Extractions: Home Horses Hay loft "You can keep your litter and your hay and your oats. Long live the thistles of the field, for there you can play the stallion to your hearts content." -Francois Rabelais 1483 -1553 I don't think the horses agree with Francois. They love their hay. It's easy to feed them from the loft in the winter when you can just drop the hay from above into the stall. In the spring and summer we serve them in the pasture.

Sauces are liquid or semi-liquid foods devised to make other foods look, smell, and taste better, and hence be more easily digested and more beneficial. Because of the lack of refrigeration in the early days of cooking, meat, poultry, fish, and seafood didn't last long. Sauces and gravies were used to mask the flavor of tainted foods. 200 A.D
Eponyms Rabelaisian, François Rabelais (14831553), French writer. Rachmanism, Peter (Perec)Rachman (1920-62), Polish-born British landlord http://users.tinyonline.co.uk/gswithenbank/eponyms.htm
Extractions: Eponyms An eponym is a word derived from the name of a real, fictional, mythical or spurious character or person. Most eponyms originate from a person's surname: boycott , for instance, from the Irish landlord Captain Charles Cunningham Boycott; dahlia , from the Swedish botanist Anders Dahl; the sousaphone , from the American bandmaster John Philip Sousa; and volt , from the Italian physicist Count Alessandro Volta. Many eponymous words come from literary, biblical or mythological sources: malapropism , from Mrs Malaprop in Sheridan's The Rivals Dickensian , from the English writer Charles Dickens; as old as Methuselah , from the age of the Old Testament patriarch; and aphrodisiac , from the Greek goddess of love and beauty Aphrodite. There are thousands of eponyms in everyday use in English today and study of them yields a fascinating insight into the rich heritage of the world's most popular language and its development. Here are some more examples of names that have been immortalised in such a way. A B C D ... W X Y Z A Aaron's beard/rod Aaron, brother of Moses

Extractions: Date Prev Date Next ... Thread Index Title: Re: New Lifetime Reading Plan This is a pretty mediocre reading list. For one thing, far too many works by non-Western authors. Yeah, I know it sounds cool, modern, and liberated to include them, but most of them aren't that great. Omar the Tent-Maker (a.k.a. Omar Khayyam) was a third-rate poet until Fitzgerald immortalized him. The Tale of Genji and most of the other "great" oriental novels are boring, and in any case can't be readily understood by anyone without a solid background in Asian culture. So they're really not worth reading. For another thing, I find it incredible that the compilers included no Western works written between 420 (Augustine) and the early 14c (Dante). What about The Song of Roland, the poetry of the troubadours, the fabliaux, and Gottfried von Strassburg's Tristan?
Alcoholic Drinks Of The Middle Ages - Wine Francois Rabelais (French writer 1483 1553) Mead! Melomel! Metheglyn! Drink ofthe ancients. Nectar of the gods! By any name, we are still talking about http://home.sunlitsurf.com/~mshapiro/cwine.html
Extractions: Wine, as we all know, is the fermented juice of the grape. To some, the term may also include the more generic form of fermented juice of any fruit, though the purists among us would certainly beg to differ. Be that as it may, wine, from grape juice or otherwise, has been made and enjoyed throughout the ages. The following quotes, covering a span of about 2000 years will plainly testify to this. (I feel quite certain that the original authors of these lines would in most cases agree that the same could be said about virtually any form of alcoholic beverage): Mead! Melomel! Metheglyn! Drink of the ancients. Nectar of the gods! By any name, we are still talking about the same beverage, or family of beverages; honey wine and its many varia- tions. The ingredients of a true mead are only two honey and water. This mixture, however, is slow to ferment and also slow to age. Honey lacks the acids and tannins which yeast needs to thrive. There are, however, several ways around this problem. A melomel is a fermented beverage from any fruit juice with the addition of honey. By using a fruit juice base instead of water, many of the required nutrients and acids which honey lacks are supplied by the juice. Several fruits were used so often for this purpose within the period of our study that specific names were developed for melomels made from them. Among these drinks are piment , made from grapes, cyser , made from apples, morath , made from mulberries and perry
