@uncle snipe What a coincidence. My Gracie’s (rip) full name was Gracie Havana O’Malley. At the Humane Society they gave her the name Havana, which I wasn’t crazy about but kept it as her middle name. Grace (ie) came from a photo of cats printed in the paper that day, and I wanted an Irish sounding last name. I was not aware of the pirate, but love the coincidence.
In going through my mom’s recipes after she died in 2008, I found one for fruit cake that she apparently made in 1947 or ‘48. I’m assuming it was not to my parents’ liking because I came along a few years later and fruit cake never darkened our door stop.
@emiesty2: Imagine, if you will, the hilarity that ensued during a meeting with several Americans, a Brit, an Aussie, and a Canadian, when the Canadian chair said we would table the discussion. Half the committee immediately began to go to the next agenda item, while the other half wondered why we had gone off topic.
I’ve never heard of fairy bread, but my mom sometimes did give us a piece of bread slathered with butter and granulated sugar sprinkled on top. It was a lovely after school snack.
To be an Official Hallmark Movie there needs to be: ice skating, cocoa drinking, cookie making with flour everywhere, and a tree lighting ceremony. Go for it, Georgia!
That’s amazing!
