Everything sounded fun then I heard "pickled herring" and threw up a little in my mouth.

You got a new Special Gumbo recipe now? 
(btw. instead of using vinegar you can use raw soured milk and salt and leave it fermenting at a warm place for 20+ hours - after that drop into fridge)

Re: Glad Midsommar!
we do, no one practices them unless they live on the reservations. also a lot of things like this are regional. a town near where I live has a strawberry festival every year. on the reservation where I grew up, they had suicide races during the second week of august. ah, suicide races. basically a test of bravery where young native men take a horse and race it down a near sheer hill and into/across the okanogan river below. PETA shits itself every year, and every year more PETA shit heads get thrown out/beat up. brings a tear of joy to my eye.FearTheAmish wrote: I wish we had such cultural traditions in USA.

The low life has lost its appeal
And I'm tired of walking these streets

Re: Glad Midsommar!
A few weeks back I went to a theme park called 'Little World' filled with various mini countries and their foods and such. Best places? A toss up between China and Germany.
Germany was awesome because of, yes, giant ass hay wagons, old style churches, -beer-, cheese on baked potato, and sausages. Was thinking about H&H pretty much the whole time.
China was awesome because of the old style kitchen with a nice brick stove.
Actually, when I think about it, its the 'hearth' part of Haven and Hearth maybe that attracts me most to this game. You start out, and you are naked in the wilderness. One place is much the same as another. And the woodlands just go on and on. Then, slowly, you make your tools, and you shape the land around you. Out of this arises some sense of place, of what is home.
If you visit an old style kitchen and look at the old pots and pans and tools you can see that this if anywhere is where civilization starts. Nobody can read a book on an empty stomach. First you have stability and daily chores. Drawing water. Chopping wood. Lighting the fire. Cooking the food. Cleaning the ground. Fulfilling these tasks doesn't just help you sustain your body, but helps you lend order to things around you, to satisfy some element in you that requires things to be in their 'place'. This is the hearth. Its like a kind of foothold or grasphold on making a 'world'.
