absolutely adore cherry pie.

    Bad Table Manners

    Funny - salad and curry were the EXACT two dishes that I thought of where I scoop with my fork! And generally speaking I have very good table manners, although I am very prone to spilling stuff on the tablecloth. That's a culturally specific one, isn't it? Is it the Chinese who slurp tea to...

    Forbidden items in my home...

    Alcohol, coffee and chocolate are very welcome in my house. In fact, they are pretty much the price of admission.

    Threads That Go Astray

    And the thing is, if a thread crapper goes into (for example - may not be a real thread) the "I love 1950s suits" thread and says "I hate 1950s suits, I love 1930s suits" - well, there is probably an "I love 1930s suits" thread where that sentiment would be welcome and actually contribute to the...

    Food and Wine Pairings - Making Magic Happen

    Mmmm - I haven't made pappardelle for a while. Time to get out the pasta maker!

    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    What sort of shape are your feet? I have very wide feet.
