One of the recipes is marked with the skull and crossbones in the unmistakable hand our daughter Elizabeth when she was eight or nine years old. We wouldn't have used the recipe again anyway because we didn't like it either. Elizabeth, I think, was just making sure. Marge and I have used the same Betty Crocker cookbook for 40 years.

This winter is the first in a long time that I've lived somewhere that gets a lot of snow, although by Canadian standards Toronto doesn't really get a lot. I remember the snow shovels of old and am not impressed with what is passed off as a snow shovel today. It's plastic for crying out loud! And coal shovels! Wow! That goes back a ways! I can appreciate the feeling of using your Dad's tools, especially the good ones. I have my mother's favourite cookbook. There are pages in it that I scribbled on when I was little. I also have a later edition of that cookbook, it has pages in it scribbled on by one of my kids when he was little. I love this story.
