Served!

I'm ready to serve, or be served.

How words evolve is fascinating. Web 2.0 brings its own language, and learning some of it has improved my information literacy skills.

I've taste-tested the project recipes and added some extra ingredients. Hope it tastes good!

(Everything is listed in order on the right hand side.)

What's Cooking?

Ingredients added to my blog

1. Video bar While using YouTube to upload a video of a friend describing the historical meal he had recently made, I found videos of medieval music and images and made a playlist which can be screened at the breakfast to add to the atmosphere. Samples are in the bar.
2. Blog list Links to useful related blogs.
3. RSS feeds from useful related blogs.
4. Podcast of an author talking about her book on the history of cake.
   
5. Links to images and more videos The ones from the National Library of France are excellent, with information on food, cooking and meals. Medieval Helpdesk is thrown in for a laugh. The King's Cookbook videos are found on a wiki associated with the International School of Central Switzerland.
6. Widget of the LibraryThing books about medieval food. (They are working on fixing the RSS feed.)
   
7. RSS feed of medieval food books from the British Library (because my local library search feed did not work).((Now this has disappeared! -12/10/11))
   

Missing Ingredients

1. Upload to Flickr (I'm thinking I'll take photos of the ingredients for frumenty.)
