Contrary to appearances, this isn't a newly discovered Dead Sea Scroll, but a couple of pages from my grandmother's handwritten recipe book, giving the recipe she always used for Christmas cake with marzipan (almond icing) & white icing. She was a Londoner all her life and this is very much a traditional British Christmas cake.

You can find great "Nori Mixes" in paper cans at most grocery store International isles, if not thy can be ordered on line. You could also just cut up plane nori sheets to top the eggs.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off.
