Aahm doin' nowt much the day…...

…….except ratching (rummaging) for some old (VERY old!) b&w 35mm slides for the firstborn and doing a few loads of washing (though NOT in a poss-tub!) because it's a good drying day…….todays larnyerselgeordie lesson.

Speaking of lessons, I've just finished a 5 week FutureLearn course 'A History of Royal Food and Feasting' this morning, it's bound to be run again and I can highly recommend it! Found some great links to old cookbooks this week…….. 
The Modern Housewife (1850)
The Gastronomic Regenerator (yes, really!) from 1850
The Modern Cook (1846)
The Book of Ices
A New System of Domestic Cookery (1808)
…..added bonus, think they're all downloadable in Kindle version as well as pdf…..
