Entertained by ancient musicians, we reclined on our "couches" (i.e., the floor) and devoured a distinctly Roman meal, while discussing which foods are our favorites. Our history guide revealed a fascinating bit of Latinate trivia: the Romans REALLY liked pepper. Magistra H visited the club, teaching us the names for the panis, olivae, uvae, ova, and caseus which we were consuming. Then we celebrated Mother Mary's Birthday with highly sugary American-style cupcakes. The kids rounded out the successful club meeting by laughing uproariously while looking at books with pictures of the truly WAY Old Days.
