every food in: Nancy Drew #23, Mystery of the Tolling Bell
Embarking on the Nancy Drew series, trying to find the origin of “fish pie with salmon meringue,” and being vividly relieved I am allergic to salmon and cannot recipe test that.
what I made this week: 4/26-5/1
Sketching some produce, and trying out a recipe for spicy salad dressing from 1914.
every food in: Pippi Longstocking (book 1)
Swedish food, discussing becoming aware of my own cultural biases around food, and 3 hours of research into finding out what a “pineapple pudding” is.
every food in: The Railway Children
Reading a book that was labeled anti-Czarist propaganda in 1905. (Yes, seriously.)
every food in: The Magic City by Edith Nesbit
Every food mentioned in The Magic City, and an overview of what a captain’s biscuit actually is. Philip likes coconut… a lot.

Blogging in the time of quarantine, or - why food blogging, on an artist’s page? (Spoiler: because I work equally with both.)
