Memories of Nanny’s House
“Even before bed she insisted it wasn’t
good for children to sleep without something in their stomachs . . . out came the basket of sliced bread, the plastic bear
with the yellow spout for a hat that held the molasses, and the small tub of margarine. The older folks would have the last
of their dozen daily cups of tea while we children drank milk and gobbled that marvellous bread.” -- Bread and
Molasses by Angela Ranson
