TODAY IN HISTORY

THE WAY WE WERE

The American actress and film star Myrna Loy was born on 2nd August 1905. She had both Scottish and Welsh ancestors. Her real name was Myrna Adele Williams. ‘Loy’ was the name of a train station that her father particularly liked, so she chose it as her stage name.

I don’t remember there being many leftovers when we were children - or during the war years. (If there were any, they probably got made into a pie!) We were always taught to be frugal and not to waste food. I think that was a good way to be.

Myrna Loy began her career as a dancer in silent films. She went on to appear in famous films like The Thin Man, and Stamboul Quest. She starred opposite many of the leading men of her day, including Cary Grant, Clark Gable and Tyrone Power.

Some of my favourite recipes used very dull ingredients. Who would have thought that old bread, much too dry for sandwiches, could be transformed into something as delicious as Queen of Puddings?
