As I recut the linen corset pieces I ended up a pile of linen ribbons. I thought I should save them, waste not want not and all, so I started dropping them in a bowl.

Once I made the pasta connection I had to put the silverware next to the dish. I did not pull a Charlie Chaplin and take a bite though.
Did you know that the shoe in question was made of licorice for Chaplin by the American Licorice Company, maker of Red Vines?
ReplyDeleteI thought of you Alineaphile when I posted the Chaplin image because of your WC Fields kumquat post! I wondered what was used to make that shoe, now I know, thanks!
ReplyDeleteThe linen pappardelle reminded me of the shape of pasta called strozzapreti ("priest-stranglers", as S. informs me)...beware, fabric trimmings in the mirror may be more dangerous than they appear! Best wishes from across the pond. J
ReplyDeleteHi Jonathan! I knew there was a more accurate pasta than fettucini!
ReplyDeleteI adore that you reference Charlie Chaplin in here. Your whole blog is wonderful.
