Ok. We'll keep this one going.   Btw, I've started a 1929 gallery for images too. Here's the first one, but I have many more for '29 than I did for '76, so be prepared

Is it okay to say I'm already missing Christmas ... at F-B?

 

:yes: but the good thing is we can go back and enjoy the stories again. And have you noticed how AC's stories are almost better the second time around? So many details and hidden hints to discover.

Hello, my lovelies. Thought you might find it interesting that as I'v been working on Mojo, some ideas for other Christmas years at Famous-Barr have been percolating.... I jotted them down. 

 

Oh my, and I just remembered I'm supposed to be working on the recipes and story notes for the ones already posted. I need a clone of me :)

Some of you are wondering who this Julia Child person may be, so without further ado, here she is circa 1976. 

In the video, you can see how genuine a person she was - the opposite of 'slick' - she accepts her missteps and moves on (just like the rest of us) 

 

Bon Appétit!
