The Spartans, noted among ancient writers for their austerity, prepared a black broth of blood and boiled pig’s leg, seasoned with vinegar, which they combined with servings of barley, fruit, raw greens, wine and, at larger dinners, sausages or roasted meat. Spartan boys were sparingly issued barley cakes.

Not a whole lot for you here today. I had a bit of fun with the title as you can tell given the game tonight, but it’s all in good natured humor. How are shortened holiday weeks so long though? The weekend cannot arrive soon enough!
