It has a think long handle with 3 smooth panels on top and finger indentations on the back. If you know where this ladle is, please deliver it to the kitchen so it can be reunited with its owner.
- The sample of the Angel Food cook book which was left on the greeters table for all to look at has disappeared! If you know where this cook book is, please return it to the foyer as soon as possible.
