    I'm not sure why my comment about Findon Haddock was removed.
    👍 Someone liked your comment: "I'm disappointed you missed the Findon Haddock. More commonly known as Finnan Haddie. You can still sometimes find finnan haddies canned by a small coastal company. My mother's recipe for fish cake…"
    This is the second time I've commented and the second time my comment was removed. If you are offended by fish, maybe a cooking show isn't the best fit? (joke)

    That was very nice of Victor's family to do what they did to allow Pepita to receive her inheritance and the possibility of remarriage. They must have loved her as much as her husband did.

    During the 50s our mother used to sometimes make buckwheat cakes rather than pancakes, which never pleased me or my siblings, and which was likely a request of our father's, whose rural mother likely made buckwheat cakes rather than pancakes. Dining at her home Sundays or any day was repulsive. It was common for her to sit down at the table and place the flyswatter that she carried with her, nearly constantly, right next to her dinner plate. Too often I was seated next to her and my gag reflex was always in the red. The dining room was part of the kitchen in her Adams, Indiana, home. The house reeked of damp linoleum and well-water, as there was no indoor plumbing. Yes, one had to resort to use of an outhouse located out back of Gradma's house.

    Our paternal grandparent's home was known as "Mom's," as the paper for the place was in her namealone, due to her wish when she inherited the house to put a stop to her husband's restlessness. Our father also moved our family from one place to another, until our mother said, "Enough" and put an end to his rambling ways. Good old Mom. We thank her from her influence in convincing our father to move to California in 1961 when I was twelve. I asked her at the time, "Are we really going to move to California?" She said, "I think so, but your father has to think it's his idea."

    Buckwheat mornings were never pleasant. We were advocates of French Toast and pancakes. We also greatly disliked mush, another poor substitute for pancakes, and the dreaded substitute for milk, Pet Evaperated canned milk, that one deluted with water. We didn't have a lot of money, obviously.

    Max, if you get the chance, do visit the Titanic Museum in Belfast, Northern Ireland. I went last year, and it's really well done. It goes through the design, ship building, christening, test voyage, maiden voyage, sinking, and the aftermath. Tickets aren't cheap, but it's a must see.

    While the Titanic story probably got renowned because of that cursed "Unsinkable!" tag, I think it's the human stories that really make it lasting. The half-filled life boats get me, the stupidity of it all. As if having a few men aboard wouldn't have made things easier. In present times, wealth can buy you that privilege I guess, for better or worse. (hums in Marx)
    The Glaceon Pokemon though – Max really sending some signals XD

    The story of the wealthy Spanish couple, told unsentimentally, was still heartbreaking. I have to admit that I have a fascination with the Titanic, too. I especially like to hear of those who survived, shake my head at the "caste system" of the time, and I still marvel at what a grand and beautiful ship she was.
    You have a gift for storytelling as well as cooking. (You'd make a great history teacher.) Thanks again for bringing history alive.

    Blah Blah Blah, frankly you were going good till you hit the Spaniards, and then the story died. The lives of the hoi polloi and not as interesting as the lives of the 3rd and second class. The first class survived and most of the rest did not, Rank Hath Its Privileges.

    That story of the Spanish couple. soo sweet, poor things. Thank you.

    Marmalade should be slightly bitter, it's the best kind!

    Watercress has a lovely peppery aftertaste – great with beef or salmon sandwiches as well as in a salad as another layer of yum.

    I'm allergic to eggs full stop. Spent a week in Intensive and aftercare in a hospital in Austin after someone put egg whites in the Tequila machine to make the froth last longer – yeh, I sued before I got on a plane back to UK, and the drinks machine company sent out a warning to all their machine owners NOT to add egg whites to the machines that WEEKEND – they didn't want to be sued!! My friend got told about that the following Monday (from House of Blues in LA!) and 'did ya hears' my story regularly over the past 20 years! The doctors and nurses who looked after me also approach and speak to her to ask how she is and how I am..
