Marmite? Black sausage? But most definitely curry mixes and Weetabix.

There’s a British section in the Jackson Kroger. Everything in it looks horrifying. I watch “As Time Goes By” on PBS Saturday nights and got the wild idea to google Sainsbury’s. Not a good advertisement for British food. For instance, a company called Mr. Brains makes these frozen meatballs they call faggots.

God, yes, doesn’t it? I can never decide whether Kroger’s supplier is just putting us on.

In the British section of the Jackson, MS area Kroger stores, there is a canned dessert item called “Spotted Dick.” Seriously. Something like bread pudding with raisins in it.

My sister was at her son's graduation when the Dalai Lama spoke. Sadly, she had trouble understanding anything he said more due to his accent rather than acoustics. ..

The first thing that occurs to me is an image of Ross Barnett's walking onto the stage, surveying those three and inquiring: "And which one of you gen'men is Mr. Dolly?" ..

Most Generals at this time did not do much direct observation of the ground their troops were expected to take. They had staff to do this but many times the staff did not do their jobs. Grant was no b ..

Pemberton blames everyone but himself. Grant doesn't blame himself, but does spare his blame for where it's deserved. The assaults were unlikely to succeed, but I might have ordered them myself; you c ..

I was thinking of Leonard tonight and entered his name in the search engine and learned that he had died. Leonard was a dear friend when we both attended the University of Illinois. I am so sorry to h ..

So, can we assume that Dr. Dr. John was in the right place at the right time? And did Dr. Dr. John say the right thing, with the right line? Inquiring minds want to know. ..

After a couple of undergraduate false starts, I read Ulysses when I spent some time in the Chaco Desert. I've made one false start on Recognitions, but was apparently in the wrong environment. ..

There's a reason that generals' memoirs are used to teach introductory Latin (Julius Caesar) and Greek (Xenophon). The prose is clear, elegant, and accessible, and the content is solid. Grant is obvio ..

I also like the reviewer's remark: "You don't need a Ph.D. to read 'J R,' or a critical concordance; you just need a secluded island somewhere, without cable or satellite TV. You need time." Which ala ..

Evidence of Sherman's writing of this campaign so we can decide for ourselves? But, I agree that Anderson is a bit of a blowhard. ..

In comments, above, Anderson casts aspersions on Sherman's memoir, and I suggest that it was written after the huge success of Grant's. Tonight, I've been looking back at Edmund Wilson's book Patrioti ..
