Your comment Jan. 3, 2024, advised us your day-before sweet waffle-making.
A broken title link kept you from a Sweet waffle wizzley at the time.
Might such a catastrophe prevent your ever writing such a wizzley?

Thank you!
It appears that fairy tales at first glance do not necessarily always have socioeconomically rags-to-riches heroines.
For example, Snow White has socioeconomically royal riches as a king's daughter even as she has emotional rags as ...

Merchants were typical middle class. They were not mobility but not poor either. They could even provide good marrieages to poor nobility. But in this case, merchant lost everything, so this story has a structure riches-to-rags-to-riches, just ...

No. There is no biblical tradition of the Ice Age.

The Paranormal
Some online sources describe paranormal as interfacing between two worlds.
Might there be any example or suggestion of paranormal in the Bible?

Thank you for your comment Feb. 14, 2023, in answer to my previous question Feb. 13, 2023!
Nut-based flour such as acorn flour interests me.
Online sources list such nutty ;-D sources as almond-, cashew-, chestnut-, filbert-, hazelnut-, pecan ...

Your last comment intrigues me about "how humans survived the Ice Age."
It made me think of the pre-Flood peoples and the post-Flood survivors.
Some online sources seem to suggest the Ice Age as a second divine worldwide cleansing. Would there ...

The second entry, as 6. Edmund Dulac (1882-1953). under the third subheading, Exotic, describes the exotic headwear of Beast and Beauty.

The scary aspect appeals to me less than the strange aspect.
That strangeness comes out in the Cocteau film. The black-and-white filming emphasizes the categorical goodness of Belle ("Beauty") and the unsettling strangeness of Bête ...
