My Inuvik Parka

Mary Mulari sent me this wonderful story about a parka this woman bought at the GOODWILL STORE. You know how I perk up when somebody shares a "thrifting" story. And this one was also about SEWING!

The writer, Jean Cole, did some excellent research on her fabulous vintage parka and I really enjoyed the article....

Here's the link to Jean Cole's story...I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did.

Thanks, Mary -- for playing my blogging game AND sharing Jean's most excellent thrift adventure!!

What a great and interesting story. I loved hearing how the coat came about. It was sad that the author of the book didn't live to see his book in print.

King Arthur Popover Recipe

Preheat oven to 425 degrees... then preheat the Popover Pan...it needs to be screaming hot. Butter the sides generously -- right before you pour the batter.

4 eggs
1 1/3 c. milk
1 1/3 c. all purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
3 tbl melted butter

Whisk eggs into milk. Make sure everything is room temp. Whisk in the flour & salt, add the melted butter at the end.

Pour thin batter into Popover pan (2/3 full) and bake for 30 minutes. DON'T OPEN THE DOOR.

When the popovers are done -- get them out of the pan ASAP and prick the top with a sharp knife to prevent collapse.

Serve with REAL BUTTER...that's mandatory. Homemade jam is optional...
