It is theorized that the mead was discovered under a tree and it makes a lot of sense.  The theory goes that a beehive either overflowed or was damaged and the honey dripped down into a pool of water. To turn this into a fermented beverage all we need to add to this honey and water mix is some yeast.  In an open environment a natural yeast will grow in the honey water and this is enough for it to ferment.

The Chicago-style &quot;deep-dish&quot; pizza that many people love was invented at Pizzeria Uno, in Chicago, in 1943, reportedly by Uno&#039;s founder Ike Sewell, a former University of Texas football star. However, a 1956 article from the Chicago Daily News asserts that Uno&#039;s original pizza chef Rudy Malnati developed the famous recipe.



The pizza&#039;s foundation is simple. It uses a thick layer of dough (made with olive oil and cornmeal) that is formed to a deep round pan and pulled up the sides. The piz...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[



The history of Italian cooking actually stems all the back to the traditions of the Romans and Greeks. There are still dishes today, such as polenta, which are practically identical to the meals that were prepared for the Roman soldiers over 2000 years ago. The next time you dig into a plate of pasta, imagine that Caesar himself may have enjoyed the same dish so many years ago.
