Hi Elaine lol it is a poem like Homer's Odyssey is a poem! I actually ordered it from the library, but it was too much for me - I just found the reference to Medora and quietly returned it! I believe it is a story about pirates and she is the love interest who gets tragically killed. Something like that anyway! Maz. XX

Posh ! Have got a large bottle of Ginger Beer at the side of my bed ! Bought it the other day, but it's NOTHING like the real thing - home made :-( That reminds me, I must ask Aunt how she used to make it :-))) Elaine ;-)

I love the home made stuff ... which is why I bought this bottle when I saw it. Not sure that I did the right thing though, I'm sure Ginger Beer always tasted better than this when I was a nipper !! I wouldn't know WHERE to start making my own ... any suggestions ?? Presume we would start with Root Ginger yes ??? Elaine ;-)

I remember making Ginger Beer for a school project in my teens - we had to keep it in the shed in case it blew up! Found this recipe on-line, but dunno how good it is! 450g (1lb) Sugar 4.5lt (8 pints) Water 1 Lemon 40g (1½oz) Root Ginger 25g (1 oz) Cream of Tartar 25g (1 oz) Brewers or Wine Yeast Bruise the ginger (wrap in a clean cloth - hit with hammer) to release flavour. Finely peel the lemon, removing only the outer waxy layer and squeeze the juice. Place the ginger, lemon rind and cream of tartar into a bucket or large bowl. Pour over the boiling water, add the lemon juice and stir well. Allow to cool to about 21°C (70°F), remove a little of the liquid and mix with the yeast, stir the yeast mixture into the liquid. Cover the container with a clean cloth (ensuring that the cloth cannot come into contact with the liquid) and secure with string or elastic. Leave in a warm place 21°C (70°F) for 24 hours. Strain the liquid through a fine cloth or skim off the froth and use a jug to bale out the liquid (being careful not to disturb the sediment). Pour the ginger beer into strong bottles and cork. Secure the corks with wire, leaving a little play (for possible expansion) Store the bottle in a cool dark place. If the corks begin to rise, release the wire slightly and re-secure. The beer should be ready to drink after 2 - 3 days. Maz. XX
