I'm still here. It's getting close to the dinner I'll have to look and see if there is any olden times stuff

Hey, @WildMermaid

<---- Also married a comic book artist. I know you wrote about posing for superhero(ine) drawings and something about conventions, but I did not put 2 and 2 together. My husband has done some comics and some role playing stuff, character design and stuff. We used to spend lots and lots and lots of time at the comic conventions, but that's been on hold for a while. We always planned to do a book together, but it has yet to happen. Now he's talking about looking into coloring books.

@ihateusernames that is freaking awesome! Will you be sharing both the writing and drawing together?

 

[ihateusernames]

If we ever do get around to it- I would be writing and he would be illustrating. I paint. I have digitally painted some of his drawings, I guess I could do that, too...

Are you in SCA?

no, that's not big where I live. Otherwise we would love to be.

Have you tried Dystopia Rising?

No, but friends and us like pen and paper RPGs - my favourite is the 7th sea.

My favourite bit was an article I discovered on how the invention of porridge changed the world. Geeky enough?:geek:

Oh yes, would love to hear more about your findings.

It's getting close to the dinner

We had a roman themed dinner party once. We called it a toga dinner though I heard the americans use the name "toga party" to talk about an orgy. So most disappointingly we did not have an orgy ;)

I sometimes do like to incorporate "old fashioned food" - like historical recipes - into our dinner. Were I am from there is a cooking site which has lot of historic, mostly middle ages recipes. Want to share some?

I am sort of anxious to share to much here because I don't want to endager our anonymity... have to edit myself *lol*.

I do some medieval and renaissance cooking as well! Do you have yours up on a website or a Pinterest board? https://www.pinterest.com/ms_rebecca/scadian-life-cookery/ I have a little more here... https://www.pinterest.com/ms_rebecca/scadian-life-viking/ as we went to one event as Vikings. The apron dresses got caught in my wheelchair though, so we're back to French/Italian early 16th century.

I would love to know about your cooking and costuming if you decide to share! :)

I love Italian I'm 1/4 italian and I think it comes out in my taste buds. I enjoy every kind of italian food that I have tried thus far.

I loved dressing up in Midevil dresses and going to the Reniasance Fairs. My husband and I enjoyed this very much.

I have no website and have not published anything on pinterest so far. Not sure how to do this.

Roman cooking is different from italian cooking because they did not have many of today's ingradients such as tomatoes or potatoes. Instead they had ingradients we do not use today such as a salty and spicy fish sauce called Liquamen, which they used instead of salt.
There was a roman guy called Marcus Cavius Apicius, who wrote a cookbook called "De re coquinaria" (Latin: About the cooking thing) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apicius
From that book many of the roman recipes have been preserved and can be cooked today. One can find them with Google.
