Interesting. No I hadn't noticed that, but I'm not surprised. Since it's written for housewives, it's probably written BY a housewife. And we all know that they tend to change their mind whenever they feel like it
I noticed that they used quite a lot of nutmeg, though. I knew a lady called Meg once that fit that description extremely well.
Any way: What the he** is a quelquechofe? (I know what the French word means, but what kind of dish is it?)

Written by a bloke, Gervaise Markham apparently.
Quelquechose seems to be just a mish mash. It means 'something;' in French, the recipe seems to list any number of things that can be thrown in.

Or maybe they ran out of letters.
I have no idea if this is true, but I was told Seoul was spelled that way because they ran out of the correct type when printing the first maps, and substituted what they had plenty of.

I wouldn't know. I don't know a sole soul in Seoul!

As far as I know, Microsoft strives to only remove useful stuff that people actually like!

Payments in Batcoins?
... such stuff as dreams are made on

I only know one excentric billionaire who may have a few batcoins somewhere in the pockets of his belt.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.

Ta-rA-ra-ra-rA-ra-ra-ra-raaaaaa Bat-coiiiiin!

POW! BANG!

Seems bitcoin is no longer useful for payments anywhere, it's now only useful only for investments.
They call it the "new [digital] gold" which I say is wrong: you cant make teeth out of bitcoin.
Signature ready for installation. Please Reboot now.

Also I don't see how it can be compared to gold as in investment terms gold tends to hold its value while the value of a bitcoin has been increasing along quite a steep curve.
