"Thank you for wanting to send us more dried egg, but we still have a bit left to see us through until spring. Some time between April and September we usually manage all right for eggs, as they go off ration for a time and then we do a bit of trading with the tins, as once for a special occasion I traded a tin of dried egg for a pair of nylons."
p39: 84 Charing Cross Road, by Helene Hanff
Ha! I thank goodness that I cannot even imagine eating dried eggs! On the other hand, we happen to have had an overabundance of the ordinary kind lately, and I'm really getting tired of eating eggs -- and soon that bunny will be bringing even more!
ReplyDeleteI've had 84 CHARING CROSS on my TBR list for a long time. I'm kind of saving it. Hope you're enjoying it!
