Interesting origin of baking powder!
I haven't read the entire book, but I'm thinking if it was the Good Witch of the North that kissed Dorothy and sent her to Emerald City in the Wizard of Oz, then it wasn't Glinda as she was the Good Witch of the South. Four directions but only three witches in the movie. Introducing to some the real Good Witch of the North: Locasta Tattypoo. With a name like that she has to be good.
Happy Friday Miss C!
Happy Friday, gwdMaine!
Fun Fact re baking powder: One of the most prominent brands of same in the late nineteenth/early twentieth century was Price's. As in Vincent Price. Yes, his family was quite well-to-do, if not outright wealthy, from sales of Price's Baking Powder, and, not having to worry about how to make a living, he was able to become an actor.
re Baking Powder History, in the mid 60's quite often I would go to Norumbega Park to eat my lunch and feed the ducks.
