Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Quote of The Week From Greg Bover

Let us then be up and doing
With a heart for any Fate
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor, and to wait.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow  (1807-1882)

image

Born in Maine when it was still a province of Massachusetts, Longfellow became the best known of the lyric poets of the 19th century. His poems still form a core of the New England experience and include The Wreck of the Hesperus, Paul Revere’s Ride, The Song of Hiawatha and Evangeline. Longfellow taught for many years at Harvard College, and his pursuit of and eventual marriage to Frances Appleton still serves as an example of persistence to literary swains of Cambridge. Her accidental death in 1861 cast a dark pall over the last twenty years of his life. The bridge over the Charles River between Kendall Square and Beacon Hill is named in his honor.

Did You Know? (More Watermelon Love)

That North Shore FOB and proponent of living by the heart, Rebecca Wuenschel, also found a heart in her watermelon?  Rebecca found her’s about two years ago, so it seems she may have been at the beginning stages of the watermelon love movement.  I’m wondering if this is just a North Shore, MA phenomenon, or if others around the country or the world are finding hearts in their watermelons or other fruits and vegetables.  I think this warrants further investigation.  Mankind is not heeding the warnings of severe weather, floods, earthquakes, famines, droughts, tsunamis, etc., so maybe Mother Nature is making one last attempt to communicate with us through our food.  Love.  That is the message.

Did You Know? (Exploding Eggs)

that if you are hardboiling eggs to make deviled eggs for Mug Up and you leave the kitchen to talk to customers and forget about them, when the water has boiled out, they will start exploding loudly and your pan will look like this afterwards?  I think it actually looks pretty cool myself, although I am not looking forward to cleaning it, and we will not be having deviled eggs at tomorrow’s Mug Up.  Sorry Linda Coleman, if you were looking forward to trying my deviled eggs when you come to Mug Up tomorrow – 10:00 am, 77 Rocky Neck.  I bet Sister Felicia would never do something like this!
