A SHORT REVERIE

 

The Shop is celebrating its 14th year of operation on June 10.  The celebration will be private, a cup of cinnamon flavored coffee will be served to staff and drunk behind the curtain in the back of the Shop, I will give a 30 second speech without saying anything maudlin, and then, staff and I will get back to work.

 

Frankly, it's been a helluvah good ride, Dear Reader, and I am grateful and thank each and every customer, supplier, friend, acquaintance, and relative who helped The Daisy Shop achieve this year mark.  Certain people come to mind:  Andrea, Ruth, Pat, Catherine, Janelle, Jan, Cynthia, Eileen, Eloise, Vanessa, Waverly, Marion, Deborah, Loreen, Ann, Fay, Kevin, Mark, Marie, Ulrike, Ilene, Bob, Steve, Michael, Chuck, Sam, The Daisy Mother, The Daisy Brother, The Daisy Aunt, The Daisy Uncle, Anna C., Pam, another Andrea, Tim, Mark, Russell, Lindsay, Luis, Boguslaw, Lindsay, and Laura.  I am grateful and thank each and every staff person, those onboard (Anna, Herta, Rym) and those who have gone on to other endeavors (Colleen, Chrissie, Roz, Nona, Lara, Josephine, Gary, Jessica, Carroll, and Sue) whose good help was much appreciated and needed in the day-to-day operations of the Shop.

GRIPE, GRUMBLE, GROUSE

 

Here's the story:  Moi ordered a $12.49 roaster pan from target.com.  It arrived in good condition, but was too big for my oven.  I shipped it back, as per their instructions, and received a $4.12 credit for the purchase.  That's right, $4.12!  Target's policy for returned items that are not defective or damaged is for the customer to pay shipping out and back.  In my case, almost $18.  I still need a new roaster and now have $4.12 to pay for a 2nd one.  Something's wrong with shopping at target.com.  Similar websites are eating most of the shipping charges, asking as little as $2.95 for shipping.  Believe I'll shop for my new roaster pan at overstock.com when I get a chance.

BOOK WORM CORNER

The Secret Man

by Bob Woodward

Publisher, Simon & Schuster (2005)

212 pages

ISBN13: 9780743287159

 


From http://www.reviewsofbooks.com/secret_man/

 

The Secret Man: The Story of Watergate's Deep Throat by Bob Woodward The Secret Man, Bob Woodward's Deep Throat source during Watergate, is now known to be ex-FBI official W. Mark Felt. Woodward doesn't reveal much in the way of new hard facts about the Watergate investigation, but in The Secret Man, he chronicles the history of his relationship with Felt. It began with a chance meeting in the White House when Woodward was a naval officer, but the ambitious Woodward was constantly adding contacts to his network that would follow him to his reporting career at the Washington Post. When the Watergate story broke, Felt was one of the first people Woodward called. Woodward was desperate for any information and Felt wanted to get the truth out while protecting his identity. Their initial exchanges of bits and pieces of the story soon gave way to a trusting partnership that eventually led to the downfall of a president. Once Woodward began to understand the whole story, he knew early on that it would lead to Nixon's removal from office, but to this day, he doesn't know Felt's motivation for feeding him information. The Secret Man has received mixed reviews with USA Today saying, "It's fascinating and frustrating, revealing and disingenuous, self-critical and self-serving."

 

"Rushed into print after former FBI second-in-command W. Mark Felt was unmasked as Watergate's enigmatic arch-informant, this memoir reminds us that the scandal's lasting impact was less on politics than on journalism. Woodward recounts his cultivation of the avuncular Felt as mentor and source during his days as a cub reporter, the cloak-and-dagger parking garage meetings where Felt leaked conclusions from the FBI's Watergate investigation, Felt's ambivalence about his actions and the chilling of their post-Watergate relationship. The narrative drags in later years as the author showily wrestles with the ethics of revealing his source, even after a senile Felt begins blurting out the secret and his family pesters Woodward to confirm his identity. Woodward portrays Felt as a conflicted man with situational principles (he was convicted of authorizing the FBI's own Watergate-style illegal break-ins), motivated possibly by his resentment of White House pressure on the FBI for a cover-up, possibly by pique at being passed over for FBI chief. Unfortunately, Felt doesn't remember Watergate, so his reasons remain a mystery; Woodward's disappointment at the drying up of his oracle is palpable. What's clear is that Deep Throat laid the template for Woodward's career; his later reporting on cloistered institutions-the Supreme Court, the CIA, the Fed, various administrations-relied on highly-place, often unnamed insiders to unveil their secrets. It gave his reporting its omniscient tone, but, critics complain, drained it of perspective and made it a captive of his sources and their agendas. Woodward doesn't probe these issues very deeply, but he does open a window on the fraught relationships at the heart of journalism. " Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)

