I am often amazed when i think back on my mother's efforts in a simple kitchen with very little modern equipment, but then I was available as the 'cake mixer' and 'egg-white beater' (with a wire whisk) . . . . and all the pressings which were done of tomatoes, or berries through a sieve, held in a wooden casing (bought from wandering gipsies) with a wooden pestle which had a broad and many-grooved base. But it was great to have that common bond in the kitchen - and we often sang together, too, operetta and her kind of pop song, which didn't become mine, I got too classical (and snobby). I didn't have this with my girls, because i worked outside the home.
Now I must to bed
Good night
