She had mentioned that the food was terrible. I thought, as well as getting her a small refrigerator, it would be nice to send her some Maryland Crab Cakes as she originally is from Maryland. Over the phone we discussed what we might do and, because the place she use to get food from had closed, we decided to look up on the Internet a few businesses that prepare meals. We found one that looks fantastic and makes Maryland Crab Cakes made with Blue Crab. I will be sending my mother as a present the Crab Cakes this week and, if it passes the taste test for her, I will be looking forward to recommending Artiko-Woman owned. I will let you know…

We may live without conscience and live without heart;
We may live without friends; we may live without books;
But civilized man cannot live without cooks.
He may live without books—what is knowledge but grieving?
He may live without hope—what is hope but deceiving?
He may live without love—what is passion but pining?
But where is the man who can live without dining?

Owen Meredith’s “Lucile.”
