Haven't Been Feeling Well, Decided To Make Posca!

So, you may not have heard about Posca, but it actually used to be a very popular drink! It used to be popular among the Plebs of Ancient Rome, and it's actually pretty good. 



In all honesty it's a simple recipe. You barley need any ingredients, and chances are you probably have all that you need. I'll be giving you my recipe for the drink but adjust it to you tastes as needed, and you may need to. 


For this recipe you will need:
  • Red Wine Vinegar
  • Honey
  • Water
  • Spoon
  • Glass
Pretty straight forward right? Okay, now on to making the damn thing! Pour 2 teaspoons of Red Wine Vinegar in your glass, then 1 teaspoon of honey. Fill your glass with water, then stir well with spoon until honey has dissolved, or nearly dissolved. Enjoy!
See, wasn't that an easy recipe? Since I'm not a nutritionist/doctor I can't speak to the health effects of this drink. 
I don't usually talk much about history on this blog, but in my spare time I'm a huge history buff. If you enjoy learning about the Romans, I found this simple drink as a cool way to connect with the ancients. 

 Like I said above, you may need to play around with the measurements to get something to your taste. Actually the original recipe was just the Vinegar and water, honey was added as a sweetener sometimes, and I think it's way better with honey.
If you made it, then tell me what you thought of it. Was it good? Bad? Or are you going to change it up? I'm interested to hear your thoughts, and I hope you enjoy the drink!

    According to the Bible, posca was the last thing Christ ever drank, while on the cross.

    Actually, vinegar-based beverages remained fairly common up through the 1800's. Americans used to drink stuff called switchel, which was basically posca flavored with ginger or maple syrup. Lemonade has largely supplanted these drinks.

    I've experimented with a lot of different varieties, and my favorite is a mix of seltzer and balsamic vinegar.

      Interesting! I've heard of switchel before. It's kinda cool how these drinks have evolved over time.

Uncharted Movie Review

Uncharted Movie Review Not As Good As The Games I went and saw the movie Uncharted a while ago, and it was as I expected it to be. If you are a fan of the games, well... prepare for disappointment. Uncharted follows Nathan Drake (Tom Holland), a low level thief as he is recruited by Victor Sullivan (Mark Wahlberg) to go on a treasure hunt. As someone who has played some of the games, but not all, I have to say that the Uncharted film is what I thought it would be. A mishmash of all four games but not committing to any of them. The acting is a bit stale, and the plot is predictable. The camera work was fine, but the music was underused. Tom Holland should not have been Nathan Drake. He lacks the charisma, the attitude, and the charm. He may have passed for a teenage Nathan Drake, but he should have only been in a few scenes. I'm not the biggest fan of Tom Holland either long time readers may know. Now, onto Mark Wahlberg as Victor Sullivan. Mark Wahlberg is way too young to be playi...

Dora and the Lost City of Gold Movie Review

Dora and the Lost City of Gold Movie Review This Was My Dad's Idea Well... I went and saw Dora and the Lost City of Gold today with my dad, and... the film was a lot funnier than it has any right to be. Dora and the Lost City of Gold is a live action adaptation of the Dora tv show on Nickelodeon. Dora, now a teenager, is sent to the City to live with her cousin, Diego, while her parents go exploring for a lost City. When her parents go missing, Dora and her new friends go and search for her parents. I can't believe I'm going to say this, but the movie wasn't half bad. There is a ton of tongue and cheek humor. There is some cringe to the Dora and the Lost City of Gold too, but remember, this is a movie made for kids. As a kids film, it does a fine job. The acting was fine, and for a kids film, everyone did alright. Isabela Moner, who played Dora, did a good job portraying the character from what I remember about the show when I was very young. What surprised...

Penny Dreadful City Of Angels Season 1 Episode 1 Review

Penny Dreadful City Of Angels Season 1 Episode 1 Review  Had To Think About This One A Bit If you haven't noticed, I'm a fan of Penny Dreadful . I did address my early thoughts on the new series a little while ago , and now that it's out, I thought I would give my thoughts on the first episode. For the description I'm going to quote IMDB , " Los Angeles, 1938. LAPD detective Tiago Vega and his partner, Lewis Michener, investigate a murder. While at City Hall, Tiago's activist brother Raul Vega battles with the fiery Councilman Charlton Townsend over the construction of California's first freeway. Meanwhile, Peter Craft, the head of the German-American Bun, meets Elsa, the mysterious mother of one of his patients. Sensing danger, Tiago's mother Maria pleads with Santa Muerte to protect her family as the rising tensions in the city threaten to explode." From what I've seen from other reviewers has been very mixed. And here's my two...
