I didn't know about the New Hope Impressionists--thanks for the art history lesson. Popovers are such a nostalgia food. In my family, they a play a starring role in a story that's retold often. My mom never learned how to cook in her youth and when she married my dad, cooking was expected. She worked diligently to learn to cook, and her first attempt at popovers produced solid rocks! My parents still laugh about it.

Popovers can be tricky!

I’m almost ashamed to admit I’ve never had a popover--or I can’t remember it anyway! These sound really delicious and not all that difficult (I hope!). Your beautiful painting of the mill and the story you tell about it makes me wish to visit. Thanks for your wonderful newsletter, Vicki!

Thanks Ruth. They are easy to assemble, but temperamental. Sometimes they pop up nicely, other times not so much! Kind of a retro recipe for when I'm feeling nostalgic.

A nice historical vignette, Vicki. And popovers are on my baking list--my mom made them every Christmas morning but I’ve never attempted them. Yet.

Luv the painting of the mill, the popovers, the butterfly, the table cloth, and the plants. I guess that about covers it . . . .
