What I learned in Spring Semester Latin...

In Latin 3004:Poetry we translated parts of Virgil's Aeneid. The Aeneid follows hero Aeneas on his long journey to Italy and then some. Along the course of 15 weeks I learned that hero Aeneas cries. a lot. 

I am sure Aeneas will cry at the sight of the Intellectual Dreamboat Fruit Company's latest fruit:

                             crying-like-a-little-bitch !

                    Aeneas cried when he was not one of the fallen men after the Trojan War.

 Then I am willing to wager that he cried when Jupiter sent Mercury to tell him to stop lounging around Carthage and go to Italy!

                   Finally he definitely cried a whole lot when he saw Dido in the Underworld. Maybe Aeneas and Dido did not work out because they were just apples and oranges. 

And people thought the Aeneid was a finest tribute to Rome. nope, it's the crying-like-a-little-bitch fruit!

Summer Lovin' with The Intellectual Dreamboat Fan Girlz!

ATTN: It's now officially PLUOT SEASON!

To celebrate this special time of the year, The Intellectual Dreamboat Fan Girlz will now be spending our time working on our latest project... a Pluot cookbook! This summer will be full of experimental and mostly-tasty pluot creations!

Starting with.... Pluotaide!

Pluotaide

4 Large Lemons
4 Beautiful In-Season Pluots
4 Cups Water
3/4 Cup Sugar


01. Heat one cup water in a small saucepan, add 3/4 cup sugar and stir, maintaining medium-high heat until the sugar is completely dissolved. Let sit until juicing is complete.

02. Juice both the lemons and the pluots.
>Note: While juicing pluots is a challenging task that requires the skill of a IDFCO CEO, it is entirely worth the effort.

03. Combine juices, sugar-water, and remaining water in a pretty vase and add lots of ice!

For best results, enjoy in the company of Quynh and Kelly!

Update!

As you will notice, our Pluotaide was served in clever fresh lemon cups hand-crafted by our new intern here at the Intellectual Dreamboat Fruit Company. To protect her delicate entanglement with other less-fulfilling corporate enterprises, we will henceforth refer to her as 92.

We came across this promising new employee as she was wandering the aisles of the local Rainbow Foods, with a new age space fruit that she was unable to afford. Impressed with her interest in hybrid fruits, we decided that she would make the perfect intern!







Here at the Intellectual Dreamboat Fruit Company, though, we treat our employees with the highest of labor standards! Immediately following a day's work on Pluotaide, 92 was able to enjoy the literal fruits of her labor.

Yea, she likes it.
