The Grand Ducal Wedding Part 4
Pierre: And with that the couple is off to sign their marriage license and, we have Their Highness Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Bordeaux, as they are known here in Pierreland
Sophie: And Their Highness the Duchess and Duke Consort of Carlisle as they will be known in Carrington!
Pierre: That’s due to all of the subsidiary titles of the Grand Duchy one of which will most likely be reserved for their eldest son.
Sophie: and now they are exiting! First they are paying their Respects to Emperor David, and now to Queen Anastasia
Sophie: And they are heading down the ailse all full of smiles! The pair has certainly had the world watch with baited breath for this big day.
Pierre: Indeed they have and lets not forget, that they are just…well relatively minor members of the imperial family, imagine what will be done when it is one of the Emperor’s younger three children!
Pierre: We are seeing the young bridesmaids and page boys following the couple, looking very cute with Prince Kristof and Princess Cerys leading the pack. Following them are the Maid of Honor and Best Man, Lady Alex of Carlisle and His Grace the Grand Duke of Anjou.
Sophie: Behind them are HRH the Dowager Duchess of Carlisle escorted by Captain Sebastian Villa, husband of the Edmund’s younger twin sister and behind them are the bride and groom’s younger twins, Mrs. Isabella Villa and Lord Sebastian.
Pierre: And after the immediate family are the rest of the bridal party, TIH Crown Prince Louis, Princess Maria Aisha, Prince Henri and Lady Beatrice of Ashbury. And bringing up the rear are TIM Emperor David and Empress Katalina escorted by the Archbishop of Bordeaux and finally, HM Queen Anastasia of Carrington and HRH the Duke of Clois escorted by the Dean of Bordeaux Abbey.
Sophie: And the newly weds have made it outside! Who are lining the steps Pierre?
Pierre: Lining the steps is a guard of honor from the Imperial Air Force which is customary at military weddings which, this technically is due to the Grand Duke’s current service! The Pair will be blocked by the first set and won’t be able to pass till they give each other a kiss.
Sophie: And with that kiss brings the end to our news coverage of the Wedding of Grand Duke Edmund and Duchess Diane. I’m Sophie Carter from Wake Up Carrington.
Pierre: And I’m Pierre Pepin from Good Morning Pierreland, thank for joining us and have a magical day!
And that's the end of the ceremony! stay tuned for more pictures featuring more sims from @royalhouseofcarrington

I will add that you should be aware that spices have a shelf life. They don't go bad, but they just lose their flavor. For example, black pepper loses it's flavor very quickly when it's been ground but retains it decently well as a whole seed.
Seeds (unground) last longer than herbs (dried leaves). Light shortens the lifespan of both.
But hard agree with watching videos. Chef John is pretty good at showing you how to make a recipe. Alton Brown is good at showing you how the ingredients work.
Both Jacques Pepin and Chef Jean-Pierre are excellent at covering classic recipes in a way that are approachable. For example, I wanted to make Coquilles St. Jacques and I followed his recipe and instructions. Straightforward and holy shit it was delicious. He wanders a bit, but is really good about letting you know what you can leave out or substitute or what you can under no circumstances can't leave out.
youtube
You seem like a good sort of person to ask; how does one go about building up a good spice rack? Not only just having the spices, but knowing what they are and how to use them, when and in what quantities, and developing a wider spice palette in general? I grew up in white suburbia and my mother has no idea how to use anything other than salt and ground black pepper, and I want to start making my foods more flavorful. I am tired of utterly flavorless dry roast pork! But I have no idea where to begin lol.
I'd say to start by trying a lot of foods that use a lot of different spice profiles and seeing what you like. If you like Thai food, look into Thai spices and try cooking a few recipes. If you like Indian food, try Indian recipes. If you don't know if you like a particular kind of food, go out and try it and see if you do.
I think the best way to build up your spice rack is to do so slowly over time as you familiarize yourself with different flavors. Don't go out and buy a ton of stuff, go out and buy cumin and make a rice recipe that calls for cumin and see if you like it, then next time maybe add another spice like cayenne pepper to the recipe and see if you like it.
