Dear Holmesians,

Though I've not heard of this anywhere before, I find it not so difficult to
believe. Living in a cold climate any food stored in the larder would not easily
spoil and there was nothing to prevent them from storing stuff like we do in a
fridge. I live with my bachelor friends and we always have a loaf or two of
bread and other ready-to-eat goodies around.

Still, I think the main reason for this would have been due to Holmes' odd
eating habits. He might be (as he sometimes was) engaged in a three-pipe problem
and need nourishment at odd hours of the day while the rest of the house slept.

Wishing you all a very, very happy, memorable, profitable, and satisfactory
New Year 2008.

Cheers.

PS: New members are always welcome to the society. I'm sure Mr. Farrell will
find us only too eager to discuss the Canon and anything related to it.

At the 31st Meeting of The Goose Club (last night, Los Angeles) I
mentioned The SHSOI and this post to Mr Farrell. He welcomes
discussion, perhaps he can be invited to join the group?

With all good wishes for the New Year,
