One research seems to think so. One of the plants, Harmal, found in the desert, has been long revered by Jewish people as a curing plant that is also a hallucinogen. The brew can cause hallucinogen of light and is accompanied by...

JennyLeah I meant 40 years - which is why I repeated it further into the paragraph. Heaven forbid I typo... My point still stands, though. Firstly, what evidence do you have to prove that it would take only 10 days to cross the desert on foot? Secondly, you neglect...

JennyLeah To be fair, there is ample explanation in the story as to why it took 40 days. Bear in mind, either through faith or if you read it as fiction through the suspension of disbelief, that they were on foot. It may take ten days to cross the entire desert today it...

This probably sounds like a really strange question, but what are some of your favorite memories of food? Not just the dish, but everything that went with it.. the company, the smell of it cooking, the feeling you had sitting...

JennyLeah Nothing is ever better than a homemade, from scratch, confection, baked with love and the attention to detail that only Grandmother's can afford. My maternal grandmother made some of the best pies and cookies in the world (pies were her specialty, and...

JennyLeah That's awesome. Both sets of my grandparents lived out of state (in different states) from us when I was growing up, so I saw them only once a year. My dad's parents lived in New York and came to visit for the winter holidays (we're Jewish, but celebrated...

My partner and I have a cat, Forte, who is generally, a very good cat. His litter box, on the other hand, stinks. Some background - we use a Clever Cat top-entry box. Love it. Will never use another litter box so long as I...

JennyLeah My mother-in-law attempted to train one of her dogs to use a litter box - even bought one of the over priced boxes and a huge bag of dog litter to do it, but it didn't work out. He was a stubborn doggie, Paco was. He preferred the carpet in the dining room to...

JennyLeah Corner stores like the ones you described don't exist quite the way they used to. It's sad, isn't it? They always smelled yummy and the food was so much fresher. I guess they just can't compare in terms of turnover as the larger grocery chains these days,...

JennyLeah LOL! That's an awesome story, dreamy1! I remember that happening more than once when I was a kid too. In fact, when I'm home with my parents, it still happens today! My mom knows that if she's going to make egg salad if I'm around, to throw an extra egg in the...

I had never tried to cook anything with wine until about 12 years ago. I watch a lot of cooking shows on TV, and most of them contain at least one recipe that uses wine. I decided to do some experimenting with wine cookery, and...

JennyLeah The taste of a food, let alone a complete dish, is made up of so many different flavor compounds that are released in the cooking process. Some are water soluble, which means that if you cook them in water, the water will taste like those, some are fat...

Am I the only one that gets very upset when a person of one religion calls another a cult.I was watching a show on ancient Rome and the "expert" called the religions Rome followed before Christianity a cult. I found that very...

JennyLeah That's certainly an admirable belief, but then it's also a fairly harmful one. I disagree, though, that any religion can be labeled a cult simply because it's doctrines vary from an individual's belief system. Truth is, cults as we know and define them,...

I for one, thought that as the final book in an outstanding series, Deathly Hallows was a little bit of a let down. Does anyone else share this feeling with me?

JennyLeah I think, technically, there's a loophole in that Harry wasn't really dead. It was more like he had a "near-death experience." (Actually, the setting of Kings Cross reminded my very much of my mother-in-law's own near death experience, because she viewed it as...
