This colcannon recipe is a mix of mashed potatoes, sauteed cabbage and bacon, all combined to form a hearty and savory side dish. Colcannon pairs perfectly with chicken, beef and pork, and also happens to be super easy to make.

When something hurts :(

“Mal de/au...”

In French, we use “mal de” in many sentences to express a lot of emotions! Here I give you not the ones where you express body pain but other things!

Mal de tête : Headache (Okay only one body pain cause it’s important hehe)

Mal de mer : Seasick

Mal de l’air : Sick when flying

Mal au coeur : Heartbreaking (as in the expression “ca fait mal au cœur”) Could also be used to literally express heart ache

Mal du pays : Homesick

Mal de vivre : Depressed

Little fact about French because I just learned that

The accent circonflexe (^) exists in French words to replace the “s” that no longer exists but used to be there in older French.

For example: fenêtre used to be fenestre

It is still possible to see the “s” at times in family words like “défenestrer”.

culmaer

knowing this, « être » becomes much more regular :

être → estre (es, est, sommes, ê[s]tes, sont ; ser-)

some French derivations become clearer :

fenêtre → défenestrer → L. fenestra

fête → festival

hôpital → hospitaliser (E. hospital, ise)

intérêt → intéressant (E. interest, -ing)

ancêtre → ancestral (E. ancestor, -ral)

arrêt → arrestation

épître → épistolaire (E. epistle)

some English cognates become more obvious :

hôtel → hostel (E. ‘hotel’ borrowed from French)

forêt → forest (tipp to remember ^ goes on the ‹e›)

bête → beast

côte → coast

honnête → honest

pâte, pâté → pasta, paste

quête → quest

enquête → inquest

tempête → tempest

vêtements → vestments (ie. clothes)

baptême → baptism

sometimes, the acute replaces the circumfex for phonetic reasons :

ḗcole → escole → L. schola (E. school)

ḗtranger → estrangier (E. stranger)

ḗtudier → estudier (E. study)

dḗgoûtant → desgoustant (E. disgusting)

dḗbarquer → desembarquer (E. disembark)

rḗpondre → respondre (E. respond)

rḗpublique → L. res publica

Also, where « c → ch » (eg. cantare→ chanter) :

château → castel (E. castle)

pêcher → L. piscare

and « w → gu » (eg. war→ guerre ; warden→ guardian) :

guêpe → E. wasp ! (this is my n° 1 favourite cognate)

bonus etymologies :

tête → L. testa

fantôme → L. phantasma (E. ‘phantom’ borrowed from French)

Pâques → Gk. pásxa → Am. pésaḫ (E. Paschal)

Also just be aware that the circumflex has some other uses too, like distinguishing « sur — sûr » or « dû » and the vowel quality in « âge »

Where was this post when I was doing A-Level French! This is actually a really interesting language change called “syncope” (the loss of a medial segment within a word) and what makes it even more interesting to me is that not only was the -s- dropped post vocalically and largely before voiceless stops, but that the circumflex was (unnecessarily but coolly) adopted as an orthographic marker of the lost -s-. Even more interesting is that syncope usually occurs in vowels. I love this.

On this day (Sept. 6) in 1939, Arthur Rackham died. Rackham was a popular British illustrator of children’s books in the early 20th century. Below, we are featuring his illustrations from Siegfried and the Twilight of the Gods (1911), Peter Pan (1907), The Rhinegold and the Valkyrie (1910), Rip Van Wrinkle (1905), and The Ingoldsby Legends (1898).

Ninth House arrives on October 1st. It’s my story of power, privilege, dark magic, and murder set at Yale University. It’s also probably the most personal thing I’ve ever written and that makes the prospect of sharing it a little more terrifying.

I should mention that it is adult, not YA and will be published as such. It goes some very dark places and it is meant to disturb.

If you’d like to read an excerpt and meet Alex Stern, EW.com has it. Hope you enjoy 🖤
