I am reading a fascinating book on the uses of fire in antiquity. This
book is about how we learned to control fire to first make a hard pottery
then learned to smelt metals. Along the way we learned how to control fire
to make cement and glass. After this thread I realize that the book is
missing something, the use of fire to make great Pizzas and brew great
beer. Then the consumption of both while watching that greatest of all
displays of heat, the sun set.
