ancient cooking systems...

So the Ancient Greeks cooked beyond just an open fire...
In so many ways, I see the prototype of the Weber here...
I wonder if the Ancient Egyptians had any similar cooking systems? I can only find a mention of wood-fired ovens... https://t.co/VSmnuCjlHm

MELBOURNE WEATHER: Storms may be predicted for my Mornington Peninsula world tomorrow, yet tonight, there was a massive, lengthy clap of thunder that shook the house. Just one.
No rain.
But the lights danced off and on.

1920's and 2020's...

And the Crime section is a subset of the Politics section...
Adore this sign...a sign of the 2020's...