Spices can be really expensive, but they can also be really cheap if you're looking in the right places. Try to avoid the shiny organic spice jars, and see if there are packets of spices in the various "ethnic" food sections of your grocery store (in California it's pretty common to have a Mexican food section and an Asian food section in the store and you'll often find stuff like a packet of cumin for 70 cents that's got the same amount of spice as the organic jar that costs five bucks in the spice aisle).
Once you've got some basics down, start branching out and seeing if you've got any good markets nearby that have more unusual spices. Large Bastard and I get most of our bulk spices from a Middle Eastern market around the corner from our house or at an Indian market a few miles away because it's WAY cheaper to get allspice or turmeric or garam masala from those stores than it would be from the grocery store.
And if you're starting at the basic-basics, like how to season a simple pork roast, check recipe blogs. Find different bloggers and test their recipes until you find someone you trust, then follow their recipes. One good place to start is with Chef John and Food Wishes - he has a wide variety of cuisines that use a lot of different spices and has recipes that range from very simple to very complex.
youtube
Large Bastard really likes Food Wishes and trying recipes from Chef John - he cooks less than I do and has less of a sense of what to add to a pot to get something to taste the way he wants it to, but he's gotten very good at taking Food Wishes recipes and tweaking them or adjusting them and figuring out how to mix and match flavors.
Just cooking - finding a recipe that looks interesting and following it - is a really good way to get better at this kind of thing.
That's actually one of the reasons that I think meal kit boxes like blue apron can be worth it for people who want to learn how to cook - they give you recipes you wouldn't have thought to look for and provide small amounts of the required ingredients so you can sample them and figure out if you like them. My dad and sister got blue apron for like two years and it has significantly improved their cooking skills and ability to mix and match flavors.
It just takes time and money and trial and error. Easy, right? (It isn't, but there's also no way to make it faster other than doing more experiments. Thankfully there are ways to make it cheaper, and yeah looking at local specialty markets is a good way to save on spices)

Franks - Wikipedia
In 870 the Frankish realm came to be permanently divided between western and eastern kingdoms, which were the predecessors of the future Kingdom of France and Holy Roman Empire respectively. It is the western kingdom whose inhabitants eventually came to be known simply as "the French" (French: les français, German: die Franzosen etc.) which has become a distinct modern concept connected to the nation state of France.
Carolingian texts. Notable examples of Carolingian textbooks for kings, counts and other laymen include:
Cathwulf, Epistolae (775) written for Charlemagne.
Paulinus of Aquileia, Liber exhortationis (795), for Count Heiric of Friuli.
Alcuin, De virtutibus et vitiis (c. 799–800), written for Count Wido of Brittany.
Smaragdus of Saint-Mihiel, Via regia (813), arguably the first true European mirror for princes, dedicated to Louis the Pious, when king of Aquitania.
Einhard's Vita Karoli Magni (c. 814) which idolises Charlemagne's reign as something for other rulers to aspire to.
Jonas of Orléans, De Institutione Laicali (818-828), (originally) written for Count Matfrid of Orléans.
Jonas of Orléans, De Institutione Regia (c. 831), written for Pepin I of Aquitaine, apparently on the basis of a council at Orléans.[2]
Agobard of Lyons, his letters, A Comparison of Ecclesiastical and Political Government and Wherein the Dignity of the Church Outshines the Majesty of Empires and the Liber Apologeticus. (833AD)
Dhuoda, (841-843) Liber manualis, written for her son William.
Sedulius Scottus, De rectoribus christianis 'On Christian rulers' (c. 855-9), addressed to King Lothar II of Lotharingia.
Hincmar of Reims, De regis persona 'The Person of the King'
Hincmar of Reims, De ordine palatii 'On the management of the palace' (882), which sets out the moral duties of a king and includes an account of the organisation of the palace.

