March is going to be all about making life easy. This month we will do ‘Pick what you see first‘ themes. So open the book you are reading, continue reading; pick the first mention of any name in it and post the snippet. The only condition is ‘No Ebooks’.. lets go traditional. Easy-peasy!!

And this week's theme is Food [first snippet having any relevance to food, eating, drinks, drinking, etc.]

Here's mine from Strange Murders at Greystones by Elsie N. Wright (p. 92):

"Poor Griggs dropped something in her hurry." Polly stooped to pick it up, and unwrapped it. It contained half a roast chicken. Polly threw herself into a chair and laughed.

"What ho! Old Griggs has been filching from the icebox! Griggs of all people! At her age! I certianly never suspected her of such a thing. Why, she used to make me go without my dinner if I so much as snitched a doughnut from the pantry."
