Lists

They can be dull; on the other hand, in their intensity, they can resonate.

Here is an especially compelling one, in my mother's hand, in one of her notebooks:

Delia's peppers.
Cold delights from smoker + potato salad, green salad, nice bread. (Little ones?)
Orange & lemon Charlotte.
Clotted cream.
Boned birds, new potatoes, roasted potatoes, green beans, cauliflower, carrots.
Gravlax.
Damp beef. Turkey. Casserole.
Pumpkin soup. Kedgeree.

A Christmas menu? Probably.