CONSULTATION & COMMENTARY

Your website is amazing.  Why don't you accept Paypal? Kathy

(Thanks for the compliment.  Nice hearing from you.  RE:  Paypal The commission is higher on Paypal than the credit cards charge individually, and I'm a frugal woman.  Barbara)

 

General

Congrats on your 14th anniversary.  A bunch of folk

I'll always remember my first couture piece, an Armani pantsuit, and it was you, Barbara, who encouraged me to spend $715, an enormous amount of money for me in 1990, advising it would be my favorite wardrobe piece for years and years.  You were right!  It was and it opened the door for me to shop couture resale.   Joan

(Hi Joan, Thanks for your nice thoughts.  Stickler that I am for detail requires me to tell you that you purchased the Armani pantsuit in 2002, not 1990, and you paid $745, not $715.  Now, you're into Richard Tyler and Burberry, too.  Isn't that fine?  Barbara) 

Are you loosing weight?  You're looking too thin.  A couple of folk

(Yeah, I had jaw surgery in March and can't yet eat solid foods.  Will bulk up as my jaw heals, I promise.  Barbara)

Why are there no photos of you on the website?  Diane

(The website is to sell merchandise, not showcase me.  Purposely innocuous, I am modeling garments in two photos on the website, reproduced below.  One, a butt shot, showing a Gucci pantsuit with Chanel Vintage hat (bad hair day); the other showing a Dolce & Gabbana dress and matching blouse (no longer like my hair short).  Barbara)

Merchandise Related

I clean my closet at the end of a season.  Why don't you take in end of season stuff?  Barbara

(Don't have enough storage room to retain merchandise 6 months in advance of season.  Sorry.  The way I figure it is this:  you stored the stuff all season and didn't wear it, so continue storing it until the beginning of the season and call me, then.  Barbara)

Merchandise Related

When are you going to get more Hermes scarves and shawls?  Kitty

(I wish I knew.  If you'd like, I'll retain your email address and put you on our Daisy Fresh Pix email list.  You'll get notifications of fresh merchandise 24 hours before the merchandise goes live on our website.  (For visitors reading our fashion ezine online, email us with your email address and you'll be notified, too.  Click this test link to do so:  Yes!

MERCHANDISE RELATED

Hello! Hope you are enjoying your Sunday. Just purchased what I now believe may be real vintage find. Needed a formal, evening coat, preferably in white so entered such a description on e-bay and this lovely Blum’s Vogue Chicago coat appeared. Never heard of this store until an internet search revealed their status. The coat arrived yesterday and is quite stunning with detailing one cannot find in ready to wear at least. Probably duchess satin with a kind of ‘puffy’ effect. Needs to be cleaned and am a petite 0-2 so concerned that alterations will not disrupt the integrity of the design and of course some of the unique seams. I was able to purchase with a “best offer” of $69. Figured of course that was a deal but now wondering of if its approximate value far supersedes my expectation. If I forward you its e-bay page, as they were quite diligent with photos, including a close-up of the couture-quality of the seams, might you possibly suggest a round figure? Just curious here (not a kitty cat so I should be safe). Thanks ever so for your time, Krysten
(Hello Krysten, You purchased the Vintage coat at a wonderful price. Not necessary to forward picture. Cordially, Barbara, The Daisy Shop)

COMFORT FOOD

4th of July Recipes

Trifle
1 yellow or white cake mix (or buy a bunch of Lady Fingers, already made)
2 packets of custard or pudding mix, instant is fine
2 bags, 1 lb. each, frozen fruit or equivalent sliced fresh fruit, blueberries and strawberries are especially fine for the 4th of July
1/3 C sugar (more or less to taste) or equivalent sugar substitute
1-1/2 C heavy cream, whipped (or to save time, use whipped topping for heaven sake!), sherry, optional.  Use additional fresh fruit for garnish.
Serves 10-12
Basic Instructions:
Prepare cake according to directions on package. Let cool completely.
Prepare custard or pudding mix according to package instructions. Let cool completely.
Mix fruit with sherry. If you don't want to use alcohol, use a little water or apple juice instead. You want the fruit to be sitting, but not swimming, in a bit of sweetened juice. Some people like to really soak the cake in the alcohol, then add the fruit on top. I think this can tend to make the cake too soggy, so I prefer less.
Whip the cream or not, if you're using the whipped cream from a can.
To assemble:
Trifle is very forgiving, it takes no effort to make it looks great! If you don't have a trifle bowl, like the one in the photo, use any large glass bowl. It doesn't technically have to be glass, but it looks prettier if it is. You can also make individual servings by placing the layers in large wine goblets.
Cut the cakes into large chunks and cover the bottom of your dish with a layer of cake. Top with a layer of prepared fruit, then a layer of custard. Repeat the process until you are out of ingredients or the bowl is full. Top with whipped cream and garnish with fresh fruit. Chill until serving time.
To Serve:
Simply scoop out servings with a large spoon.
