Day 40 #100DaysOfOldDays

I have Mrs Curly’s old mixing bowl. Ha! Yes, really hers. She left it to me as a going away present when she left town; with a note inside.

To my Student of the Year-1983.You were a pleasure to teach. This bowl was made for your kitchen and now you must have it.

These are the bowls we used in cookery class in the Tech, the Convent and then the Community School. After all these years, I found out that these bowl are no ordinary bowls!

They were made by T.G. Green & Co. Ltd, which was established in 1864 in Derbyshire. The patent of this one #491517 was granted in 1913. The patent aspect of these bowls are the hand grips on each side and the flat panel on the bottom. The panel allows the bowl to sit at an angle for easy mixing.

I thought they were just fancy mixing bowls. How would I know when no one told me?

Thanks Kay. I love it!

Have you any memorable moments from cookery class?
