I am in the middle of a really interesting book called A History of the World in 6 Glasses by Tom Standage and I came across a rather interesting description of the medicine Aqua Vitae. I always sort of knew that it was alcohol, but this explained the whole scenario quite well and I thought I'd share it with one and all. "Wine was widely used as a medicine, so it seemed only logical that concentrated and purified wine should have even greater healing powers. By the late thirteenth century, as universities and medical schools were flowering throughout Europe, distilled wine was being acclaimed in Latin medical treatises [note - almost all medical texts at that time were i…

I know the name of it doesn't sound all that appetizing, but this is, hands-down, one of the best-tasting meals I've ever eaten. I have yet to find anyone who doesn't LOVE this. It's terribly unhealthy, but SO worth the extra calories and artery-clogging ingredients. Don't try this unless you're prepared to become a tomato pie addict! Now that tomatoes are ripe on the vine, I thought you'd be want some recipes to use up those extra 'maters. We make ten of these at a time and freeze them to eat all winter long. ENJOY! Tomato Pie 1 1/4 cup flour 2 Teaspoons of baking powder 1/4 Teaspoon of crushed basil 1/2 Teaspoon of salt 1/2 Cup of solid shortening (I use butter C…

Someone suggested I start a thread talking about English Katchup and as I was digging through my period cookery books trying to find the earliest possible receipt (that's a recipe to modern cooks) I realized we could play with this a bit more. There are a number of options a Pirate might have. So this should be the first in a series on period condiments & sauces. However, none of them would be the tomato based ketchup we know today. Tomatoes are pretty much absent from period cookery books. But you might be surprised what does show up. Early ketchup was a fish & vinegar based sauce imported from somewhere around Indonesia (exact place of origin seems to be a…

They sure knew how to party in the late 1600s. Admiral Edward Russell's 17th-Century throwdown Think you can drink like a sailor? Maybe you should take a moment to reflect on what that truly means. The record for history's largest cocktail belongs to British Lord Admiral Edward Russell. In 1694, he threw an officer's party that employed a garden's fountain as the punch bowl. The concoction? A mixture that included 250 gallons of brandy, 125 gallons of Malaga wine, 1,400 pounds of sugar, 2,500 lemons, 20 gallons of lime juice, and 5 pounds of nutmeg. A series of bartenders actually paddled around in a small wooden canoe, filling up guests' cups. Not only that, but the…

Okay, I was helping this lady find some soup cookbooks, right (I work in a library), and in the process I came across a food dehydrator cookbook. Since I got one of them food drying thingies, I snatched it for meself, looked thru it...and the result that I have some meat soaking in a marinade, and I'll be drying it tomorrow. What sort of marinade, ye might ask? Well, I followed the recipe more or less exactly, but I doubled the amount of liquid smoke (from 1 tablespoon to 2), left out the salt (to make me physician happy), left out the onion juice (stores don't seem to carry it, and I ain't buyin' a juicer just to squeeze dry and onion)...oh, yes, and I left out the be…

Mama Juana

During my recent trip to the Dominican Republic I was offered a local drink called "Mama Juana". Gave it a try and found it quiet nice. I guess it has origins back with the native Tanio who made a tea from herbs and tree bark. The Europeans introduced the idea of adding rum, red wine and honey. The locals claim this drink is helpful for lovers. I thought it had a taste similar to Port.

I'm doing some research on brewing my own beer. My father used to do it years ago and with the completion of my bar I think it's about time I stock it with my own beer. My eventual goal is to make my own rum but I figured I'd start with something smaller, in this case beer. Try my hand at that and then move onto the liqueurs. So what advice do you have for a first time brewer? Any tips or tricks I should try to make the process smoother and the product better? Thanks for your help Capn Antonio Malasses
