🎙️ Episode 29: A Noodle Ring Is A Jell-O Ring, You Can See It Glistening - [Feb 13, 1943 (pt. 2)]
A noodle ring, a noodle ring / my kingdom for a noodle ring. / Fill it with cream and chicken, please, / and set it all a-jiggling.
Continuing our longest-ever letter, we learn all about a recipe (delicacy?) in Mattie's repertoire - a "creamed chicken in a noodle ring". Is it made with gelatin? Is it confusing? Yes and yes!
Just in time for Valentines, we learn there are big shortages in the things a fella might get - candy and flowers. Plus, Gin might get a medical operation, and Mattie is preparing for a huge celebration at church.
