It's my early onset dementia.  I suppose the holy water prepares them for other priestly purposes...  not that I would venture what.

What self-respecting atheist are you? Didn't you get that memo? They're only good if they haven't been spoiled by holey water.

Dallas, does that mean no Catholics?  I hear they baptize them early.   Ohhhh....  that's how they protect them from the atheists!

Yes, SB, but you gotta get 'em before they're baptized, or else the meat gets very tough.

On the other hand, I may have come by it honestly. My paternal grandfather was from Georgia, and Jews have been documented in Georgia as early as the first century CE, and were probably there earlier, according to Wikipedia. And since Georgia borders Turkey, there were definitely opportunities for admixture, although the Jews tended to be pretty isolated. Who knows? It just makes me feel sort of exotic! :-)

Possibly a descendent of Atilla the Hun, or of his troops.  

 

 

Hun Empire

 

The Huns had a Turkic language.  I imagine that the Hun soldiers were all male, and as was the habit of invading armies of that and most other eras, their DNA was spread in the form of descendants across their conquered lands.  That would explain it being on the Y but not X chromosomes.  If they looked at other chromosomes, you would probably have some Turkic DNA too.

Great videos, Dallas! I had a mitochondrial and Y-chromosome (from my brother) test done, and found out that in addition to my obvious Semitic and Slavic ancestry, my mitochondrial DNA is Germanic and my brother's Y chromosome is Turkic. How which part got where is a bit of a mystery, but it's kind of NICE to know I'm a mutt! :-)

Healthier forms of cooking are the trend these days, so that Cajun-style cooking might just do it.  Another option is simple grilling, then top with a freshly made aioli sauce and fresh-ground black pepper.  That works best for the ones that haven't been weaned yet, just milk-fed.

Have you had a Black Russian?  It's blackened Cajun-style.  Nice and spicy!
