Anne was neat people -- she and her husband suffered much for the faith - and he died in exile in Europe. She was asked by the Jesuits to run a 'safe house' for priests... and so she did so.... and undoubtedly was a better housekeeper than I will ever be...... They moved her a few times 'cause they were afraid that she was under suspicion... and meanwhile she developed this deep, mystical prayer life while doing simple housework and priest-hiding...... Then one day they broke in on them while Mass was about to be conducted, and they arrested the Jesuits and her. They took her to London and she was executed at Tyburn... and I love her final words, when they asked her if she had anything to say.. she said,

"[i]I am sentenced to die for harbouring a Catholic priest, and so far I am from repenting for having so done, that I wish, with all my soul, that where I have entertained one, I could have entertained a thousand."[/i]

My kind of lady!!!! Talk about the patron saint of Zingers!!!!
[/quote] Whoa! I didn't know anything about her other than that you used her name before. Maybe I should look her up tomorrow....

Ah, CT, therein lies a tale...that is to keep the rosemary from BURSTING INTO FLAME IF IT GETS TOO HOT Like AnneLine did once!!!

Adding water or wine or other liquid also makes the chicken super-moist... but you want to keep the chicken up OUT of the liquid. The branches hold the chicken up over the water and the juices drop down into the bottom.

If you can't use the rosemary, you could use a metal rack to hold the chicken up-- and then you wouldn't need the water, either... or find some other nice-smelling wood. (Just be sure you don't use anything poisonous!).

What you wouldn't get is the really nice rosemary smoked flavor on the chicken.... I don't know if you could use something like apple wood or some such thing. but yeah, that keeps me from burning the place down!!!! I'd probably squirt some lemon juice on the chicken and then leave the lemons in the bottom of the pan with a bit of water or butter.... and then squirt the juicy lemons over the chicken at the end.



The rosemary trick works really well in a crockpot with a cheap cut of beef by the way... then you use the rosemary, the beef, and pour a cup of wine over it... maybe add a little pasta sauce if you want to get fancy... and put the lid on and let 'er cook. Mmmmmmm....

Now we both are hungry....

Mmmm..... Cooking meat on good smelling wood sounds like it could be good. I dare say I was wrong in thinking that the recipe looked familiar and didn't even know what exactly roasting is! That just goes to show how little I know at the ripe old (er...) age of nineteen. That could be worth a try.

Another cooking type thing: If only I had sour milk and some cloth I could use, I'd want to try to make cottage cheese. My mom used to do that sometimes, but it's been a long time since she did. I only thought of it recently as I I was looking at some thin pajamas and thinking how they would make perfect cheesecloth.... I'm not sure they'd be a good idea, though. But cheese making.... I'd like to try my hand at it, because it's so very easy. All you have to do is boil sour milk (or boil normal milk and lemon juice (maybe another acid would work) together), wait until it curdles (don't let it boil over, but if it's sour it shouldn't try), put it in cheesecloth to split the curds and the whey, and then add salt (maybe other stuff could be good) to the curds.

[b] Anne Line[/b]


From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[b]Saint Anne Line[/b] (1567 – 27 February 1601) was an English martyr who was executed during the reign of Elizabeth I for harbouring a priest. She was born in 1567, the second daughter of Heigham, Esq., of Essex, a strict Calvinist, and was, together with her brother William, disinherited for converting to Catholicism. Some time before 1586, she married Roger Line, a young Catholic who had been disinherited for the same reason. Roger Line and William Heigham were arrested together while attending Mass, and were imprisoned, fined, and finally banished. Roger Line went to Flanders, where he received a small allowance from the King of Spain, part of which he sent regularly to his wife until his death around 1594.

Around the same time, Father John Gerard, S.J. opened a house of refuge for hiding priests, and put the newly-widowed Anne Line in charge of it, despite her ill health. By 1597, this house had become insecure, so another was opened, and Anne Line was, again, placed in charge. On 2 February 1601, Fr. Francis Page was saying Mass in the house managed by Anne Line, when men arrived to arrest him. The priest managed to slip into a special hiding place, prepared by her and afterwards to escape, but she was arrested, along with two other laypeople.

She was tried at the Old Bailey on 26 February 1601. She was so weak that she was carried to the trial in a chair. She told the court that so far from regretting having concealed a priest, she only grieved that she "could not receive a thousand more." Sir John Popham, the judge, sentenced her to hang the next day at Tyburn.

Anne Line was hanged on 27 February 1601. She was executed immediately before two priests, Fr. Roger Filcock, and Fr. Mark Barkworth, though, as a woman, she was spared the disembowelling that they endured. At the scaffold she repeated what she had said at her trial, declaring loudly to the bystanders: [i]"I am sentenced to die for harbouring a Catholic priest, and so far I am from repenting for having so done, that I wish, with all my soul, that where I have entertained one, I could have entertained a thousand."[/i]

It has been argued (by John Finnis and others) that Shakespeare's poem [i]The Phoenix and the Turtle[/i] was written shortly after her death to commemorate Anne and Roger Line and that it allegorically takes the form of a Catholic requiem for the couple.

Anne Line was beatified by Pope Pius XI on 15 December 1929. She was canonised by Pope Paul VI on 25 October 1970, as one of the Forty Martyrs of England and Wales. Her feast day, along with all the other English Martyrs, is on 4 May. However, in the Catholic dioceses of England, she shares a feast day with fellow female martyr saints, Margaret Clitherow and Margaret Ward on 30 August.

Hey TJTM -- thank you it IS a cute video isn't it!

.... God is out of time... where is YOUR costume!!!!

CT - sounds like you have the makings of a farmwife (or daughter!) from the 17th Century, 19th Century or early 20th Century in you! If you haven't found these fantastic series on Youtube, check them out..... (posted below becuase Phatmass got grumpy!!!)

Tales of the Green Valley (1620), The Victorian Farm and Victorian Farm Christmas (about 1880) and The Edwardian Farm (about 1903-2014).... all three have 2 archeologists and a social historian who go back and live life as it would have been lived on a farm at each of those time periods. They wear the clothes, do the work, prepare and eat the food. Green Valley has helped me understand what life would have been like for Anne Line a lot more... and my great and grandparents for the other two. (Seriously.. .my grandparents were born in 1880-- tradition of the women marrying VERY late in our family....)

I understand SO MUCH MORE about my forebears... and I have learned such WONDERFUL skills from them... and they demo your cheese and some of the other skills... my trick of using the branches is an adjustment for one that Ruth uses for Christmas dinner in teh Edwardian Farm... and MAN is it good!

Well, I had a costume on last night, and today I have done a little costuming for my old laptop- well more like cosmetic surgery. So it has a nice saintly costume now too. :) http://www.phatmass.com/phorum/topic/123868-arfink-gets-random/page__st__180#entry2503963

AnneLine is breathing easier... for a moment in my half-coffeed brain, I thought you were saying you had lasered that on YOU!!!!!

Does look nice -- does it hurt the computer? Or is it kind of like a tattoo for the computer -- if it could feel, it would be a little sore, but happy with the end result and none-the-worse-for-wear... unless it needed an MRI at some point?

No damage to the machine at all. Just needed a little cleaning after the laser finished blasting the pattern into the plastic lid. :)

Oh... it is a PLASTIC lid... I thought it was one of those metal ones...
[/quote]

Yeah, if it was a metal lid I'd coat it with a thermark spray before lasering, so it would make nice dark markings without needing too much heat.
