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

Coda Movie Review

Coda Movie Review This Deserved Best Picture So, I just got back from seeing Coda, and it was amazing! This was the second attempt to see this film as the first time, someone booked the entire theater for a private screening. I'm going to take from a summary from IMDB to summarize the plot: " As a CODA (Child of Deaf Adults) Ruby is the only hearing person in her deaf family. When the family's fishing business is threatened, Ruby finds herself torn between pursuing her passion at Berklee College of Music and her fear of abandoning her parents." The acting was  phenomenal, the  cinematography was beautiful, and the story was human. The way this film is crafted is nothing short but excellent. I will not that not everything is 100% accurate, but for narrative reasons, I understand the choices they made. The actors have amazing chemistry together. Everything feels natural between them and they all bring their characters to life. No performance fell flat. I perhaps would

The Batman Movie Review

The Batman Movie Review A Solid Noir Film I went and saw The Batman the other day with one of my buddies and I must say, we really enjoyed it. Granted I don't think this movie is for everyone. The Batman follows Batman (Robert Pattinson) during his second year of crime fighting. When the mayor of Gotham is killed by The Riddler (Paul Dano), it is up to Batman with the help of James Gordon (Jeffery Wright), and Selina Kyle (Zoë Kravitz) to stop him. From a visual point of view, The Batman is gorgeous. Every frame is a painting. The acting is solid, the plot is solid. The musical score is outstanding. I personally loved the film, but there are some things in it that could off-set some Batman fans. I typically get into the acting first, but like you've probably already heard many reviewers say before, the city is a character in this film. Gotham feels real, grounded, and certainly not a place you'd want to visit. Corruption and crime run rampant at every level of society. The
