I so enjoy hearing your mother’s voice and yours together. Beautiful piece, too, about her typewriter and about your relationship with her.

Oh! The gatherings from growing up---potlucks and progressive dinners! I miss them.

The Cadet Typewriter made me think of the book I'm listening to--Olivetti. It's really good even if it isn't a cookbook.

Thanks for the mention, Amie! Also love the randomness of a potluck spread—this sounded like a good one.

I just ordered up a copy of Cook & Tell and love Pot Luck Bingo! Brilliant!

Good choice, Kate! You’ll find recipes for sweet and savory pies, among others.

Both the bingo card and book may be collectors’ items someday 🤣

That is so fascinating to know that potlucks are regional. Glad you are spreading the experience to newbies.
