the mother is having a big clear out. i think i mentioned this before. this book was one of my favourite cookbooks as a kid.
i made these peppermint creams as a child. sugary, pastel, sweetness. the thought of them now makes me feel ill. yet at the time, i craved sugar.
i cant say i ever tried a fried fruit sandwich!!!
coconut ice, more sugar, mmmm.
i love the pictures in the book. unfortunately the book was tore, so couldnt be charity shopped. it went in the recycling bin. i took some snaps so i could remember, remember the sugar highs!

I had a book like that once - and you just brought me back to that. In mine though, there were a lot of breads, very delicious!
Just stopping in and thinking of you.
I feel sad that you had to get rid of the book...I am a hopeless hoarder and find it very difficult to throw away anything sentimental! But at least you got some photos :)
hi amanda
thanks for popping by, lovely little pictures in the book, shame the book was broken.
the pictures stood out when i was little, i cant imagine eating fried fruit sandwich though! sounds a little yuck to me. hope your ok. x
hi melinda
i was so like that, keeping everything, buying pretty little things too. yet years later when i found a new trend, and passed the old items on to charity i began to think 'what am i doing?'. i try to pre-cycle now, still practising though! gorgeous little jumper you knitted for your nephew to be. x
