| | Servants in the Nest of a Foreigner - OFW Kuwait | | 2008-03-20 05:58:00 | | Just as Steve Tamayo parlayed his salary as a hotel janitor in Kuwait and became a restaurant owner and an entrepreneur, Zenaida Magno capitalized on her being an OFW and wrote a book on her life. Magno considers a pen her best friend "especially when I am alone" and although she considers her book, entitled "Servants in the Nest of a Foreigner" as fiction, she incorporated her experiences as a domestic worker in Kuwait in it. In an article by Arab Times, Magno said she had always written even when in high school. As housemaid for a Kuwaiti family for 12 years, she said "I used to write whenever I used to feel homesick." A Tagalog version of Magno’s book first came out. The book, entitled "Katulong sa Pugad ng Dayuhan," first came out in 2007 and was published by Mega Books Co. and distributed by National Bookstore and Power Books. The English version is now widely circulated in Kuwait. Read the Full Story here... You Know What to do... | | By: OFW LIFE | | |

| Cherokee/Cobb Servants | | 2007-11-10 09:55:00 | | According to this article in REALTOR Magazine-Daily.com, Atlanta has again made the list of most afordable cities in the US. And where is the best place in Atlanta to call home, why it's Cobb and Cherokee county of course! This article made me think of the many reasons why I love this area. All of those reasons boiled down to one thing: the people! They are so generous in giving back to their communities with their time, talents and treasures. I would like to share with my blog readers all that I can about various civic charities and services that highlight the work and giving being done in our great area. If you would like to tell me about your charity, non-profit or service related group, please give me a call at 770-862-8002. You can also send an e-mail to me at michaelbradford@comcast.net. I would like to do some features in the near future and want to hear from all of you in Cobb & Cherokee counties.Michael Bradford... | | By: Cherokee County GA Real Estate | | |
| | Directions to Servants. | | 2007-10-16 21:12:00 | | Today, October 17 ... Old household manuals are full of advice on how to manage (and discipline) the domestic servants. Life “below stairs” must have been very unpleasant if the Mistress had a nasty streak, or the Master a wandering eye or hand. Even in households where the servants were well treated and well fed – although never as well as their employers, as we saw last week – the days must have been long and hard. Humans have an amazing capacity for subversion however, and no doubt badly-treated servants found creative ways to retaliate. There is a sense of slight anxiety to be read behind much of the advice given to the mistress in those manuals, as if it was a given that they would be cheated or let down by their servants at any opportunity. There were worse ways a disgruntled servant could retaliate than simply by stealing a bit of tea or not getting the laundry white enough – and the great satirist Jonathan Swift named them in his essay “Directions To Servants” in 1745. "If you are bringing up a Joint of meat in a Dish, and it falls out of your Hand, before you get into the Dining Room, with the Meat on the Ground, and the Sauce spilled, take up the Meat gently, wipe it with the Lap of your Coat, then put it again into the Dish, and serve it up; and when your Lady misses the Sauce, tell her, it is to be sent up in a Plate by itself. When you carry up a Dish of meat, dip your fingers in the Sauce, or lick it with your Tongue, to try whether it be good, and fit for your Master's Table..." To the cook, he said "...you are not to wash your Hands till you have gone to the Necessary-house*, and spitted your Meat, trussed your Pullets, pickt your Sallad, nor indeed till after you have sent up the second Course; for your Hands will be ten times fouled with the many Things you are forced to handle; but when your Work is over, one Washing will serve for all..." * i.e the bathroom, restroom, W.C.,toilet, lavatory, dunny, loo ….. It sounds like saucy dishes were the subversive servant’s delight. Here is a recipe for gravy from Anne Battams’ The lady’s assistant in the oeconomy of the table: a collection of scarce and valuable receipts,... (1759). To make gravy sauce.Take a piece of lean beef, cut it small in thin slices and put as much water as will something more than cover it, with a little old black pepper, and a little onion or shallot, and let it stew till you think the gravy is all out of the beef, then put in a little salt; when it is cold, put in a quarter part claret, a little butter and a little flour, and shake it up for use. Tomorrow’s Story … Monsieur Buffet. Quotation for the Day … I come from a family where gravy is considered a beverage. Erma Bombeck.... | | By: The Old Foodie | | |
