A few days ago, Mrs. LFM was preparing the evening repast as she and I were simultaneously watching an episode of Tasting History with Max Miller. The particular episode was Victorian Mincemeat With Actual Meat which I have both linked in the title and embedded for your convenience at the end of tonight’s morsel. Mrs. […]

I once watched a standup comedian talking about some bad advice given to him while he was growing up. He said he was warned that you always have to watch “the quiet ones”, and even at a young age that didn’t sit well with him. He wondered, while you’re busy watching the quiet ones, what’s […]

Autumn Delights By LFM A timeless Autumn pleasure is a simple pile of leaves, To toss and roll and jump in, filling chilly sweatered eves. With nothing but a rake or two, construction is a cinch, The higher heap the better, made more joyful by the inch. A heap of leaves is pleasure pure to […]
