Making a cordial is actually quite easy; take a distilled liquor, add flavors, add sweetener, add time. Then you are done. But even this easy task can lead to bad results. What follows is part how-to and part my journey in making cordials.

The Whey of the Curds– a history of cheese in Western Society in period.

Legend has it that cheese was discovered by a travelling nomad. The nomad kept a quantity of milk in a skin (probably a stomach). As a result of his bumpy ride and hot conditions, the milk had turned into curds.
It is a nice legend but a problematic one. Why would a nomadic adult be carrying milk and where did he get it?
