Wondering why at this ghastly Wreath at hospice thrift.
A to Z Challenge Letter W. One of my favorite recurring themes for the A to Z Challenge - Weird and Wacky. I did a series of those posts in 2024.
Presenting thrift shop weird and wacky for this month's challenge. What I usually find are paintings and attempts at fine art.
I haven't continued the monthly series of weird and wacky into this year. I live in a deeply conservative rural area. There isn't as much weird and wacky as I found at thrift in Sacramento, California.
Found this book at thrift recently, sho nuff fits with this letter day.

Water Lily Pie
3 eggs separated
1 cup sugar
1/4 lb. butter
1/2 tsp. almond extract
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/8 tsp. cream of tartar
1 cup sugar
1/4 lb. butter
1/2 tsp. almond extract
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/8 tsp. cream of tartar
Beat yolks of three eggs until light, adding gradually 1/2 cup sugar. Cream butter, almond extract and vanilla. Stir this into egg mixture.
Beat egg whites very stiff. Add slowly 1/2 cup sugar and cream of tartar. Spread whites over buttered and floured pie pan. Push toward edge, making depression in center. Pour filling into middle very carefully. Bake is a slow oven nearly an hour.
"It should look just like a water lily - if it don't, you did something wrong."
I did find an A to Z Wine!
Ending with one of my favorite commercials now seen in the states.
A to Z Challenge letter X will be Xenodocheionology.
Have you tried the recipe, did it look like a waterlily? Or did you do something wrong?!
ReplyDeleteWhite trash cooking sounds almost appealing. I guess my weird and wacky side couldn't resist.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day.
That's a fascinating collection of finds. Especially the cookbook. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI hope you're enjoying the A to Z Challenge. Please check out the giveaway on my W post.

What a world of weird and wacky wonders! I loved the button suncatcher!
ReplyDeleteThat wine company ought to sponsor a bottle of A-Z wine either for every person completing the challenge, or to be drawn as a prize for one or two of these ;) It would be very fitting!
