 supernal
\soo-PUR-nuhl\, adjective:
1. Being in or coming from the heavens or a higher place or region.
2. Relating or belonging to things above; celestial; heavenly.

Supernal."

 Cooking

Wrap your meat in fresh grass. Tie the grass off using natural
cordage, completely covering the meat. Cover the package in at about
3 cm (1") of wet clay or mud with no grass showing through. Place
the package on a deep bed of embers and build a fire above.
A good sized fish

Squeezing a Lemon: Heat the lemon over the fire for your fish
to help release the juices.
