Good afternoon #cookingsky, a request for help, please. I'm looking for a particular French fish soup I recall my late father bringing back from France in the 80s/very early 90s. It came in a packet, in dry form, with a smaller packet of croutons inside. These were so fierce with garlic my mother

I can still get books delivered to you before Christmas.
Even though it's mad busy and my suppliers are working their socks off to get books to you, I can still offer a 24 hour tracked service for deliveries.

Handypersons! Help me remove a drawer from my bedside table. (A book has fallen down behind it and now it won’t close fully…)
The drawer has a single underside slider in the centre of the drawer bottom. No clips or levers to release it. It’s from Laura Ashley, if that helps. Best pics I could get:

Door 21 of Shedvent: the Winter King, in his crown of green oak and mistletoe and red holly berries; here to welcome you to his hall. He hands you a bottle the size of your thumb, closed with an acorn stopper. "Here, on the heels of the longest night, is a gift of light: use it well. And shine..."

Door 20 of #Shedvent: You follow the passage into a subterranean hall. Lanterns hang from the ceiling: woven rugs line the rocky floor. A great fir tree grows in the centre, laden with silver icicles and small, wrapped gifts tied with silver string...

When another man is publicly revealed to have behaved inappropriately, what still breaks my brain is how many people connected to the industry sector concerned are, at best, totally unsurprised at both the information itself and the inaction by those who should have protected people.

Really lovely ceramics, I have some of the plant labels and a particularly beautiful tree decoration 💚
If you wanted to purchase any of my wife's ceramics for Christmas, her last visit* to the post office will be on Friday.
I think the code BIGMOUTH still gives my online friends some discount.
*Not ever, I hope she'll visit the post office many more times in her life, but for now.
