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.

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...

Norsemen Netflix Show Review So Far

Norsemen Netflix Show Review So Far The funniest show I've seen in years I've been watching a show on Netflix called Norsemen, and I swear this is the funniest show I've seen in years! I can't understate how funny this show can really be, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say about 90% of the jokes land. Norsemen starts off in 790 AD, and follows a few Vikings and their slaves. The show goes through their lives and their trials, but it's done with a comedic spin. If you haven't yet, watch the trailer above to get a better idea of the show. I will say this, this show reminds me of Monty Python ! Some of the jokes Norsemen  are gut busting, and will almost have you rolling on the floor laughing. In an age of bad comedies this show is gold.  I just started watching season 2 the other day, and I just want to keep watching. The episodes are about a half hour long each, and it's the perfect time frame to get the story across. I wouldn't c...
