You had to realize that I was going to ask; what the heck is a nekkid sigette and your not tagging it are you? Another question you got any horses on the ranch?CygnusX1 wrote:ME...In my spare time, I prefer to play guitar, listen to loud rock music and chase a nekkid Sigette around the ranch...But not necessarily in that order : headbang:

It's quite alright....Lemme explain... nekkid: a redneck term for NAKED...Sigette is my darlin' bride of 26 years (my friends here call me "siggy", and you can too)...as far as the "Ranch" goes, I have a house my family helped me build on 8 acres, 10 chickens, 2 roosters, a garden and a crazy groung hog....no horses yet, but the farm across the road from me boards pedigreed race horses...
Don't start none...won't be none.
I've heard about it but to be honest I've not paid any attention to it....if I did I would just worry....infact I'm just about to eat chicken nowMe wrote: Shu what do you think about the swan with the h5 virus just found yesterday?

That was funny about the ranch dressing.
Cool about the 8 acres Siggy. I had 10 in TX and 5 in Kentucky (had an assortment of yard birds) now just one in PA and my home takes up about a 3rd of that and always garden something I enjoy. Anyway did catch Nekid Sigette?

Recipe for a Happy Marriage
Take two happy people - one male, one female - and separate them from their parents. Add the following ingredients in generous proportions:
Love
Respect
Commitment
Acceptance
Communication
Patience
Kindness
Gentleness
Self-control
Hope
Truth
Mix together, then thoroughly sift in daily life. Strain out jealousy, arrogance, selfishness, provocation and accounting of wrongs. Bake in the trials and tribulations of life for 50 years, then celebrate when golden.

Breton Marriage Soup
(France)
________________________________________
A great story from Pierre-Jakez Helias in The Horse of Pride: Life in a Breton Village.
"Custom still required that the newlyweds not be left to themselves until the evening of the third day. The first night was dedicated to the Virgin; the second, to Saint Joseph. And then came the "milk soup" ceremony, which was both symbolic and rather spicy. The recipe for that soup varied from one region to another and depended on the young people's imaginations, but it always included a string of garlic cloves. The milk in the soup proclaimed that the couple's life together would be pleasant; the garlic warned them to expect many disappointments. The younger guests would generally bring it to husband and wife at the banquet table, heartily singing the song of their ancestors--a sad ballad that was meant to make any bride of good stock weep with one eye and laugh with the other. Then the bombardists (players of a 1-octave oboe) and bagpipers would strike up another milk-soup tune that was livelier and well known for its tendency to 'dry away the tears,' prompting all the people at the tables to loudly rejoice."
I found the following recipe in the town of Guimiliau, also in Helias' Finisterre--actually it was for sale as a book about Breton cooking in the Ossuary, or former bone house, of Guimiliau's parish close. Maybe a sad statement about the preemption of old holy places for tourism--yet a think piece about food and the beginnings of wedded life being served up in the place where food and life end physically...while they continue to feed the spiritual life of the village. Serve hot to 2 after a wedding--or to 4 for a snack or warming lunch. It's a good, filling, and spicy meal.

Hey, Me! I love those ?recipes? for good marriage. And congrats to all celebrating.
Actually that ?wedding soup? sounds really good! Well, anything with garlic in it I HAFTA try!
The thought of the recipe coming from the Ossuary IS a bit creepy but I remember my brothers and father visiting the Ossuaries near Normandy (my Dad was in WWII and they went for the 50th Anniversary of the invasion). It did sort of seem like a sacrilege as tourists to be among the piles of bones (the pictures were haunting) but it also ?brought home? the sacrifice and tragedy of the war so I believe, like you with your recipe, it is a GOOD thing.
This isn?t really a ?recipe? but is food-related and wedding-related. It involves Mead from Ireland. They serve mead at those cheesy, touristy Medieval banquets in County Clare but one can buy it in bottles the shop downstairs (I do whenever I go visit) and it is quite tasty. Anyway, mead is given to the newlyweds for luck and (of course) fertility. They are to drink some mead every night for a month of their new marriage. Mead is made from honey?thus the term Honeymoon!