The Pepins. Monsieur Pierre Pepin came home and they lived happily ever after. I tried to find clips of other stuff Micah Balfour and Sandra Reid were in and gif them and make like a fancy happy ever after smiling and hugging thing to end it, but I couldn’t find :( I do not have the talent. I did make a super crappy gif of an interview with Micah Balfour from an Emmerdale interview where they zooming in and filming the expressions of the OTHER INTERVIEWEE and they asked him like one question. Rude. but here, imagine him happily greeting his wife with this big grin. and then scooping up their lil cute daughter.
#Simone Pepin#Pierre Pepin#Micah Balfour#Sandra Reid#An Ordinary Man#Pierre Pepin spoke so eloquently about the failures of Louis' weak kingship#I liked him so he gets a happy ending#His wife should have a better storyline maybe she goes on to be a general that'd be cool like her and Jeanne and Ninon were all cool women#they should be generals in Porthos's army#or maybe they can build a new town with Elodie#or fight crime#or fight the monarchy and injustice with Sylvie

The Toronto School of Art needed to entice people to sign up for their Fall Courses. To drum up excitement, Cundari created a series of stunning visuals that encouraged people to add more art to their everyday lives. To do so, different objects (a hand, a laptop, and a suit) were shown covered in paint, set in the colours of the TSA, along with headlines inviting consumers to embrace creativity -- because everyday life is better with art.

The Grand Ducal Wedding Part 1
Bordeaux Abbey, Violette, Bordeaux
Pierrelander Anchor: Goood Morning to viewers from all around the simverse especially our friends from the Kingdom of Carrington! I’m Pierre Pepin from Good Morning Pierreland and I’m joined by my friend from Wake Up Carrington, Sophie Carter to celebrate the wedding that is taking Carlisle and Bordeaux by storm! The wedding of His Grace The Grand Duke of Bordeaux to Her Highness the Duchess of Carlisle! Good Morning Sophie!
Sophie: Good Morning Pierre! Thank you for allowing me and the Carrington join you for such a lovely wedding! Now we are experiencing nothing but blue skies and sunshine for the happy couple who we have been watching be deeply in love for months now with the pair deciding to take a very long engagement. But judging by the venue, I think it was worth the wait!
Pierre: That’s right Sophie! Unlike the wedding of the Grand Duke’s younger twin sister which took place at the church their parents, Duke Jeffery and Duchess Cecile, married in. The Grand Duke has opted to take up the family tradition of marrying in Bordeaux Abbey which was built in the 1500s by the first Duke of Bordeaux!
Sophie: That is fascinating! Today hopes to be a blend of both Carrington and Pierreland traditions as we see these lovebirds walk up the aisle!
Pierre: And speaking of traditions, we just have received news from Palais de Royal Rouge, home to Emperor David, in conjunction with Nimben Palace, home to Queen Anastasia, that the pair will be combining their titles! While in Carrington the pair will be known as Their Highness’s the Duchess and Duke Consort of Carlisle but in Pierreland they shall be known as Their Highness’s The Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Bordeaux. Phew that is a mouthful!
Sophie: it is Pierre! I do love that Grand Duke Edmund will be just a Duke Consort in Carrington, it speaks to his supportiveness of his soon to be wife. Now I wonder what will happen with the titles of their children?
Pierre: That is a Great Question that will have to wait because Guests are now arriving at Bordeaux Abbey!
Pierre: And first to arrive are TIH the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Siene! The lovely older couple are the parents of HRH the Crown Princess of Lunaria who is Grand Duke Edmund’s godmother. It is reported that the Crown Princess does send her best wishes to her godson. Did you know that the young Grand Duke was apart of her bridal party!
Sophie: that is so sweet! It is a bit of a bummer that we won’t get a dose of Minicolas however, Minnie’s parents look lovely and matching in their green hue, we love a bright cheery green! And behind them appears to be TIH Prince Anthony and Lord Consort Nashville!
Pierre: I adore them, the seem to be deep in thought with Lord Consort Nashville opting to not wear military uniform and to go with a tan suit. A smart choice! I also love that the husbands have the salt and pepper look as well as the beards! Such a handsome couple!
Sophie: And behind them is Mr. Marcos Sepulveda, the Empress’s Father and a defacto grandfather to the Grand Duke! He appears to be holding his cane but not using it as he strongly walks into the abbey.
