Food with Retro Recipes
As so-called “Chili-heads” know, this is the season for homemade
chili; but the recent hefty increase in tomato prices following severe
weather in Florida and California has some seeking tomato-based chili

Martha
Matilda's 19th Century Advice for 21st Century Folks
Get Intoxicated on Nature!
Copyright © 2004
Martha Matilda, who draws on advice from the 1800s to offer "Comfort
in a Changing World," encourages readers to enjoy each season to
its fullest. After all, the seasons of our years also mark the seasons
of our lives!
Ah, glorious November!
Of this month and the season of Indian Summer, the 1870 New York
Almanac enthused, “Let it not seem an anti-temperance enthusiasm to say
that the air itself is mellow wine … Would that everybody might
get intoxicated on it!”

Answer
These Riddles!
The November puzzles are in the form of a “problem” and several
“enigmas” from the 1848 Farmers’ Almanac. The problem
may intrigue that math-reluctant student in your family! We’ll post
the answers next month.
Problem
Required to arrange the 9 digits in the form of a square, so that the
sum of either of the sides, of the 4 middle columns, or the diagonals,
shall be the same number. Click
here...
Enigmas
1. Why should the stars be the best astronomers?
2. Why is a fawn like true affection?

The first person to submit the correct answer to the problem, and the
first to submit the most correct answers to the enigmas, will receive
a gift certificate from the
Farmers’ Almanac TV Store!
