Fairy Tale Ark vs Scaled Down Model ... what about a House that's a Scaled Down Model?

And thus shalt thou make it: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits: the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits
[Genesis 6:15]

So, a roof might be less than 3 m high, what about ... 2.10 ?

That would make the length 21 m. and the width 3 1/2 m.

In fact, longhouses are in Old Norse Scandinavia somewhat similar proportions, but typically broader in relation to the length. One of 29.42 m would have been 8 m broad. It had a middle room of 18 * 8 m, and shorter rooms at both ends of the house. There were sixteen of that exact model, grouped in four squares around the central courtyard of the Viking fortress, the Trelleborg near Slagelse.

Older longhouses in those countries are at Gudme, and archaeological finds are typically 200 to 550 AD, from very much closer to when I think Oden came up to Norse countries. Gudme is also 46.1 km from Odense, which literally means "temple" or "hallow of Oden" ... I wonder if Oden invented the longhouse (he certainly didn't create the world!) with the proportions of the Ark in mind? My suspicion is still, he was a Hebrew apostate. Parts of the Norse myths indicate he was familiar with the Ancient Near East, including but not limited to the Bible. Havamal could easily be partly inspired by the Ecclesiastes. So, why not the first longhouse inspired by the proportions of the Ark?

Not too easy to make a children's toy of, though. If you took half the proportions I suggested, you'd have sth small children could play in, but it would be adequate for a kindergarden rather than just a large family.

10.5 m = 393,7008 inches, so, 19.299 cubits.
19.299 / 300 = 6.433 % of each direction, one in 15~16.

Perhaps a new staple in private Evangelical daycare of the kindergarden type?

Must share (Purification of Water)

If You Get Sea Water

Desalinate it.

Or dilute it.

Desalination is done by evaporating sea water and collecting the vapours as they condense on some surface, for instance a transparent plastic sheet, if you do it under sun light, or a pan if you boil the sea water in a kettle.

Totally salt free water is not too goof either, distilled water can be improved in taste by adding a very small quantity of sea water to it./HGL

A Spread Like Butter, that's Not Margarine?

A) You can buy Bregott.
B) You can make something similar.

Here is how.

• 400 g of butter
• 100 g of a vegetable oil
• salt, if needed

If the vegetable oil is rapeseed oil, I do reccomend adding salt.

Heat the butter gently until liquid, mix with oil (and salt), allow to cool./HGL

What's in a Good Restaurant Sandwich? Why Are they Complicated?

Some people would not from their homes be used to putting lettuce on the sandwich, between the butter and the topping.

But the lettuce has its use. It's not just to be fancy or complicated.

A solid fact : bread is usually porose, lettuce has a hard surface.

Yesterday, I made double sandwiches from Harry's bread, a French brand of sandwich bread. As a topping, I used cucumber salad and goat cheese. For the goat cheese, no problem. But for the cucumber salad, I was partly thankful I had a second bread on top, and partly regretting I had no lettuce below. My fingers got moist.

So, to serve the same recipe in a restaurant, one would:

• put a lettuce leaf below the cucumber salad so it doesn't ooze through the bread
• put spread butter below the leaf, so it stays in place.

If you think the butter is too hard, there are two ways around that:

• dip the knife in boiling water a few seconds before putting it to the butter
• or use Bregott or a similar mixture.*

Even if the topping is not liquid, it can be smeary, like some French goose liver** pâté, and on that occasion, I was happy to have, instead of bread above it, leaves of lettuce above it./HGL

* A Spread Like Butter, that's Not Margarine?

** In fact, it was something even stickier, if you don't have lettuce or bread on the top - mousse de canard.

"Kir léger"

En parties égales, ou à peu près ...

• eau cassis
• Cinsault rosé

À servir frais./HGL

Salade d'un sdf

Les haricots verts, c'est un peu sec, une fois qu'on a égoutté ... huile, beurre fondue, quelque chose serait bienvenu, non?

Les sardines, c'est assez fort en goût ... même avec du pain, c'est juste un peu trop, non?

Ah, mélanger ... les sardines, il y a de l'huile avec. Et les haricots verts, le goût est suffisamment fort pour rivaliser avec les sardines, mais pas du tout âpre (une fois qu'on a de l'huile).

Mais, le problème est, en quoi mélanger?

Bon - j'avais le petit bol en carton que j'avais eu pour un dessert de Hong Kong, à emporter, j'avais lavé les deux bols pour une éventualité comme ça, et il m'en reste un.

Être sans abri ne veut pas dire être sans goût!/HGL

PS - oui, c'était une salade composée très acceptable, sinon je ne serais pas en train de la partager (en recette) ici, non?/HGL
