ironymaidenwhat are you currently consuming?
Edwardian Farm, where they've just made buttermilk biscuits and act like that's some weird local Devonshire thing. one of the things i find remarkable is the extent of international trade - they mention that no one is growing wheat anymore because wheat from the US is so cheap, and that folks are eating more lamb and mutton because of imports of cheap frozen meat from AUSTRALIA and NEW ZEALAND. okay, the Suez Canal had been operating for ~50 years at that point, but isn't it wild to think that people who didn't have a toilet in their house were eating meat from the other side of the world that cost less than the local stuff?
we're stalled in season 4 of Babylon 5 because it is challenging and farm show is not.
what did you recently finish?
Secrets of the Castle, like the farm shows but with more stone cutting and français.
what will you consume next?
i'm addicted to the historic farm shows and their spin-offs, so i expect we'll be on to Wartime Farm or maybe take a detour to Victorian Pharmacy.
i also need to watch a lot of trailers because online-only SIFF is starting April 8.
