Thank you,
Sweetie-Pies!
But Paul and I did both improve, and up we went (pictures to follow later)! Of
course, it's entirely possible that getting "well" was a special gift
granted for this brief interval, and upon our return we'll be right back
where we were, as this has happened many times before, but I appreciate
it, nonetheless!

From http://news.yahoo.com/early-jamestown-colonists-were-cannibals-apparently-104200354.html - 05/02/13:
Early Jamestown colonists were cannibals, apparentlyBy Lauren Hansen | The Week – Thu, May 2, 2013 |
||
 |
The mangled remains of a 14-year-old girl shed some light on the less
savory elements of America's roots. The first English settlements in the so-called New World were far from glamorous. Indeed, early settlers in Jamestown, Va., were often starving, and forced to eat dogs, mice, and shoe leather to survive devastating winters. A few written accounts take things one gruesome step farther and suggest that some colonists even ate their own dead. Those cannibal rumors, it turns out, are true. A group of archeologists have found proof of our ancestors' stomach-turning eating habits, in the form of a mangled skull that is "absolutely consistent with dismemberment and de-fleshing." In August 2012, a
group of archaeologists digging around a debris-filled cellar on
Jamestown Island — a 22.5-acre peninsula just north of the mouth of the
Chesapeake Bay — came across the remains of a 14-year-old girl. They
also found horse, dog, and squirrel bones, but the real find was the
girl's skull, lower jaw, and leg bone — all of which have the distinct
marks of an ax or a cleaver. ... Scientists say (her) skull provides definitive evidence that colonists were haphazardly trying to remove the facial tissue and brain for consumption. In the 17th century, such flesh from an animal, say, a hog, for example, was actually considered a delicacy, which is why these desperate settlers might have gone straight for the girl's head. And before you get too woozy: Yes, the girl was dead before they started hacking into her skull. The markings indicate there was no struggle. However, the feast likely went down soon after she died. "The attempt to [remove] the brain is something you would need to do very quickly because brains do not preserve well," says Dr. Doug Owsley, a forensic anthropologist involved with the dig. |
|
| Doug Owsley, division head for Physical Anthropology at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History, displays the skull of "Jane of Jamestown" during a news conference at the museum in Washington, Wednesday, May 1, 2013. Scientists announced during the news conference that they have found the first solid archaeological evidence that some of the earliest American colonists at Jamestown, Va., survived harsh conditions by turning to cannibalism presenting the discovery of the bones of a 14-year-old girl, "Jane" that show clear signs that she was cannibalized. | ||

So, what could have happened to this poor girl? Let's investigate: In 1607, a ragtag group of English adventurers set out to create the first colony in the so-called New World. The explorers landed on Jamestown Island on May 14, establishing the Virginia English colony. The swampy land
was filled with disease-ridden mosquitoes, and the settlers didn't have
much time to plant ahead of the winter. The newbies were also under
constant siege by Native Americans, who had colonized this land long
before, and were none too pleased about their new invasive neighbors. Unfortunately,
the new arrivals were more of a hassle then a help. The ships' crews
hoarded what food they brought. Jamestown was already suffering from the
worst drought in 800 years, and the meager crops the colony managed to
grow over the summer were hardly enough to feed the township that was
now up to about 300 people. Studying the fragments
of Jane's skull, researchers found an enriched "nitrogen profile,"
evidence that the girl was at least at one time well nourished, with a
diet rich in protein. This suggests that she came from a relatively high
class, and that she thus didn't make the trip alone. But with no fresh
meat or produce, Jane and her fellow settlers were forced to eat their
horses, dogs, cats, rats, and snakes. Some would have even gnawed on the
soles of their shoes to satiate the endless hunger. We may never know how many colonists were eaten as the wretched weeks turned to months. But now, thanks to the discovery of Jane, scientists know for certain that it did happen. After six months of starvation, only 60 colonists survived. Defeated, the meager pack abandoned Jamestown and headed down the James River, intent on returning to England. But relief, leadership, and the seed of our future nation arrived in the form of Lord De La Warr (Yep: Delaware would be his namesake) to stop them. De La Warr, his relief fleet, and 150 new settlers, led the colonists back to the fort where the foundations were laid for a prosperous and cannibal-free future. The remains of "Jane"
as well as her reconstruction will be on display in Jamestown. And with
plenty left to forage at the original site, archaeologists will continue
to investigate Jane's untimely end, as well as her real identity. |

| For the record, I'm relatively certain that my own Jamestown ancestors did not arrive until 1622 or 1623. Just saying..... | ||

In a large
skillet cook the onion until tender and translucent. Add the chopped
garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Add the beef and cook over medium
heat until no longer pink. Drain the mixture and place into a large bowl
and set aside.
In a small bowl combine the soup, milk and sour cream. Whisk until
smooth. Add to hamburger mixture and stir to combine. Add corn and 1 cup
of cheddar cheese. Gently mix to combine.
Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Layer half of the Crispy Crowns on the
bottom, pour the hamburger mixture over the top and then layer with the
other half of the Crispy Crowns. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese
and bake at 350 for 25 - 30 minutes, or until golden brown and crunchy.
*Note - The second time I made this I prepared it the night before and
stuck it in the fridge overnight. I took it out about an hour before I
wanted to bake it, just so it could come to room temperature a bit. I
think it was even better than the first one!
MMM!
Thanks, Tina!

A man was walking on the beach one day and he found a bottle half buried in the sand. He decided to open it. Inside was a genie. The genie said,” I will grant you three wishes and three wishes only." The man thought about his first wish and decided, “I think I want 1 million dollars transferred to a Swiss bank account." POOF! Next he wished for a Ferrari, red in color. POOF! There was the car sitting in front of him. For his final wish he asked, "I wish I was irresistible to women." POOF! He turned into a box of chocolates. |

Recorded by
The Band Perry, 2011
Would you walk
to the edge of the ocean
Just to fill my jar with sand
Just in case I get the notion
To let it run through my hand
Let it run through my hand
Well, I don't want the whole world
The sun, the moon, and all their light
I just want to be the only girl
You love all your life
You love all your life
Would you catch a couple thousand fireflies
Yeah, put them in a lamp to light my world
All dressed up in a tux and bowtie
Hand deliver to a lonely girl
To a lonely lonely girl
Well, I don't want the whole world
The sun, the moon, and all their light
I just want to be the only girl
You love all your life
You love all your life
Lately I've been writing desperate love songs
Mostly I sing them to the walls,
You could be the center piece of my obsession
If you would notice me, I
Ohh yeah
Well I don't want the whole world
The sun, the moon, and all their light
I just want to be the only girl
You love all your life
You love all your life
You love all your life
Life
Yeah
