I thought that I'd already made it clear that we were so poor growing up, we had to beg shelter from the church mice. I never knew what a room of my own was until I outgrew the size 14 shoe box that I shared with my eleven younger brothers. that was when I got to move into my very own Buster Brown size 9 boys shoe box. Since sleeping in a shoebox was the closest I came to owning shoes until I got my first job at age 9, I thought everyone here knew that I had had to walk to school barefoot.Scalywag said:You forgot the part about having to do it barefoot.
My mistake.

That's very true. Did I ever tell the story about the Christmas when my bother and I received a pair of socks - that we had to share? It was the warmest winter my left foot ever experienced.M's girl said:You guys get soooo sentimental around Christmas time...

One can't help but wonder what happened to all the shoes that came in all those shoe boxes.
Curious minds want to know these things...

Perhaps you're right...but what I noticed is that you once again managed to quote me in a typo. Oh, the horror, the horror!GiveawayGirl said:One can't help but wonder what happened to all the shoes that came in all those shoe boxes.

Yank, it's me you're talking to. Did you really think I was all that interested in where the shoes went?

Let's get back on track here.
Local
Today I had the pleasure of doing business with a rare creature: a new local business. In our fair little town we now have a real butcher shop and the proof of their expertise will be in my pudding. As in they actually produce their own suet (if you ask for it, other wise it's discarded) and this weekend I will be making a traditional English plum pudding, which calls for suet in the recipe. For years I've made substitutions because none of the other purveyors of beastly flesh could give me suet so this is a wonderful change of fortune.

I'm a traditionalist at heart, BG, and this is an ancient and honored recipe that require not only suet but a traditional steamed pudding pan. Just can't be done any other way.bobsgirl said:Suet, Yank? I'd substitute tofu, if I were you.
But I do have a neat recipe for Christmas thumbprint tofookies if you're interested.

My word of the day is: amused
That's two in the same week, Yank. This must be some kind of record for you.
BG - Your tofu post is the funniest thing I've read in a very long time.

I just got a fabulous new haircut, and all I really want to do is go buy a new lipstick, put on my city boots and go strolling around downtown swinging my hips and hair in time with whatever's playing on my iPod. Maybe flirt with a few strangers, stop in for a quick snack at a sushi bar ...

Today, I know exactly how you feel.
