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.

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.
