Raspberry Vinegar

While looking at recipes on Newspapers.com, I came across this 1862 recipe, recommended for the aid of sick and wounded civil war soldiers.

  "It makes an agreeable and refreshing beverage and those who desire to do something for the aid of the sick and wounded soldiers, cannot prepare anything more acceptable than a quantity of this Raspberry vinegar."

It's not quite raspberry season here in Pa, but we may attempt a batch once it is.

The Best Fonts For Flourishes in Design Space -

Image
Cliff Notes: Similar to "fonts with tails" (easy glyphs), like in the  I Love Glitter font, but these fonts are ALL glyphs.  (See fonts with tails cheat sheet here) Don't install them all!  Use fontlab pad and open what you want to use right from the zipfile.  Less clutter! Lists of pretties, arrows, and frames, below, with a short list of free sites with svg files for flourishes at the bottom. All the fonts listed below are free, and found on Dafont. Fonts are my favorites for lines! You can just install the font to your computer, then in design space find the font under "system fonts".  Now type the letter, or number,  from the fonts chart to get the corresponding line. I suggest you do NOT do that though.  If you install all of these fonts, they are really going to clutter up your font list.  Instead, create a folder named "Flourishes".  Save the zip files for each of these fonts in that folder.  ALSO, on the page for each font, right click on the c
