7 Things About Myself

Let me see what 7 random things I can dig up. They might be kind of boring, so don’t hold onto your seats!

1. I dislike matching outfits.

As in a whole suit, though, therefore, my office suits don’t match.

Day 10: A book that reminds you of home

Posted on January 10, 2018January 10, 2018 by Diana Tyler (Eccentric Muse)

Any book by Michael Anthony!

He is a local author (Trinidadian). His books take me back in time to when my country was under the rule of English, the Spanish, with the French leaving the most notable influence on Trinidad. He takes me back to my mother’s time when the country actually had a tram. I learned the meanings behind the names of our towns and villages. I am currently reading some of these historical books right now and learning even more where it concerns the first World War.

50 Foods #12: Spartan Black Broth

Posted on January 10, 2018 by Diana Tyler (Eccentric Muse)

Origin: Ancient Greece
Date: 5th century BCE
Type: Blood soup

It is said that no recipe for Spartan black broth has survived so I don’t know exactly how this food changed the course of history. This soup was made of blood, salt, vinegar and pigs’ legs and served at every Spartan’s mess.
