Lovely to read your post about it. The music room really is remarkable. I'd never heard of Lady Curzon soup though and simply have to try it soon, probably with sole.

Then the soup. OK, I cannot stomach frogs' legs, but the rest sounds so perfect for these cold days coming! Deana dearest, again, you make a DOCUMENTARY here for us to enjoy. PLEASE tell me you are involved in either publishing or film making because you have all the skills and now-how. Thank you for coming to support me in my new adventure. Where it will take me, I have no idea. But it is certainly fun watching it unfold. I am doing things I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD DO; today we are going to go pick up the shipping boxes and again, it is surreal! <br /><br />Enjoy a great weekend creating and making a mark of excellence in your world!

I don't think the Lady herself could have done a better job (or her chef LOL).<br />In London there is a Curzon Street in a very expensive area in the city centre. I wonder if it is named after her and her husband?<br />*kisses* HHHeavenly Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14283933713343453486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8778626287556834261.post-49602105289667799942011-10-15T03:55:16.068-07:002011-10-15T03:55:16.068-07:00So often one reads that American heiresses married...So often one reads that American heiresses married poor titled Englishmen just for the title. Nice that these two appear to have loved each other (the rhyme notwithstanding). Her height was unusual too, was it not? What a shame she died so young.<br /><br />My grandfather used to raise turtles...we ate turtle meat often when I was younger. They were HUGE! <br /><br />In Michigan, my father had some property on sandy soil and often brought me eggs, which we buried and watched. When they hatched, we released them back on the sand property. I also remember having one as a pet. We drilled a hole in the corner of his shell (would that have hurt?) and tied a string on it. Honestly, the things I remember. And that turtle bit me on the nose when I kissed it.<br />:)<br />Anyway, my mother used to make turtle soup all the time. Lots of sherry in it as I recall. Have no idea where the recipe is.Barbarahttp://www.moveablefeastscookbook.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8778626287556834261.post-6279088542223263422011-10-14T16:43:22.364-07:002011-10-14T16:43:22.364-07:00Not only are your posts uniquely interesting..but ...Not only are your posts uniquely interesting..but the ingredients are always a touch unusual for me..and I love that.<br />The soup looks lovely.<br />Have a lovely weekend~La Table De Nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04358539954508050792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8778626287556834261.post-78309188347657224832011-10-13T19:39:24.003-07:002011-10-13T19:39:24.003-07:00What a delightful, interesting and fascinating pos...What a delightful, interesting and fascinating post.
