St. Patrick may have banished the snakes from Ireland, but he couldn’t resist the charm of Brennan’s bread!
This St. Patrick’s Day, we’re celebrating with a special green-wrapped Family Pan—because even saints need a good slice to go with their shamrock shake!

A variety of lamb trotters and tripe displayed for sale at a butcher shop in La Boqueria, showcasing local culinary offerings.
Is an idiom that means to put all your hopes or efforts into one single thing, implying a risky strategy because if that one thing fails, you lose everything; essentially, not diversifying your options.
Shopping for the meals I've planned for this coming week.

A bustling street scene in Bangkok shows a city life, some people crossing the road while several make use of the shaded food cart in the center. Overhead canopies provide relief from the sun for some of the shops, accentuating the urban atmosphere of Thai capital.
From City Green (fruit and veg) and Reduced to Clear (everything else except the milk). The milk is from the dairy.
Just in shot is a box of four drink bottles. I thought it was one bottle for $6. At the check out I was told they were sold in boxes of four. Four for $6!

One of the many thousands of 'official handbooks' issued by UK local authorities in the mid-20th Century and this, for the County Borough of Blackburn was, like many others, issued for them by E J Burrow & Co. Ltd. having been compiled in co-operation with the borough's Chamber of Commerce. Blackburn was a well established textile town on the north western fringes of the heavily industrialised South Lancashire area; as well as the ubiquitious cotton industry Blackburn was also home to allied textile engineering companies and, by the 1960s, a burgeoning electrical electrical sector.
The Handbook details local services and amenities, mostly supplied by the Corporation, as well as detailed descriptions of the various companies many of whom placed adverts in the Handbook trumpeting their wares or services.
Splashing out the local Blackburn Co-operative Society took two full page adverts in the handbook and, in terms of contemporary graphic design, they are the two brightest and best! Both adverts jump out of the page with 50's modernity in terms of both graphics and typography. It is a shame they are not credited. Bright, modern and hygienic; the photographs show what look like early self-service retail areas in the Co-op's food stores.
Fruit and veg from City Green. I love summer fruit.
