Have you ever wanted to try a recipe because it's like thousands of years old? Finally making kykeon. Homer describes it as containing barley, water, honey, herbs and goat cheese. For herbs I am using thyme which is traditional and the goat cheese is getting subbed out with kefir starter. The taste should be unique to put it mildly but catch I think is that it would have been cultured from yeast and/or bacteria in the goat cheese. I am almost certain the Greeks didn't have refrigerators or pasteurization.
Memorial Day has been a whirlwind of brief visits and a day spent pool side.
This month, however, Dad had four bypasses, mitrovalve repair and a pacemaker installed. His owner manual is now officially more extensive than his car's. It was touch and go and back and forth for the first week but he improved. Every worst case scenario the doctor prepared us for failed to materialized. It will not be a Spring any of us will forget soon.
Some of my aunts and an uncle were amazed that their children knew about all of this before they did. It's called Facebook.
