Based on detailed scientific evidence from some of the world's top paleontologists. On a post-it note!
For the end of the work week, I decided that bringing my camera to my shift would be a nice change, to have my 365 photo done before 6 pm and for something fun to do on a slow close.
The coffee shop I work at is fully stocked with doodles and crafts, post it note works of art can be found on most surfaces. I think we have the most creative team of baristas out there.
Elizabeth David (1913-92) was a highly influential British cookery writer who revolutionised home and professional cookery across the world. The Guardian newspaper described her as ‘leading British cooking from the greyness of [wartime] austerity to an exotic world of fresh herbs and garlic’, and today her Mediterranean-inspired recipes and books are still in print.
She took her work very seriously, so much so that she bought old and antique recipe books and scoured them for information. When reading them, she wrote Post It notes to herself as memory joggers.
After her death, a number of her rare book possessions came to auction – and thanks in part to a grant from the Friends of the Nations' Libraries charity, the Senate House Library (part of the University of London) acquired one of them, complete with her Post It notes.
And here it is: on the right is a 1720 edition of Edward Kidder’s Receipts of Pastry and Cookery, and on the left, her notes which were found inside the volume (they have been removed from the book to protect its pages from the adhesive). ‘Torta called pizza by the Neapolitans 441’; ‘Agrestala 533’; ‘Soup of prugnoli & other dried mushrooms 286’; ‘390 broccoli with sugo di melangole’.
The title page of Kidder’s recipes is a delight: ‘For the Use of his Scholars. Who teaches at his School in Queen Street near St Thomas Apostles On Mondays, Tuesdays & Wednesdays, In the Afternoon. ALSO On Thursdays, Fridays & Saturdays, In the Afternoon, at his School next to Furnivals Inn in Holborn. Ladies may be taught at their own Houses’.
They really don’t make ‘em like that any more... but thanks to the Senate House Library and the FNL, it's still possible to see 'em!
Forty years on from its origin as 3M's Press 'n Peel, the Post-it note, so frequently used around computer screens to hold phone numbers and passwords(!), now somewhat superseded by the mobile phone Memo app.
two of my co-workers designed and built this mosaic of the king out of post it notes over the memorial day weekend.
