Quaker

Peaceful Heart Sangha. Sundays 4-6 pm, leave at 3:13 pm. Go west from house on right side of Kirkwood to Lemay; take a right on Lemay, staying in the bike lane until you hit Stuart. Take a left on Stuart, into the right hand bike lane. Go west on Stuart until you hit Remington; take a right turn on Remington (staying in the bike lane), going north until Laurel. Take a left turn on Laurel (into the right hand bike lane), going west. At Armstrong, take a left into the west side parking lot. Park. Look for the entrance on the WEST side of the Lory North Apartments. The lounge is on the garden level, so if there is no one waiting at the door just knock on the garden level windows to the right of the door.

On the way back, go right on Laurel, staying in the bike lane, take a right on Loomis or Meridian, going south onto the designated bike lane (STAYING RIGHT). Take a left on the multiuse path onto the right hand side, then go straight when the next left appears. Keep going straight through the next intersection, and stay on the multiuse path until you get to Center Ave. Go straight, south, till you hit the Spring Creek Trail on your left (right hand side). Take that till you hit Stuart going east on your right. Stay in the bike lane on Stuart back the way you came -- taking a right hand turn onto Lemay, staying in the bike lane, and then taking a left at Kirkwood onto the right hand side of the street to your house.

Study agriculture -- animal science. If anything.

Eat to live, do not live to eat. That's like a man, but this below a beast.
Have wholesome but not costly food.
If thou rise with an appetite, thou are sure never to sit down without one.
The proverb says that "enough is as good as a feast." but it is certainly better . . .
The luxurious eater and drinker who is taken up with an excessive care of his palate and belly. . . . so full is he fed that he can scarce find out a stomach . . .
Rarely drink but when thou art dry; nor then, between meals, if it can be avoided.
The smaller the drink, the clearer the head and the cooler the blood, which are great benefits in temper and business.
Strong liquors are good at some times and in small proportions, being better for physic than food, for cordials than common use (herbsaint is best).
All excess is ill, but drunkenness is the worst sort: it spoils health, dismounts the mind, and unmans men; it reveals secrets, is quarrelsome, lascivious, impudent, dangerous, and mad. In fine, he that is drunk is not a man, because he is so long void of reason, that distinguishes a man from a beast.
It is a cruel folly to offer up to ostentation so many lives of creatures . . . as it is a prodigal one to spend more in sauce than in meat.
The most common things are the most useful, which shows both the wisdom and goodness of the great Lord . . .
What therefore he has made rare, don't thou use too commonly, lest thou shouldst invert the use and order of things . . .

Quakers refused to touch foods that were tainted by social evil . . . many practiced some small act of symbolic sacrifice.
The Quaker prefers to boil his food (cooking pot rather than the oven).
Boiled breakfast, boiled dinner. "In the country, morning and even repasts were generally made of milk, having bread boiled therein, or else thickened with pop-robbins--things made up of flour and eggs into a batter, and so dropped in the boiling milk" Popovers, served at breakfast or tea or with meats and lunch and dinner
Boiled dumplings and puddings. Apple dumplings were a daily dish.
