Orphan Thanksgiving was cancelled for the first time in, what, a decade? Mainly because I could not face cooking for a crowd of fifty or more people who do not understand the tradition.
Still, I will be cooking for a smaller group, on a different date, at a secret location. Shh.
The main problem this year is the fact that cranberries and pumpkin are scarce to nonexistent. Some kind of crop famine? I have no idea. So it was away to London to look for a solution!
While there I also went on some typewriter recon (or recce if you insist) in the murky lanes of Middlesex.
