Secunda Mensa

Auditores!  Hoc in colloquio Lilia nostra nobiscum sermocinatur de Novo Eboraco, de ratto illo clarissimo placentam Neapolitanam trahentem, et de nominibus nostris (si nomina nostra seligere possemus).

Hac in altera parte sermonis de festo hiemali Catherina et Timotheus fabulas narrant de donis in calceis positis: dulciola sive citrea liberis bonis; carbonum vel batata haud recens liberis scelestis.   De pomis siccis (sive passis) in macello quoque colloquuntur et de pane festivo cum pomis variis quem Timotheus parat.

Locis Septentrionalibus mense Decembris, bruma nivalem interiore diem gyro trahit.   Hoc in sermone, Catherina et Timotheus festum hiemale Solstitii Hiemalis tractant et de cibis parandis, arboribus ornandis, et moribus celebrandis garriunt.  Catherina explicat quomodo harundines sacchari coloribus rubro atque candido e gemmis abiei arboris nascuntur; quod Timotheus haud dubitare haesitat.  

Nonne liba Mexicana farta semper te laetificari possunt?  Hoc in colloquio Iris nos coniungat et de cibis ex tortilis factis et holeribus variis fartis garrimus.  Iris nobis male narrat - etiam absit omen! -  autoraedam non bene agere et Catherina explicat modos exploratoricos quibus autoraedas maleficere -si opus umquam vobis esset- facilius possitis et ope ciborum!  Timotheus de libis fartis cum lingua bubula narrat et suam audaciam dubitat.

Hoc in colloquio, Catherina et Timotheus fabulam alio in acroamate auditam tractant et elementa et praecepta cuiusdam scriblitae vel tortae ex coquina Indica parandae describunt; etiam colloquuntur de cibis cenae festi Gratias Agendi qui maxime nos delectant.

In this one, Catherine and Tim chat about a story they heard in another cooking Podcast and describe the ingredients and method for cooking a mango pie.  They also talk about the foods from Thanksgiving that they like best.  

Hac in altera parte colloquii, Timotheus et Catherina de memoriis festi Gratias Agendi prorsus tractant.  Illa optima coqua, Iulia Child, nos quoque visitat et de gallopavonibus coquendis bene monet et docet.  

Ad Festum Americanum - Gratias Agendi - Catherina Timotheusque prospiciunt et de thema fortasse paululum spinosa colloquuntur.  Catherina fabulas de piscibus piscandis et coquendis cum familia atque Timotheus de avibus caedendis et assandis apud patris fundum narrat.     

Catherine and Tim look forward to Thanksgiving and dig into a topic perhaps a bit dicey.  Catherine tells stories about fishing with her family and "bay to table" meals; Tim talks about slaughtering and cooking turkeys and other birds at his father's farm.  

Quin pergamus?  Catherina Timotheusque plerumque garriunt de memoriis suis cum liberi essent et festum Omnium Santorum celebrarent .  

Mense Octobris exeunte, Catherina et Timotheus de festa Omnium Sanctorum colloquuntur.   Speramus vos sanguisugas, semi-mortuos, versipelles, phantasmata, et umbraticulas sermone nostro fructuras esse!   

Suetonius scripsit de Vespasiano imperatore: erat olim seditio in provincia Hadrumenti et secedatores rapa contra Vespasianum iecerunt.  Hoc in colloquio, Catherina et Timotheus non rapa iaciunt sed certe de rapo sermocinentur.   

Praecepta: Puls ex rapo flavo cum carotis et zingibere (mashed rutabaga and carrots with ginger)

Elementa:

methodus:

Carotas et rapa in aqua salinata ferventi coques dum mollia faciantur (plusminus XX minutas.)  Ex aqua removeas et ope machinulae culinariae holera permisceas.  Butyrum et lac vel iogurtum addas et succum e zingibere et salem.  Iterum permisceas.  Gustes et salem vel zingiberem addas.  Optime sapit cum carne gallinacea  vel gallopavone assata. 

Anglice:

Peel 2 carrots and a large rutabaga and cut into 1 inch pieces.  Cook in boiling water until they are soft (about 20 minutes).  Drain the vegetables and pulse them in a food processor until quite smooth.  Add 1 or 2 tbsp butter, a dollop of yogurt or cream or any unsweetened soy, oat, or nut milk.  Grate a 1 inch nugget of ginger and squeeze the juice into the mashed vegetables, process again with the food processor.  Add salt to taste.  Excellent accompaniment with roast chicken or turkey.
