| Roulade of Herbed Lamb with Stewed Garlic (recipe) | by Adaptive Child |
This is a fancy one I picked up from a friend of the family. The herbs rolled up in the loin of lamb, rosemary, thyme, lavender and whatnot, are a fresh combination of herbes de Provence, a mix of herbs from the southern part of France. Definitely a meal to impress.
Roulade of Herbed Lamb with Stewed Garlic
Serves 6.

| Adventures in veterinary school: Year One (event) | by Rai Tai |
As of 9:32 a.m on May 6th, 2008, I am officially done with my first year of studies at the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine. It has been absolutely more than I could imagine-- more work, more pain, more suffering, more long hours spent over books and notebooks and dead bodies than I thought a person could undertake and survive.

| Endogamy (idea) | by fallensparks |
It's like Webster says.
The practice of marriage within a social group. Examples of such a group

probably the most relevant grouping worldwide. The Amish community and Orthodox
Jews may be the most famous practitioners but endogamy, to varying
degrees, is extremely common.
