But my current agony is that, back from our vacation, I can't find any of the discs.

The one I have for this purpose in lighter than yours - part wood, part brass, but a bit hard to operate since you have to push from top (no cracking system). I do what you do, stand aside and instruct. :-)Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06002754872631420601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156654.post-35540804975107795392009-09-28T23:14:32.493-06:002009-09-28T23:14:32.493-06:00That was really beautiful Manisha- touched my hear...That was really beautiful Manisha- touched my heart.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156654.post-58707425836713720652009-09-28T12:48:44.368-06:002009-09-28T12:48:44.368-06:00Lovely post Manisha.

As we grow older and want to leave our progeny with the memories of our past, we begin to cherish and crave things we never had use for or thought too old fashioned. I feel the same way for my son, who is growing away from our extended family back home. He will never know the thrill and pleasure of meeting cousins and uncles and aunts and being pampered and indulged.Desisoccermomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06636571476699845725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156654.post-79244345538167653012009-09-28T10:38:01.493-06:002009-09-28T10:38:01.493-06:00Lovely post!

Wherever you...Ah, the world traveller's lament. Wherever you are, there is somewhere you are not. And it is never possible to have a party with all your friends at the same time. But it's all worth it for the mountains you would never have climbed, the meals you would never have eaten and the people you would never have met without making your journey.<br /><br />Sometimes it's good to hang on to the tangible evidence of where you've come from. It helps you know where you're going.Stella Devinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02766191865624508113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156654.post-65455246013935107742009-09-28T03:10:10.144-06:002009-09-28T03:10:10.144-06:00Nice post, Manisha!

We had a similar one, the top was different, though, it was a double cylinder and the top one was pressed down on the dough filled in the second one.srahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03243944393796831559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156654.post-85721284073534120962009-09-28T02:52:25.844-06:002009-09-28T02:52:25.844-06:00I'm always fascinated by - and interested in -...I'm always fascinated by - and interested in - remembrances of the past.
