WHO'S MR. MICAWBER, AND WHAT'S HIS RECIPE?

In short: live within your means.

WHO AM I?

My photo
Mrs. Micawber
Crochet pattern designer, hobby cyclist, and wildflower lover. Confirmed Anglophile. Captain of the local Grammar Police, but wanted by the Fashion Police for crimes against the state. Least likely to win a Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval for diligence in housework. Secret fantasy: to discover a gluten free flour that tastes and behaves like wheat flour. Failing that, to live in England for a year. Happily married for (pauses to count on fingers) nearly thirty-eight years.
