fantastic collections (Canada)

While I was out of town, these two postcards came from my penpal Ray in British Columbia. He writes that he’s sure I could make all of these desserts, but I am quite skeptical as I’ve done almost no work at all with gelatin, a main component in many of these dishes. Looking at the dishes here, I could make the Victoria sandwiches, the meringues, stewed pears, crystalized fruits, and the iced oranges (I think!). On the other hand, no pun intended, I have studied a little American Sign Language! I will admit to being in part inspired by the beautiful and fascinating Nyle Dimarco. I took a class at the Community College of San Francisco a few years back with my friends M and P; we had a great time learning the language. I was surprised and very tickled to learn that ASL is handed - so left-handed signers produce signs differently from right-handed signers. Fantastic!
