Subject: Pssst, LaCroix?!
I found out today at a pre-op appointment, that that for my surgery on the 24th,
I'm going to have to do the same magnesium citrate "clear out the pipes" that I
had to do for my colonoscopy a few years ago.
And it just occurred to me, all LaCroix would have had to do to stop Nick from
ever trying to be mortal again was show him video of a human male of a certain
age prepping for and getting a colonoscopy.
Yes, I really can bring FK into anything. ;-)

Laurie,
<ROFL> I'll be having my 1st colonoscopy within the year. Thanks, as now
I'll have something to think about as they put me under before the
procedure! I'll think of my favorite FK moments.

I thought Laurie was going to say all LaCroix would have to do is give Nick
a very stern look and cleaning out the pipes would no longer be an issue.
LaXative.
Did I just say something Ratpackerish without bringing in Screed OR rats?

**the very first time I saw it. I very nearly turned it off.
I mean who needs another Jenny Jones knock off, right?
I thought it was real and that the local station was broadcasting
something other than FK for some reason.**
This is what I thought too. I always had to tape my eps since I was working
day-shift then and they showed at 0130 on Mondays. I remember turning on my
tape and thinking, "Oh, crap! The VCR screwed up again!"

I, too have gone through ithis a couple of times. Thankfully, that -is- the
worst part of the procedure. Most patients sleep away the rest of the afternoon,
but I'm one of those strange people who metabolize anestetics quickly, they
usually send me home within an hour after the procedure. When I told my GI doc
this, he laughed and said it would never happen, but I was dressed and ready to
go home when he came to check on me 20 minutes after. He just shook his head,
and banned me from going to work that night, even though I felt fine, and sent
me home.

Subject: School project
I know as a group we've helped folks out with school projects here before, and
we might actually have fun with this one and make it very FK connected.
My niece is a sophomore in high school and they are studying the Arthurian legend
at present. Her project is to make up a medieval feast, including recipies,
and actually prepare a dish to share with the class. She lives pretty far out in
the country, so her resources are limited, and I thought maybe we could help her
out. I'm pretty sure we have some SCA folks on board, and maybe some of you have done
similar research for fics. Any help would be appreciated.
I apoligize if Don and/or McLisa might think this is too far OT, but I thought
it might start some discussion as well as help on the project.

I absolved her off line :). There is a medieval feast in A Fate Worse than Death,
when we see Nick and Janette meat for the first time at one. One of Valerie
Meachum Kessler's friend described this as "a really bad beer decision." I doubt
if a school would look favorably on brewing medieval beer <g>, though.
Any Society for Creative Anachronism members out there? I used to belong. There
is also at least one medieval cookbook, I think published by the Metropolitan
Museum. Probably a library could send it by interlibrary loan.

I found the site I used a few times. They've got transcriptions of primary
sources for medieval cookbooks among other things: http://www.pbm.com/~lindahl/food.html
There's the 14th C. Forme of Curry, a medieval English cookbook there.

Delurking for a few moments. I apologise if this doesn't make too much sense but
I'm on my first cup of coffee. :-)
Well, here is Cariadoc's Miscellany it has some good information on medieval
feasting and it has some period recipes in it as well. There is also a link on
that page to more info on food in the middle ages. There are many wonderful
recipes on that site and an article or two on how to adjust the medieval recipes
to modern tastes. Along with other information on the SCA.
http://www.pbm.com/~lindahl/cariadoc/miscellany.html
I'm sure I can find more over this weekend.
The sakanjabin is an excellent recipe and is wonderful during the summer. I make
it all year round.
Hope this helps some,
