Taurahe to English

Posted by Crys | Posted in Nanyehi and the Tauren | Posted on 18-07-2010

This is a brief list of Taurahe words translated to English. It includes both official translations and my supplements based on the structure of the official translations supplemented by various native north american languages as I needed them for roleplaying purposes. This list will continue to grow.

A | M | S | w

A

An’she – the Sun, one of the Earthmother’s eyes.

M

Mu’sha – the white moon, one of the Earthmother’s eyes.

P

Pawne – Biter. As seen in the quest Washte Pawne’s Feather.

S

Shu’halo – Tauren (“the people”)

W

Washte – Spirit – this is an interesting choice. Washte in Lakota is “beautiful”. Case of putting together random Native American sounding syllables and accidentally having an actual word? Maybe. This is attested as Spirit in the quest Washte Pawne’s Feather.

Note: These definitions and spellings are entirely my own creation and extrapolation except where they match the wowwiki Taurahe article or other canon source. You’re welcome to use them, but they are not canon.

This post has links to different resources for Tauren Language, Tauren Lore and Tauren Roleplaying. Many of these were used in the creation of the Tauren resources elsewhere on this site.

This post will be expanded as I find new resources to add.

Orange Teriyaki Chicken Breasts

Posted by Crys | Posted in Cooking | Posted on 05-07-2010

Ingredients:

  • One chicken breast per person
  • 1/4 orange per person, cut into wedges or slices
  • Olive Oil
  • White wine vinegar
  • Teriyaki sauce
  • Garlic, minced or powdered
  • Ginger, thinly sliced or powdered

Line a pan that’s just large enough to hold the chicken breasts with enough aluminum foil to wrap around and seal over the top of the chicken (or use a casserole dish that can be baked with a lid on).

In the pan, drizzle olive oil, a little vinegar, a little teriyaki sauce, then a layer of garlic, ginger and orange slices. Place one of the chicken breasts in the pan. Repeat with alternating layers of the ingredients until you’ve added all the chicken breasts. Top off with a generous layer of the non-chicken ingredients and wrap tightly in the aluminum foil. Put it in a 375° oven for about a half hour.
