You're welcome πŸ™‚. I don't know if there is any such thing as a 'perfect' match. But similar views and interests certainly goes a long way. *casting a sly eye upon you* Have you been looking up Pisces/Taurus for a reason? Some pretty little Bullette caught your eye Star?

LOL I shift gears rapidly. Sorreh! Left skid marks on that one.

I never have checked that out. But I enjoy the idea of it. Here is a Native story on turtle that I have always loved. Seems to fit with the Taurus plodder as well.

It was an early winter, cold enough so that the ice had frozen on all the ponds and Bear, who had not yet learned in those days that it was wiser to sleep through the White Season, grumbled as he walked through the woods. Perhaps he was remembering a trick another animal had played on him, perhaps he was just not in a good mood. It happened that he came to the edge of a great pond and saw Turtle there with his head sticking out of the ice.
"Hah," shouted Bear, not even giving his old friend a greeting. "What are you looking at, Slow One?"

Turtle looked at Bear. "Why do you call me slow?"

Bear snorted. "You are the slowest of the animals. If I were to race you, I would leave you far behind." Perhaps Bear never heard of Turtle's big race with Beaver and perhaps Bear did not remember that Turtle, like Coyote, is an animal whose greatest speed is in his wits.

"My friend," Turtle said, "let us have a race to see who is the swiftest."

"All right," said Bear. "Where will we race?"

"We will race here at this pond and the race will be tomorrow morning when the sun is the width of one hand above the horizon. You will run along the banks of the pond and I will swim in the water."

"How can that be?" Bear said. "There is ice all over the pond."

"We will do it this way," said Turtle. "I will make holes in the ice along the side of the pond and swim under the water to each hole and stick my head out when I reach it."

"I agree," said Bear. "Tomorrow we will race."

When the next day came, many of the other animals had gathered to watch. They lined the banks of the great pond and watched Bear as he rolled in the snow and jumped up and down making himself ready.

Finally, just as the sun was a hand's width in the sky, Turtle's head popped out of the hole in the ice at the starting line. "Bear," he called, "I am ready."

Bear walked quickly to the starting place and as soon as the signal was given, he rushed forward, snow flying from his feet and his breath making great white clouds above his head. Turtle's head disappeared in the first hole and then in almost no time at all reappeared from the next hole, far ahead of Bear.

"Here I am Bear," Turtle called. "Catch up to me!" And then he was gone again. Bear was astonished and ran even faster. But before he could reach the next hole, he saw Turtle's green head pop out of it.

"Here I am, Bear," Turtle called again. "Catch up to me!" Now bear began to run in earnest. His sides were puffing in and out as he ran and his eyes were becoming bloodshot, but it was no use. Each time, long before he would reach each of the holes, the ugly green head of Turtle would be there ahead of him calling out to him to catch up!

When Bear finally reached the finish line, he was barely able to crawl. Turtle was waiting there for him, surrounded by all the other animals. Bear had lost the race. He dragged himself home in disgrace, so tired that he fell asleep as soon as he reached his home. He was so tired that he slept until the warm breath of the Spring came to the woods again.

It was not long after Bear and all to other animals had left the pond that Turtle tapped on the ice with one long claw. At his sign it a dozen ugly heads like his popped up from the holes all along the edge of the pond. It was Turtle's cousins and brothers, all of whom looked just like him!

"My relatives," Turtle said, "I wish to thank you. Today we have shown Bear that it does not pay to call other people names. We have taught him a good lesson."

Turtle smiled and a dozen other turtles, all just like him, smiled back. "And we have shown the other animals," Turtle said, "that Turtles are not the slowest of the animals."

Me too. πŸ™‚ I think I about read Grimm's to absolute tatters as a girl. HERE was the real fable. The ones not so nice..the NON Disney approach. Blood and mayhem, witches and Great German forests, French castles and horses heads. How could one look back? Native American folklore is rich and diverse, and definitely worth time spent in the reading of it. πŸ™‚

Ohhhh the REAL "Little Mermaid". Her legs and feet came at such a price, like walking on knives with every step.

I don't think I've a copy of that about. I should have looked yesterday. Spent the day with my Mother and we were peeping at antique shops. Visited a used bookstore. I stocked up on cookbooks, but didn't even think to trip over to fables/folklore.

I like that as well. Oh my goodness, I found a bedframe fit for an absolute Queen! Extremely high headboard and footboard. Deeply carved in bas relief. Rock maple. I lovingly stroked it and sighed. And what was especially wonderful that there was a book case with the Green Man upon the front. Gorgeous. I also sighed and patted and tried on older jewelry completely out of my budget. Heavily admired just the same.
Cookbooks are an affliction with me. The older the better. I have many, many cookbooks. And always have room for 'just one more' to tuck back in my collection. My oldest is from round 1876. It's falling apart but so very interesting. "Butter the size of a walnut", "saleratus" for baking soda, etc. To see what they prepared daily. And I must say all the cookbooks from around the late 30s to early 40s have yielded the tastiest results hands down when I put up a garden.

"We may live without poetry, music and art;
We may live without conscience, and live with out heart.
We may live without friends, we may live without books;
But civilized man cannot live without cooks.
He may live without learning --- what is knowledge but grieving?
He may live without hope --- what is hope but deceiving?
He may live without love --- what is passion but pining?
But where is the man that can live without dining?"
-- Owen Meredith

Poem in front of this cookbook. "Three Meals A Day", 1887.




Mmmmm mmmmm TASTY:

Pressed Pigs Head -- Spiced. - Have the head well cleaned. Boil until the meat will almost drop from the bones. Take up when cool. Cut the meat in inch bits. Heat it in a little of the liquor it was boiled in, and season highly with salt, pepper, cloves, nutmeg and cinnamon. Put in a jar and press with a plate with heavy weight, or pour into a strong bag. Put a heavy weight upon it, and let it remain till perfectly cold. Serve in thin slices.

Much nicer:

French Pancakes. -- This is a very dainty dish. Beat 3 eggs with a saltspoonful of salt and a dessertspoonful of sugar until very light. Add a saltspoonful of soda dissolved in a teaspoonful of vinegar, and a coffee cupful of rich milk. Stir in flour to make a thin batter. Put a little fat on a hot griddle, and turn on batter enough to spread the size of a common teaplate. Brown on both sides. Lay on a hot plate. Spread with a jam marmalade, and roll up like jelly cake. Sift on powdered sugar, and a dash of nutmeg or cinnamon; it is necessary the batter should be very smooth and free from lumps.

Bird's Nest Custard. -- Peel and core enough nice tart apples to fill a pudding-dish; fill the openings with sugar: pour over all a little water and cook until tender. Make a custard sufficient to cover the apples in the dish in the proportion of 2 eggs to a pint of milk. Sweeten to taste and flavor with nutmeg. Bake till the custard sets.