Pierre: Pierrelanders do love the former Prime Minster. We have heard of some small health scares with him so we do wish him best!
Sophie: And we are going to quickly pan to the main entrance to the abbey, to see the arrival of the Groom and his best man! This is all very exciting! Pierre, can you give us a rundown of the two uniforms we have on show today!
Pierre: I will Sophie! The Grand Duke of Bordeaux has opted for the formal uniform of the Imperial Airforce with his service beret due to him being apart of the Helicopter Corps. It does appear that the Grand Duke of Bordeaux also has on his Dark Green sash. This is to signify that he is also Colonel in Chief of the Bordeaux Brigade in the Imperial Army. There were rumors that he was going to marry in the traditional kilted garb of the Brigade but the IAF uniform was a clear front runner. The Grand Duke of Anjou, who is on best man duty today, is in his Imperial Navy darks, much different than his own wedding where he was in his Imperial Navy whites. He very much fits the tone of todays celebrations and it is noted that both men are swordless today which again, comes as a surprise to some but honestly. Swords do get heavy.

DONJON2022 - #73 - Montricoux by quadralectics Le Donjon des Templiers Le donjon bien plus haut qu’il ne l’est actuellement, comprenait une salle basse voûtée, sans autre ouverture à l’origine que d’étroites meurtrières sur la façade sud. Au-dessus, il y avait trois étages et une plate-forme crénelée. Aux angles s’élevaient quatre tourelles en encorbellement également crénelées; dans celle du nord-ouest se trouve l’escalier à vis qui desservait les différents étages; on pouvait y accéder par une porte donnant dans le château et par une galerie boisée à l’intérieur de la salle basse, au niveau du premier étage. La construction du donjon fut achevée en 1287. Après avoir résisté à divers assauts durant les guerres de Religion, le donjon Symbole de l’autorité seigneuriale sera malheureusement mutilé à la Révolution de 1789 par la population. Il resta longtemps en l’état de ruines, avant que ses murs ne furent arasés et qu’une toiture ne soit mise en place pour protéger l’édifice des intempéries. Le château Contrairement au donjon, le château primitif celui qui avait été construit du temps des Templiers, ne résista pas aux assaillants Calvinistes de 1558 et fut ravagé par un incendie. C’est en 1730, que Pierre-Hyppolite de Maurez de Malartic, entreprit de faire reconstruire le château qui sera achevé sous le règne de son fils Amable-Gabriel-Louis-François de Maurez de Malartic alors premier président du Conseil souverain du Roussillon. Après avoir appartenu à de nombreux propriétaires, le château de Montricoux appartient à la famille Namy depuis plus de 30 ans et abrite un magnifique musée qui renferme une somptueuse collection des œuvres de l’Artiste-Peintre Marcel-Lenoir. www.montricoux.fr/patrimoine/ --- Montricoux (Occitan: Montricós) is a commune in the Tarn-et-Garonne department in the Occitanie region in southern France. It is located along the banks of the Aveyron, between Nègrepelisse and Bruniquel. The written history of the commune dates back to the eighth century. The Château de Montricoux, built by the Knights Templar, now houses the Marcel-Lenoir Museum, which preserves 130 drawings, pastels, watercolors, oils, and frescoes by this artist, a resident of the town. Geography On the right bank of the Aveyron, Montricoux, with an area of 2644 hectares, lies in lower Quercy where the river leaves the limestone gorges of the Massif Central for the plain. Thus its nickname, “Portes des Gorges de l’Aveyron”, (Gates of the Aveyron Gorges). Etymology The first known name of Montricoux was “Mormacus” then “Mons-Riculfi“ which in langue d’Oc became “Mont-Ricolf” and later “Mont-Ricos”, which means “rough, harsh mountain.” History The nearby site archaeological site of Fontalès in Saint Antonin dates to the end of the Upper Paleolithic (Magdalenian). Flints from northwestern France and the ]Périgord have been found in Montricoux and a number of other sites in the Aveyron valley, providing evidence for the travel of ancient nomads through the region. Stone axes have been found in nearby St Laurent, and