At long last, another recipe post. It's about #gingerbread, corruption, and why if your diplomatic shtick is winning wars, losing one is dangerous.

Any resemblance to current events is all in your head.

Something for #europeday...

Europe's Revels, a dance by John Eccles, from his interlude, Europe's Revels for the Peace, which was performed at court and at London theatres in 1697.
This image of the dance comes from The Dancing Master, Henry Playford, 1698

Apparently it is #NationalStrawberryDay today.
This seems like the wrong time of year (and I wonder if #turnips might not be more appropriate at the moment), but I'll jump on the bandwagon with a #video of Strawberries and Cream (or Ginnie Pug) from Playford's Dancing Master, 1670.
