Not a
lot to talk about today, so I will just burble on about the same thing as
yesterday. And what was that?
Why a
trip down memory lane of course.
So
the soap commercials reminded me about the radio programmes that were associated
with them.
The
phrase persil washes whiter echoing off into the distance was the sponsorship
add for Portia Face Life. Portia was , if memory serves, a lawyer who fought
for the little people.
Courtesy
of my asthma I got ot spend a lot of time at home sick, and the radio was good
company for bored kid.
Then
there was Doctor Paul.
And
Aunt Daisy, good old Daisy Basham with her ‘Good morning everybody, good
morning, good morning’ was her very recognisable welcoming greeting. She was a
very early mid-morning radio host offering hints and recipes as well as
interviews with subjects to interest her female listeners. Several books were
published of collections of recipes and hints. I’ve got one tucked away in a
box somewhere back in NZ.
Good
old fashioned start from scratch, nutritious, and filling recipes for all kinds
of food. Pickles and chutneys, preserves, cakes and biscuits, pudding, mains,
bread and just about every kind of dish you could imagine.
I remember
once trying to take down a recipe from the radio and not being able to write
terribly well drew pictures of the ingredients. Probably not accurate enough to
produce a finished product.
