THE GOOD LIFE
Kneading the dough of his latest creation, Cato gazed at Salonia. No longer a slave, but his young wife, great with his child. She had been his solace after the death of Licinia. It was hard for him to believe he would soon be a new father at the seasoned age of eighty.
“What are you making, husband?” she asked.
“I call it Placenta.” *
She took a deep breath through her nose. “An aroma fit for the gods. You are a marvelous cook, Cato. What’s in it?”
“Cheese, ground spelt, wheat, and plenty of honey. As sweet as my bride.”
*Pronounced pla-CHEN-ta and has nothing to do with afterbirth. 😉
Here’s a link to the RECIPE et al
