CIRCLE WITH A DOT

dude, if I make a date and honey melomel...

@london

A dry white wine with a chocolatey finish, It's hard to describe. But it's very good. It has a citrus back note/ aroma after sipping. Like a cadbury chocolate orange. But the top note and general profile is like a dry white, partway between chardonnay and Riesling.

@fiore

that's the sweet one^^

This is my favorite one that is savory, turns out this is from a Roman cookbook I don't have in my posession.

Moratum:

in a mortar, grind sesame, garlic, olive oil, onion, chickpeas... add garum, vinegar, salt, and parsley, cumin, herbs according to your preference.

(this is basically 2000 years old hummus. Mutabal eggplant paste is also a type of moratum)

@fiore

Aliter Dulcia

tear fine wheat bread into chunks, soak it in milk, press out the excess lightly, fry it in olive oil until golden, drizzle with honey and black pepper or pipali (Romans would have used pipali, but black pepper will work)

@fiore

I could get up and thumb through the book, or I could just recall the recipe I like from memory. You want sweet or savory?

@fiore

You want a recipe from De re Coquinaria by Apicius?

@fiore

Your English is too good.

@fiore

The type of house is called a Domus, it's the root word for domestic, dominion, domicile.. and the classical latin word for wife is domina, which is the root for dominatrix, and when translated means "house woman".

@fiore

It's a house courtyard. The house itself is older than Christianity.

@fiore

200+ years older than all the other churches in the lineup.

@fiore San Clemente Monastery, the 1st century House-Church turned monastery in the 16th century.

@fiore

try to guess the oldest church in this group

@fiore Only 1 of these buildings is in Italy.

Ancient Roman Architecture is exemplified by round arches and domes, collonades, porticoes, etc...

Reminder for myself to be like my favorite Saint.
