From The Anonymous Player:1. If you could put thyme in a bottle, what is the first thing that you'd like to do? Become a herbalist for sure. Always see myself in a medieval robe, prescribing strange medicines to all sorts of folk, like Brother Cadfael, perhaps, but without the monk bit.2. Do eggs really crack or do they merely have a nervous breakdown? Depends on their stress levels. If they're already half baked, it's definitely a breakdown, and if they're scrambled, then there's no hope of recovery. But brown, suntanned eggs in boiling heat, they just crack. 3. Why are you whipping the butter? What did it ever do to you? It asked for it, honest. I'll try anything once if someone asks. Maybe.4. Do your spoons spoon in the drawer? Have you ever noticed? And more importantly, if wooden spoons spoon do they get splinters? Oh they do… I always end up with more spoons than I started with, for sure. The wooden ones never get splinters cos they wear themselves smooth.5. You hear: “Dumpling, my Dumpling, come hither.” The candles are lit, the fondue is dipping, the Godiva is pouring, the scallions are steaming and the music is playing…..but wait, the windows are open. Why did you close them? To keep the romantic atmosphere inside, of course.6. Do you need a recipe to cook or are you a bohemian chef? Show us your reckless and wild side in the kitchen. Don't have one? Here's a recipe I made just for you: You will need a spatula, a whisk, a gallon of Chardonnay, a banana and a rump roast. What is the name of your dish? My reckless dish is Cream of creamed cake with a bit of fruit, with clotted cream, double cream, and crème chantille. And cream.7. After dinner, the dishes are so dirty that the dishwasher refuses to wash them. What did they say to get in hot water? Do I have to wash with *this* shower?8. Is your pot black? Ask the kettle.9. What is the sexiest spice or condiment in your cabinet? What makes it so? Chilli, but don't get it on your fingers before sex. Trust me on this. And don't try to use a wet cloth to get it off cos it makes things worse. 10. How much crock is really in your crock pot? Not much when it's empty… But otherwise, full to capacity… c(r)oquilles st jaques. Yum!

the Nazi regime actively promoted naturopathy and various other “volkish” alternative medicine modalities.
