The typical meal I chose to represent is called Morue and its origins is from the Haitian ethnicity. Morue is a meal usually eaten at dinner time alongside Sauce Pois Rouge (red pea soup) which is served with rice, and drank with Ginger & Cinnamon tea. To make Morue, you need: 1 lb. of salt cod (morue), water as desired, 1 small diced shallot, 1 small diced onion, 1 cup of olive oil and 1 hot pepper. To prepare this meal, “add the cod in a saucepan and cover with water. Let boil over medium-high heat. Drain the cod and soak in cool water. Shred the boiled cod. Drain and set aside. In a skillet, heat the oil and sauté the remaining ingredients. Add the cod and sauté lightly for 2-3 mins (Recipes, 2014).”

Leonardo da Vinci was a great inventor, scientist, engineer, architect, and artist, as well as possibly the greatest mind the world has ever –and possibly will ever- know. Leonardo da Vinci, if he were alive today, could quite possibly rival Stephen Hawking. Leonardo da Vinci was a man ahead of his time. He drew machines that we are still trying to figure out today, and he drew gears and systems that work in machines today. His drawing of anatomy helps doctors today, including his drawings of the human heart. Leonardo da Vinci made weapons for wealthy patrons, including those weapons that were just for show. Leonardo da Vinci was truly a Renaissance Man, well ahead of his time in his inventions, drawings, paintings and studies of human anatomy.

Not only did it spark my interest for politics, but it raised some personal thoughts that applied to some of Cicero’s suggestions. Albeit positive, Cicero’s suggestions can very well be applied to modern life.
