I've worked out how to get the garlic ready without using the oven - you can wrap it in paper towel instead of foil and do it in the microwave, using successive short bursts until it's gone soft.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8332789009807942569.post-81960641838171548012022-11-12T00:14:46.780+13:002022-11-12T00:14:46.780+13:00I’ve loved this for years since it was published i...I’ve loved this for years since it was published in Nigella’s column in the Telegragh!

He was the only teacher I liked and who liked me at the time. <br />He fostered in me a love of writing, of stories and of language. He said something to me that has never left me and has continued to resonate throughout my life. He said, “Youre like Hamlet, you dont know your thoughts till you say them”. This was a profound statement that has chartered the course of my life.

It's available as an e-book on Amazon if you can't find a printed copy, but there should be a few left in the shops - I know Unity in Wellington has it. It's full of examples of taste evoking memories. <br /><br />Anne Elsehttps://elsewoman.co.nznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8332789009807942569.post-40903999707807421012021-04-05T06:21:01.473+12:002021-04-05T06:21:01.473+12:00My Mum used to make these Salmon sandwiches like y...My Mum used to make these Salmon sandwiches like you say back in the day the tinned was all you could get unless you were wealthy. Something else comes to mind, I was at a relations house as an adult and the lady of the house-made sandwiches as soon as I had tasted one it took me back to my childhood it was quite profound. Years later after this had happened many times I asked Mary what she put in the sandwiches it was just salad things but the magic ingredient was salad cream. It never ceases to amaze me how taste can evoke memories.<br />I think I'll have to get your book there may be more memories locked inside it.

I thought three hours might be long but it was perfect. I did leave the celery pieces a bit long, and also added a layer of thinly sliced carrots. Made it a meal in one.

I think she would have just picked up the idea of making these, perhaps from the Woman's Weekly or 'Aunt Daisy' on the radio! We also had tinned salmon and salad in summer for dinner (always called 'tea'). I'll try those egg and tomato sandwiches, they do sound delicious.AnneEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00869114756713316204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8332789009807942569.post-56580702992525574352020-06-09T05:47:14.467+12:002020-06-09T05:47:14.467+12:00Hi.