these and the cave dwellings, flints, dolmens and a tumulus known as the Tombeau du Géant (Giant’s Tomb) in the nearby forest of Bretou indicate a human presence since very early times. An Iron Age tumulus has been discovered in a Montricoux locality named "Quartou” and a line of dolmens, possibly Bronze Age, stretches from Montricoux to Puylaroque. The town was known as Mormacus in this period, and archaeologists have found Roman coins there stamped with this name. It was still known as Mormac in 767 when King Pepin the Short, honoring a vow made before his victory over Waiofar the Duke of Aquitaine, donated the land and the monastery of Saint Antonin to the monks who lived there. The 13th-century keep of the Chateau de Montricoux dominates the cityscape of Montricoux. The Vaour commandery of the Knights Templar built it on land they had obtained in 1181 in a land swap with the monks of Saint Antonin. Article 13 of the city charter of January 6 1277 forbade the townspeople from fishing in their pond, which has since disappeared as the river receded. Castle window Philip IV of France ordered the mass arrest of the Knights Templar in 1307. He gave their castle in Montricoux to his squire, Esquieu de Floyran, who had denounced the Templars as heretics. De Florian lost the château in 1322 to the Hospitaliers. On 22 March 1312 Clement V’s Papal bull Vox in excelso abolished the Templars. The May 1312 bull Ad Providam allocated all Templar assets to the Knights Hospitaller. Unlike many neighboring towns, Montricoux remained Catholic during the French Wars of Religion. Nearby Montauban in particular had a long history of religious dissidence. The first Calvinist attack in 1561 did little damage to Montricoux, but later attacks destroyed part of the town and almost all of the château burned down, except for the keep. The de Malartic family rebuilt the château in the early 18th century. Louis XIII visited Montricoux in 1626 during the sieges of St Antonin and Nègrepelisse Louis had taken St Antonin in 1622, and demolished its walls and much of the city. It avoided a massacre such as Nègrepelisse had suffered only by paying a hefty ransom. Before that he had laid siege to nearby Montauban from August to November 1621 but had had to abandon that effort when many of his men fell ill. Saint-Pierre The church of Saint Pierre until 1790 belonged to the Order of Saint-Jean-de-Jérusalem. The entrance porch, built in the same style as the 13th century abbey of Beaulieu, is the oldest part of the church. Steeple The steeple dates from 1549. Like those at Nègrepelisse, Caussade, and the Basilica of Saint Sernin, it is of "Toulouse style", an octagonal brick tower with miter windows on a square stone socle, flanked by a turret. Gargoyles on each corner serve as downspouts. Timbered houses Today the streets of Montricoux offer many fine examples of timber framing, many of them dating from a period of rebuilding after the Hundred Years’ War. Members of the maquis, the decentralized French Resistance movement in World War II, were captured in Montricoux and hanged on July 23 1944 by German soldiers. The Germans had intended to leave the bodies on display but yielded to the protestations of a local pharmacist. https://flic.kr/p/2no7j6g

In honour of Black History Month, here are the characters with speaking parts in The Musketeers (2014) played by black actors:
Porthos - Howard Charles (every episode)
Charon - Ashley Walters (The Homecoming, S1E5)
Pierre Pepin - Micah Balfour (An Ordinary Man, S2E2)
Simone Pepin - Sandra Reid (An Ordinary Man, S2E2)
Tariq Salaman - Colin Salmon (The Good Traitor, (S2E3)
Samara Salaman - Antonia Thomas (The Good Traitor, (S2E3)
Raymond - Charles Venn (Emilie, S2E4)
Sylvie Boden - Thalissa Teixeira (all but ep1 of Season 3)
Rochelle - Leah Haile (To Play The King, S3E5)
There’s also Pepin’s daughter, but I can’t find a credit for her or a character name - she didn’t have a speaking part, but she was in an important scene at the end of the ep:
I’m sure I’ve missed someone :(
Not exactly a huge number of parts, but for all the different versions of the Musketeers (based on books by a black author!), it’s certainly the best for black actor participation
