1+ hour, 40+ min ago (921+ words) For years it's been predicted that the market for male "support garments' will take off " but it hasn't quite happened. Now M&S is trying again I am trying, for the first time, to put on an item of shapewear for men " an ordinary-looking, highly elasticated long-sleeved workout top that will, I hope, give me the instant slim profile of someone who goes to the gym regularly, instead of not since the pandemic started. Eventually, after a few breathtaking contortions, I find myself dressed and, shall we say, gathered. On forums where men discuss ways to reduce your silhouette through the application of shapewear, people often suggest buying this sort of top, only one size too small. If I had done that I'd still be lying on the bedroom floor with it stuck halfway over my head. Male shapewear has…...

It's hard to get a precise temperature in an oven heated by wood or coal, so the recipes would simply say, "a quick oven." Undaunted, we tried baking some kiss cakes from 1885. The result didn't have the pizazz of cookies with multicolored sprinkles and frosting, and they weren't nearly as sweet as the cookies we eat today. But they were cute.
