	The Mavens' Word of the Day
		I know that gruel is 'a thin, cooked cereal', that grueling means 'exhausting or arduous', and that gruesome means 'repugnant'.
		The expression probably comes from the fact that gruel was something given to the sick; if you "got your gruel," you weren't feeling very well, and if you "gave someone his gruel," you were causing him to feel unwell.
		Grueling meaning 'exhausting' or 'punishing', which dates from the middle of the 19th century, clearly comes from the colloquial sense of gruel as 'punishment': "Their rivals [in a boat race]...were pulling a very quick and 'grueling' stroke" (J.F. Bateman, "Aquatic Notes," 1852).

	Gruel / recipes / cooking /
		This dish was usually stewed to be thick but in hard times gruel was made to be very thin so it would stretch to feed all the family that it was needed to feed.
		So you see, Gruel has a long history of days gone by but still continues to be eaten to this day.
		Gruel is excellent when used as a thickening for your homemade soups and stews and chilies too.

	BT - Kitchen Anthropology: Home Brewing an Ancient Beer
		Whether sprouted bread was a derivative of sprouted gruel or unleavened bread may never be known.
		Beer may have been discovered through stewing sprouted bread, heating sprouted gruel, or unintentionally cooking grains that were stored in a damp place.
		The fermented gruel could then be consumed, or the liquid could be drawn off as beer and the remaining grains and yeast mixed with wheat flour to make a leavened bread.

	PCWorld.com - New Worm Poses as Microsoft Patch
		The new worm, dubbed Gruel, is a mass-mailing worm that masquerades as a Windows software patch from Microsoft and as a virus-removal tool from Symantec, according to an alert from TruSecure.
		While the number of infections is still low, Gruel has a number of characteristics that have allowed other worms to successfully spread in recent months, Hughes says.
		Unlike other worms, however, Gruel does not spread over shared folders on local area networks, he says.

	Promotion of oral rehydration therapy comparing a home-made rice-powder gruel and oral rehydration salts
		The calculated osmolarity of the rice gruel with the largest concentration of sugar in the present study was 247 mOsm/L. The proportion of mothers who thought that the beverage had been helpful in stopping diarrhoea was significantly higher for those who used RBG (25%) than for those who used ORS (14%, p <.05).
		The wide household availability of the rice powder required to prepare the gruel makes it a solution that is fed earlier to the diarrhoea-affected child, facilitates its use long enough during the episode, and guarantees sustainability of the intervention at the community level.
		In summary, the promotion of oral hydration therapy relying on rice gruel is a sound intervention for preventing and treating dehydration due to acute diarrhoea in Mexico and should be preferred over the promotion of prepackaged ORS at the home level.

	Idaho Observer: It's Cool to Eat Gruel!
		Our goal is to get good food in the children every day, and we want them to start with a breakfast rich in nutrients, especially the nutrients children need to develop and keep their mental and physical health.
		Although gruel is our focus, we would also like the bacon-and-egg breakfast with whole-grain toast or muffins served more often as well, both breakfasts adding to the health rather than subtracting from it as most boxed cereals, highly refined carbohydrate pancakes, waffles and pastries and other popular foods do.
		The only hurdle in regard to this gruel is having the grain grinder to grind the grain and a coffee bean grinder to grind the flax seed.

		The commentary informs us that bone-crushing was finally discontinued following the 1845 scandal at Andover workhouse, Hampshire, when inmates were left so hungry by staff stealing their food that they had resorted to fighting over decaying shreds of meat left on the bones.
		Modern nutritionists say that the diet of boiled meat and potatoes, with gruel on alternate days, would be 'sufficient' (although for what they do not say).
		Children would have accounted for about half of the inhabitants, and while most would have been orphaned or disowned, the remainder would have been separated from parents living in another section who, as 'undeserving poor', were considered a bad influence.

		In fact, the definition of gruel as punishment is chiefly a British usage, while the edible reference is derived from the same root as the Germanic "grout" referring to a coarse meal or plaster.
		Honest wide scope integration would lead one to identify the context and usage of the word (gruel as porridge) and use this conceptual knowledge to override the emotional judgment.
