What is your favorite – “why didn’t I think of this sooner” for food preservation: Mine is something I started as an experiment in my 20’s for “lunch box food”
Everyone knows about freezing everything from herbs to eggs to bits of left over meats in an ice cube tray for later use. And most have likely heard about using muffin trays then transferring to a zipper bag or air tight container.
And that does work EXCEPT sometimes the cubes still stick together.
I find the inexpensive cupcake/muffin papers in both sizes – filled no more than 3/4 but mostly 2/3 – when the food is frozen, just fold over the edges before placing in the bag – no more chunks/cubes stuck together
The primary difference between this switchboard and the one in use in YPD in the mid-70’s is the absecnce of Rotary Dial on the operator’s right. The headsets were also different. Western Electric kept those 500 series switchboards working until well into the 1980’s. The only upgrade was usually the addition of a rotary dial and some time in the late 70’s the addition of tone-tone 12 digit “dials” It was an adventure and a learning experience for all including the gentlemen from Bell Labs in Moorestown NJ – as a test site for the 557B that was in service for the Telephone Industry (slightly different model than that use in non=TAS offices)
This is a picture of the type of headsets used by both TAS & YPD at that time. Trust me when I say they were damned heavy
When I was in school so many decades ago, your reading comprehension score (the ability to accurately read, retain and yes repeat information in a document was something to be proud of.

Did you ever notice how fast a long time excellent fictional “series” ceases to be as enjoyable as soon as you see: Original Writer and Protege as joint authors?
I understand the follow the money – what is the worst is when the protege also has some excellent characters and suddenly the traits of the protege start being part of the Famous Author’s characters.
Living or Dead – it just means the authors work degrades even if it increases their cash flow… (in my opinion)
