A.V.’s The Night Before Christmas party
“Well, it’s done ! I seemed to be permanently scouring my”notes” to check “what next”, but everyone was very tolerant! And I have never heard such a wide variety of accents – often from the same mouth!
Food, I’d researched for that period and it seemed to herald the arrival and much use of Campbells condensed soups so recipes frequently contained them in casseroles – so we had Chicken a la 1948, cottage pie and macaroni cheese for the veggies; desserts included American Brownies, made from scratch, but which never set so needed to be spooned out into cups, rather than cut into 32 triangles as the recipe required!
I slept for 9 hours straight last night – never happens! – and now I don’t have to think about anyone’s night before Christmas, except my own!
Thank you so VERY much for your amazing support and quick responses to my emails.”
