"Alternatively it may be that the air is denser in certain parts, with the result that the quivering brilliance of the solar fire is retarded beneath the earth and cannot easily penetrate the air and emerge above the horizon. This would explain why in winter nights drag on for a long time, before the dazzling diadem of day appears. [...] At length the solstice brings snow, and winter returns with numbing frost, followed by cold with teeth chattering." (Lucretius, De Rerum Natura, Book V 697-701, 748-750)
Winter Night in the Mountains by Harald Sohlberg (1914)

Finding Things At EpicureanFriends.com
What's the best strategy for finding things on EpicureanFriends.com? Here's a suggested search strategy:
- First, familiarize yourself with the list of forums. The best way to find threads related to a particular topic is to look in the relevant forum. Over the years most people have tried to start threads according to forum topic, and we regularly move threads from our "general discussion" area over to forums with more descriptive titles.
- Use the "Search" facility at the top right of every page. Note that the search box asks you what section of the forum you'd like to search. If you don't know, select "Everywhere." Also check the "Search Assistance" page.
- Use the "Tag" facility, starting with the "Key Tags By Topic" in the right hand navigation pane, or using the "Search By Tag" page, or the "Tag Overview" page which contains a list of all tags alphabetically. We curate the available tags to keep them to a manageable number that is descriptive of frequently-searched topics.
