Now that the box joinery is complete and dry fit it’s time for the lid. I asked my apprentice what species I should use and this is what they came up with. A lovely combination of walnut and torrefied, birds-eye maple. This probably isn’t what I would have chosen but now that it’s in front of me, I think it looks great! It’s nice to be able to draw ideas and opinions from the people around us. As makers, we’re often alone with our thoughts and designs… having a second opinion from someone you trust is always a welcome change-;) new episodes of An Unplugged Life are up!

Another recipe from Grandma’s sister Oral that I found in Grandma’s recipe file. I love oatmeal myself do so I already had that, but I had to buy the Wheaties. I was worried about the coconut flavor being too strong, but it blends right in.

Since these are “Ranger Cookies,” I thought they would go well with the Ranger Joe mugs. I had a memory that Grandma D had somehow used boxtops to get these mugs for my older brother and me. His was the blue, mine was the red. And I have found that my memory was right. Apparently Ranger Joe Cereal was the first pre-sweetened cereal on the market and the company did offer product giveaways when people sent in boxtops as proof of purchase.

The plate pictured was our everyday china when I was very little. It is by W.S. George which was a pottery that manufactured products both in Ohio and Pennsylvania. The pattern of tiny red flowers is very faded on the plates that I have, but I probably rescued them from being used as liners under Daddy’s plants, so they had some hard use and not just in the kitchen. The pattern is Dalrympole, more commonly called Blushing Rose. It was first sold in 1940. Since our parents married in 1941, it may have been a wedding present.
