Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I also found it interesting that one of the unwritten but not unintended consequences of this system was to disrupt family and church.

Yes, a lot of it seems similar to things that were tried (and failed) in the French revolution over a century earlier.

That's rather interesting. The thing about rural areas ignoring the rules and going to church on Sundays is entirely accurate. In Madame's village the schoolteachers tried to prevent the children from attending church.

Those two calendars, for April and July are also of interest to me. Whereas the Russian names for the months follow the western calendar, the words to the left of those are in Ukrainian, which are of a different origin. The one for April is Kviten, meaning "flowers" and the one for July is Lipen, meaning "linden", the smell of which is everywhere at the time.

The words to the right of the Russian months are Belorussian, I believe. I can see they're closer to Ukrainian than Russian.

Got something to say?

I often make notes when reading of things that I'd like to come back to later on, perhaps to su...

Hummus recipe:

Proper hummus is served with a drizzle of olive oil, rather than oil being a significant ingredient in its own right. This is what should go in it:

• 1½ cups cooked chickpeas or 1 (15-ounce) canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed*
• 3 tablespoons tahini
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 garlic clove, mashed
• ¼ teaspoon salt, or more to taste
• Approximately 2-4 tablespoons room-temperature water or aquafaba, or more if needed
• Optional garnishes: extra virgin olive oil, sumac or paprika, finely chopped parsley or other herbs, whole chickpeas

This particular recipe from thymeandtoast.com but it’s typical of the Middle Eastern way of making it.
