Dress Of The Day with Angela

  Jack Wills white tee-shirt with the Jack Wills brand name. Seflie photo by Angela Lansbury. This British company started with a shop in Salcombe, on the coast in England. Lots of items have the company name. You can find them on the Next website. They have clothes for men, boys, women and girls. In Singapore, too. I wore this around the house all day, so cool, not metaphorically, literally.  Colour The classic white tee-shirt goes with anything. But with blue lettering, blue would be better. This item looks like it would go perfectly with blue jeans. If you want a better match for jeans than plain white, try blue.  If you go to a meeting on Zoom, as I did, or take a photo, you have to make sure the lettering comes out right.

  Props We boiled up the egg, the small chicken's egg, for the small egg cup. I looked around the living room and saw a giant ostrich egg, souvenir of South Africa. Just thing for an impact in a photo and on zoom for a speech about cooking eggs.  Clothes and Hat The Apron   I had the chef's apron in wide blue and narrow white stripes. I bought it for my husband who felt and looked silly in my girl aprons decorated with flowers. It is waterproof and handy for protecting clothes from water, juice and coffee, more often than for cooking.  How To Make The DIY Paper Chef's Hat You can buy chef's hat from cookware suppliers. But I needed one instantly. For a speech about cooking eggs I thought I would switch my baseball hat to something else. What?  I had no chef's hat. But I did have a pillbox hat. So I took White A4 paper from the printer, or the pile of discarded paper, or the waste bin. I folded parallel strips using a ruler.  Then I folded  them ba...
