About The Partially Examined Life. 1  The Partially Examined Life is a philosophy podcast by some guys who were at one point set on doing philosophy for a living but then thought better of it. Each episode, we pick a text and chat about it with some balance between insight and flippancy.
Ratatouille originated in the area around present day Occitan ProvenÃ§a (French: Provence) & NiÃ§a (French: Nice, Occitan: NiÃ§a); the Catalan xamfaina and the Majorcantombet are versions of the same dish. It is a traditional French ProvenÃ§al stewed vegetable dish, originating in Nice. The full name of the dish is ratatouille niÃ§oise.
The best-known rat species are the black rat (Rattus rattus) and the brown rat (Rattus norvegicus). The group is generally known as the Old World rats or true rats, and originated in Asia. Rats are bigger than most Old World mice, which are their relatives, but seldom weigh over 500 grams (1.1 lb) in the wild.
