By the way, what’s the etymology behind the word “cure,” and why do we use it for cooking meat and the like?
Click to expand...
It’s also used in non food ways like curing rubber.
Maybe it was to do with taking care and eliminating a problem. Meat would’ve been a problem if it was not cured?
@Progster is a whiz at this kind of thing. I mean word meanings, etymology etc., not curing meat.
A quote from online mentions to take care of..
“typically they are connected instead to words for "make whole" or "tend to" or even "conjurer." French guérir (with Italian guarir, Old Spanish guarir) is from a Germanic verb stem also found in in Gothic warjan, Old English wearian "ward off, prevent, defend"

I have a random question; since I do not use the car much during winter - I can walk to the shops,
would running it for 10 minutes while it’s sitting in the garage help keep the battery and the various fluids circulating enough to keep it basically healthy?
