Thought you guys might get a laugh out of this. It was sent to me by a friend in England. If you had purchased $1000 of shares in Lehman Brothers one year ago, you will have $0.00 today. But---- if you had purchased $1000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the aluminum cans for recycling refund, you will have received $214.00. Based on the above, the best current investment plan is to drink heavily and recycle. It's called the 401-Keg.

Pease Pottage was one of the most common dishes eaten at sea in the 1600s, using the shipboard staples of dried peas and salted meat. This simple dish, with perhaps a few herbs added was also frequently eaten by landsmen in the winter and spring. Many generations of New Englanders have grown up this dish by its modern name -- pea soup. Another Recipe for Pease Pottage: Take the best old pease you can get, wash and boil them in fair water, when they boil scum them, and put in a piece of interlarded bacon about two pound, put in also a bundle of mince, or other sweet herbs; boil them not too thick, serve the bacon on sippets in thin slices, and pour on the broth.

This is a delicious recipe for pumpkin, known as "pompions" to English people in the 17th century (as were all squash.) It is one of the earliest written recipes from New England, from a book written by John Josselyn, a traveler to New England in the 1600's. (John Josselyn, Two Voyages to New England.) John Josselyn called this recipe a “standing dish” suggesting that this sort of pumpkin dish was eaten everyday or even at every meal. He called it “ancient” because English housewives had cooked this recipe in New England for a long time. Josselyn also says at the end of this recipe that this food provokes urine and causes gas (windy)! The Ancient New England standing di…

I'm laying into stock a variety of recipes that involve cooking with rum...generally, a dark rum. But in your considered opinion, would gold serve as well? What would consitute a good cooking rum. Keep in mind the fact that, being a lowly librarian in Reale Lyfe, I'm looking to combine my cooking rum and drinking rum in one label.

And so ye may know what I'm planning on feeding to meself, here's a link to one recipe... http://www.grouprecipes.com…

We started a batch of honey mead a couple of months ago following this recipe for simple mead. I would highly reccommend it to anyone interested in trying something like it. We sampled it immediately after it started fermenting, and were not horribly impressed (but the recipe warned that would be the case). Now, about two months later -- I really shoulda kept better track -- it's some right tasty stuff. Personally, I'd put it up against any other mead available on the market. We have two additional batches going (one with cinnamon and one with strawberries) that have finished fermenting, but not clarified well just yet. We should be well-stocked for TRF, methinks.…
