Listen Later

Mike and Alexandra discuss:

  • How to make your own simple syrup

  • The translation of the Bible into Latin from Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek

  • St. Jerome’s struggle to learn Hebrew

  • The different forms of the Latin translation over the centuries

  • Jerome’s feuds with Origen, St. Ambrose, and St. Augustine

    • Drink of the Week: Whiskey Sour

    2 oz. whiskey, usually rye or bourbon

    2 tsp simple syrup or ½ tsp. powdered sugar

    1 oz. lemon juice

    lemon and cherry

    Put sugar and all liquid ingredients into a shaker filled with ice and shake forty times. Strain into a sour glass and garnish with a slice or wedge of lemon and a cherry. Don’t be afraid to let a dash of cherry juice slip in too, if you want, and feel free to use a cocktail glass if you don’t have a sour.
