Mark&Max – Marked Up

Mark & Max V

Placenta Stop giggling (or vomiting); this is Classical Latin so the “c”s are all hard (very similar to how the “a” in Ur-an-us is always short). It’s better than I expected. Sort of a giant sized baclava. On to the recipe… The internal layers (tracta) are a spelt and wheat mix. Max says to buyContinue reading “Mark & Max V”

Mark & Max IV

Globi It’s interesting. I don’t know that I’ll make it again, but I’m happy sending it off to crochet group – with toothpicks. All this honey stuff is sticky, which does not go with yarn.

It’s rather difficult to find lamb in January, since they areContinue reading “Mark & Max – II”

Mark & Max – I

I absolutely loathe the ancient six-fingered Babylonian priests that have saddled us with 360 degree circles; dozens, grosses, and myriads; 12-hour time; 60 minute hours;Continue reading “Mark & Max – I”

The Laird got me the Tasting History cookbook for Christmas. I haven’t watched every episode of Tasting History, but I enjoy it and I have made Pumpion Pie. I loved the movie Julie & Julia. The Anti-Chef’s Jamie and Julie series/subset is outstanding. I thought to myself, I thought, why not go through Tasting HistoryContinue reading “Mark & Max”
