Happy Pancake Day!

This pancake recipe is from 'The Cook's and Confectioner's Dictionary' (1723) by John Nott, the oldest cookery book in our collections.

"...it will make them crisp, look yellow as Gold, and eat very well."

📷 Reserve 640.4 NOT

I would like to speak up today for the trans community.

You see, I know a bit of what it’s like to be politically scapegoated. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, suddenly anyone in America who had any amount of Japanese ancestry became suspect. Politicians preyed upon ignorance and fear. /1
