Requiem for a wedding present

[Lady's Human]

Sadly, its day has finally come.

It's been used to the point of disintegration.

I need to buy a new Fanny Farmer cookbook.

Join us in a moment of silence?

You're going to get rid of your Fanny??? Oh no.............

[Karen]

Awww, make sure you save any important recipes! The copy I have is the Thirteenth Edition, last copyright date in it is 1990, in case you ever need me to look something up for ya!

I bet it needs spine surgery, or the Scotch tape has yellowed and won't hold anymore?

RIP Fanny, twas a pleasure to know you were there to help.

You reminded me of a fun little tradition we had in our house.

My mom would hold on to electric appliances that were worn to the point that you needed to have the right touch to use. So, if anyone else tried them, we'd fail and she'd have to come over and use her magic spell.

I'd go buy a replacement for whatever it was, then go to her house, open the door and toss it out onto the porch.

The first few times she was very angry and that would last until I'd come back and she'd beam about "how easy" it was to operate the new one.

She gradually warmed up to the event and would hint about getting new stuff by asking to have stufff tossed.

The poor book was beyond salvage. We lost cookie recipes, some other recipes for baking, and the remnants of the book (6 or 7 pieces) were in a ziploc bag.

I went to find a recipe tonight and couldn't. I had to order a new book. :sad:
