Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Carpaccio in Umbria

Many claim this is the best Italian antipasto. It is properly made with dandelion greens.


This alone is plenty of lunch for me, but I rarely bother with lunch anyway unless it is a fun or social occasion. The simple recipe here.


Tastes fine, or better, if the flattened meat air-dries a little bit. Maybe half an hour or so.


This one was served to me in a cute little restaurant in Todi last June, sitting under the grape vines. Glass of the local Orvieto - not a great vino but just right with this on a warm day.

BD, eat a hearty breakfast then a modest lunch, late afternoon snack and late supper with a bit of wine. Sleep eight hours. Don't lie, be honest with your spouse and neighbors and keep your kidlets in line until they take on their own stuff (age "as early as possible"), then lie about how much they might inherit...should you, the parents, survive their shenanigans. Keep happy by enjoying all opportunities and "thungs" you have left to learn.

Great blog, BTW.
