Manna, from Sicily, not from Heaven
Cous-cous is fine textured. There is a clue here. Maybe we have a folk memory of the way in which manna was ground down and used. In fact, a cous-cous texture makes more sense, as it is easier to handle than anything with hoar frost texture.

Manna, from Sicily, not from Heaven
I used the biblical quote merely because when I mention manna people always ask me if it's connected. It can be used in so many ways, it's liquified for some dishes, ground down so that it has a cous-cous like texture for certain dishes, and ...

American Leopard Horses, Part 2
The Altai link is very interesting, but I suggest that the ancestors of the Amerindians did not migrate in one expedition, but filtered across over generations.

Manna, from Sicily, not from Heaven
This is a wonderful article, very informative. However, Exodus chapter 16 verse 14 says that manna was fine and granular, as fine as hoarfrost. This account was written five -seven hundred years after Moses, so it is not first hand, and the ...

Most people want to visit London which is just a city but the best of England is further North. My husband had never been North until he came to college here after London University 40 years ...

Learn About Owls
I have seen only a small number of owls. My best sighting was when I exited my house one evening and a barn owl swooped past me. Roughly the same time there was the hooting of a long eared owl, though I saw it not. One good sighting was early ...

The Philosopher and the Gospels: a review
Yes, that's purgatory, though I suppose that the difference is that hell is at least theoretically permanent where purgatory is not. I think that the problem is that Jesus gave few details on the next life, and we have had to speculate on how ...

American Leopard Horses, Part 2
This is a great read. I hadn't heard of the small region of Altai, home of the Altai horse, until very recently. By some very strange coincidence genetic testing of the skeleton of a Native ...

The Philosopher and the Gospels: a review
The concept that the Bible is not a literal piece is consistent with what I have learned as a Catholic. As for a temporary hell, is that not what Purgatory was supposed to be like, but is not spoken of much any longer? I suppose the difference ...

Gun Laws in The United Kingdom
