Happy International Women’s Day!

March 2024

The suffragette-inspired celebration dates back to 1909, although marking it on this date came about in 1917. IWD is a national holiday in many countries, and has generally picked up more recognition since the UN began celebrating it in 1975. Among the fetes and ‘dos this year is a new exhibition at Christina Parker Gallery.

Note: due to weather, the opening has been postponed a week, until Friday March 15, 6pm.

I have not finished sorting the recipes. There are literally thousands of them. As her memory became less sharp she no longer picked out good recipes with a discerning eye. Instead, she indiscriminately saved every recipe she came across. It was as if by losing herself in that old familiar action, she could somehow be back in the day when she would actually use them.
