Subject: Searching for a story

IIRC, it was a bit uffish in nature and involved
LaCroix beating the crap out of Nick and leaving him
drained on the floor of the loft.  It had a sequel,
too, but I can't remember where to find it or
anything.  :P Yet another consequence of getting a new
computer and losing bookmarks...

Thanks!

I think the story you're looking for is called 'Do Not Go Gentle' and the
sequel is 'Rage, Rage Against The Dying Of The Light'. If anyone wants them,
email me offlist.

Think LaCroix liked a sauce made of fermented fish entrails?

Calling the Perks and the Ratpackers!

I'm reading the latest installment of a long Buffy
fanfic and the latest demonic threat is...pink fluffy
hopping demonic mice that smell like cotton candy.
I'm thinking they'd fit right in in a war post.  I can
just see LaCroix' eyebrow.

Absolutely! "Garum" was the ketchup of Rome---they put it on
everything. I remember reading somewhere that soldiers in the far
provinces complained when they ran out of the stuff.

Interesting to see that there's a recipe for a peach dish! So much for
all those discussions we had about how Lacroix would never have tasted
a peach, so where'd he get that final speech!

'Garum' or fish sauce was the salt of the Roman kitchen (white salt as
we know it was imposibly expensive) and it really doesn't taste as bad
as it sounds, it is mostly salty. I used to be a part of a Roman
reenactment group and we often cooked a la Pompeii (today you use Asian
fish sauce, but the purists among them still insist on making real garum
for their dishes - it takes weeks).

Romans loved peaches! 'Malum persicum' or Persian apple, as they called it, was
a favorite and used in a variety of desserts.
The ordinary Roman citizen probably couldn't afford it but it certainly wasn't
unknown in the first century AD. And in Pompeii, with the climate, they very
likely grew their own peach trees. What they did know but not particularly care
about was, believe it or not, the orange or any kind of citrus fruit.

I'm looking forward to it, too. Perhaps we meet a general whose first name is
Lucius... ;-)

Judging by Lindsey Davis's Falco mysteries (Roman private eye, more or less),
it seems to have been the Roman equivalent of chatchup as an all-purpose sauce.
I can imagine Divia and her mother having an argument, in Divia's pre-vampire
days, over how much of the stuff Divia puts on things.
