For almost a year I have been mentioning about some research that I was doing for an essay. The good news is that the essay is about Outlander and it will be published this spring. I do not have a specific date for it. However, I can provide a link to the anthology where it […]
Continue readingCrazy about Cocoa and Dark Chocolate
I decided to write this post after practicing a song on the keyboard with my youngest son. The name of the song is “Chocolate”, and it is a catchy tune for a four-year old. I am still singing it in my head – “. . . yummy, yummy chocolate.” The truth is that I do […]
Continue readingOutlander: Symbolism of the Blue Color, How It Relates to Claire, and Jamie’s Ghost
This post is an idea that came to me while discussing Dragonfly in Amber on Twitter. The association between Claire and the blue color was brought up to me by one of the ladies who manages Outlander Central. Since then, I decided to delve further into this topic. The featured image is a “Montana Sapphire” […]
Continue readingOutlander: Symbolism of Jamie’s Color
The color associated with Jamie is red. One of my favorite lines in regards to Jamie’s coloring is how the old fortuneteller in Paris describes him in A Breath of Snow and Ashes. “T’es un chat, toi,” the old woman had remarked, in tones of malicious interest. “You’re a cat, you. A little red cat.” […]

Different colors are used throughout the series in reference to both Claire and Jamie. This post is actually a continuation of a former one, White Animals and the King of Ireland, in which I detailed Claire’s association with mainly white animals.

However, my personal preference is to wear them in rich earthy tones, such a tobacco brown, caramel, rust, ochre and olive green. Here are some affordable selections in green olive, which is a colour that does not look great on me. […]

This post is an addendum to a former one, Malva’s Mother as a Time-Traveler, which I considered hypothetical. First, I exposed two possible explanations for Malva’s mother background. She is a person from the eighteenth century with good observation skills who was able to develop a substance similar to ether. She is a time-traveler with similar […]

Growing up with two older brothers gave me an appreciation for science fiction and fantasy movies. As a result, we are all fans of Star Wars in my family. Yesterday I went to see Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and I enjoyed watching it. Of course, my brothers started to discuss the different theories that […]
Continue readingOutlander: Roger MacKenzie’s Spirit Animal (Speculation)
This is my last Outlander post for the year. The information in this post was originally written for an essay about Jamie, Claire and Roger. However, while doing my edits, I realized that it was not a requirement for this information to be incorporated into the aforementioned essay. I will be speculating about Roger MacKenzie’s […]
Continue readingOutlander: An Interview with the Gaelic Consultant, Àdhamh Ó Broin
As a proud member of the Àdhamh Ó Broinies and as a linguistic enthusiast, I was given the opportunity to formulate some questions for Àdhamh Ó Broin. I had the pleasure of meeting Àdhamh at the Outlandish Gathering in Quebec City. He is exceptionally impressive due to his music talent and his knowledge of languages. Some of the questions […]
