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!
It seems that 45 days into 366 water drops were on the menu for photo of the day. Its always great setting up these shots and picking colors to use for the background along with actually trying to focus and attempt to have a little bag with a pin hole in it dropping water drops into a pan below. All on its own the setup is worth a photo of the day. I had a bunch of pieces of construction paper and that's what i used for the background and as well the yellow is actually little pieces of Post it notes cut up and stuck in random on the other sheets. Thats the best part of doing these water shots to me is trying to get a funky fun pattern in there and i tried a ton of placements and moving the colored sheets around and just testing and i thought this color came out great and in the middle right hand side of the image it looks like a flower to me like a Calla Lily --with the bright green stem and the flower part is the purple top... Thats just me and what i get from the image when i see it after my eye moves from that water drop.
It was a fun shoot as water drop shots always are and this photo is stamped for day 45 in 2012 Project 366

Sb-800 @ 1/20th power synched via S-29 cord(bare) (zoomed 105 at background) which is colored paper and post it notes.
The water drop is from a bag filled with water hanging above a pan filled with water and a little hole poked in the bag to let the water drip one drop at a time, and the background is mixed and cut pieces of colored paper and a few post it notes as well

Back in the Saddle.
Ohhh man. A bit of a to do list.
This was a whimsical commentary; if I actually wrote down everything I had to do, I think I could be singled out for global environmental damage.

...you shouldn't have left your hat on the bed. Silly Superstition Sunday for Drawlloween No. 23! On a post-it note! #drawlloween2016
Jackie makes us laugh! Her dad does not have a Facebook page and he isn't in the least bit interested in getting one. She saw a funny youtube video "Can I be your friend?" that made her think of her dad … so she grabbed a stack of post-it notes and asked him what he 'liked!'
It turns out he liked a lot of things:
• Father's Day gift of a wheelbarrow
• Tomato garden completely weeded (by us)
• Filet mignon on the charcoal grill
• He liked that Jackie liked him!
• His wife! LOL!
• Painkillers with a tropical umbrella
The only thing he 'Unliked' was the ants ... but we took care of that!
Just wanted to share something silly & fun!! It was a great Father's Day for the old man!
