British Pork Pie Recipe - The Hedgecombers

I'm learning lots of stuff about Britain by reading all these English mysteries. My latest heroine bought a pork pie for lunch so I pulled one up to take a look at.

This is real good. Typical PD James...she goes into minute detail about everything as the story inches along....I have a little trouble trying to picture what all the women are wearing even though she tells me in agonizing detail...but I try to figure out their outfits....the girls would get it. 

A man would notice that a woman was well dressed of course but I, for one, would not be able to DESCRIBE it. I would just say: "Oh...you look FINE!"

[My wife told me once after we were married 15 years that telling a woman that she looks FINE is NOT A GOOD COMPLIMENT....who knew? So....when your wife says: How do I look? you are supposed to say Oh, you look exquisite, adorable, You look so THIN....]  Whatever

Diego Rivera: What Are His Early Works? Why Are They Important? –  ARTnews.com

Here is the Diego Rivera painting that was used on the cover of The Cotton-Pickers by Elephant Paperbacks that I have. Painted in 1904.

I will have to look at more of his paintings. I know that he had done lots of murals in the old days.

I read "Five Years Later" today... the continuing saga of what happens to the United States after an EMP attack by North Korea and a "terrorist group" (probably Iran and several terror organizations) fomented by China and Russia.  (One Second After, One Year After, The Final Day, Five Years After... I expect to see another, plenty of room for a followup.  Awesome series with terrifying reality.  
I need more ammo, survival food, water, guns, ammo, fuel.  Got work to do...
