Ach! We STILL need some more time to get our offline projects off the ground... So last week, we did seven "recipes" from history, had 'em done ahead of time, and then time-stamped them to ensure a full week's worth of new posts for you!

This week, I'm hearkening to a favourite series of books for a little historical fair... The Book of Lists... and share some of the more "interesting" samples of historical tidbits from various books in that series...

#3: Because they believe big is best... This goes for bellies and for beer.

#2: To avoid sex.

#1: As children, their mothers use them as guinea pigs for their cooking.

PLEASE NOTE: This is only a SAMPLING from the original list... to full entry is in the book and well worth the read!
