Between Two Nerdy History Girls and Isis' Wardrobe/Toilette and American Duchess, this week has been a fascinating ride indeed. Check out the girls' post on macaroni, circa 1774 (or not - read the discussion in the comments section for details on the date/cookbook noted), and how to knit a king's stockings.
For all that I sometimes lament the ephemerality of experience and, yes, even knowledge (I'm a thoughtkiller, remember) - sometimes, the availability of fascinating studies in those areas of history old folks such as myself didn't get in history books limited by the old paper-and-binding technology and a less-diverse society and dynamism can still be exciting.
