Cream was on sale. Or how to keep your husband entertained for 2-3 hours

Found cream on sale today. So I made ghee, with ricotta from the leftover buttermilk. The leftover whey is going into broth.

General reaction to released images

I think Vickers looks cool so far. Something I hoping for Sauron's aesthetic is to have a bit of grandeur and not just be evil looking. I want to look at him and see why people could be persuaded by him.

Is Spanish literature taught in schools?

Like literature from Spain, not Spanish language literature, which is obviously is very widely taught.

In the US, I had full year of British literature in high school, as well as Shakespeare being in general literature classes in college.

EDIT: Thanks everyone for the feedback. For most people it seems to be that they get some Spanish classics, but as a part of the history of Spanish Language literature.

To give you some context to where I'm coming from with my question, as I said I had a whole year of British literature. This consisted of: the Viking Saga Beowulf; Canterbury Tales (we had to memorize and recite the original middle English introduction); a chivalric romance, forget which one; English renaissance lit (Shakespeare obviously, but also Faust by Marlow, and poetry eg. Andrew Marvel); John Donne; excerpts from Paradise Lost; skip a few hundred years to Tale of Two Cities by Dickens; then some James Joyce (who's Irish not British, but ok); last thing I remember was 1984 by Orwell. I'm forgetting a bunch of smaller pieces that were thrown in.

I'm surprised that people don't like Cervantes. I read Don Quixote and loved it. I wonder if having it in translation works for me though, since a translation would have it in contemporary English.

How well known was Judaism in early Roman Empire ?

So how prominent was Judiasm in the early Roman Empire (approximately the time of Jesus, pre sac of Jerusalem)? Was it incredibly niche, where even educated cosmopolitan Roman citizens wouldn't have heard of it? Or more well known, where again a educated cosmopolitan Citizen would have heard of the religion and know a few things about (eg from near east, only have one god)

Same question but for Mid-empire, 120 AD under Hadrian.

Anyone have any experience with the adopt-a-park program? I was thinking about getting involved with a small park near my home but wanted more info. Is it basically just picking up litter? Other things you can/should do?

Any info appreciated.
