What did you cook or eat today (November 2024)

I learned that a long time ago, with respect to cocktails.
Do not offer to be the bartender, with a line of boozes behind you. Nowadays, I pick a single cocktail ahead of time, and I make a pitcher of that.
At my favorite (Dayton area) brew room:
A huuuuge pile of fries, with chipotle ketchup, sage pesto, and creamy parm for dipping.
I must lodge a complaint - when I came in, it was me, two bartenders, and one regular…big college football game today (Ohio St. v Indiana U.), so they have it up on the single muted TV over the bar (a single TV is a big clue this isn’t a sports bar, as sports bars will have a dozen or more, tuned to every sports channel imaginable).
Halfway through my relaxation time, two 20-something knuckleheads skipped in, and now they’re yelling their fool heads off for every single <bleeping> play.
They’re even trying to engage me with the sportsball talk. Oh, how you’re mistaken, Noel and Liam, or whatever your stupid names are! You’ve killed the whole quiet vibe of the bar!
Does this look like a man who wants to talk about “the big game?!” I think not!!!
F**k off already!

Nice looking fries (and hat) though!
Yer me too. I’ll assemble the components for two cocktails, one short, strong and usually sweetish and one long weaker and drier.
But I’m new to pizza making. Wasn’t worth the bother until getting the de-glutenised wheat flour, I’m on a learning
You could always leave out the rice...Aargh my eyes
Thanks! It’s a Kangol (which became the preferred noggin accessory for the hip-hop community), and I bought it in 1992 in Oxford, so I could have looked at Noel and Liam and said, “Shut it! I’ve got hats older than you…including this one!”

The thought leaves me feeling decidedly queasy.
Or is it just that the cider is a few days old now?

No hat because it wouldn’t fair well under a helmet and surprise surprise I don’t look anything like the model but the culottes will be handy on the mobike
Splendid! I trust there are curry leaves in the curry as well as layed decoratively across the top.

Pizza.
Only remembered to take a pic of two.

And my pizza which I dared to try pineapple on half of -
Can’t say I found the pineapple added or detracted anything!

Would you believe I missed nearly $50 is groceries while I was out earlier today?
That meant I had to run into town to grab those…and I brought food home for supper:
I’m starting a new genre of meal presentation - gonzo food styling. It stresses the gritty realism of eating during the hectic life of a gadabout.

Thank you!
I called the ambassador's secretary on Wednesday to see if there was a curry leaf plant in the residence. She said yes, feel free to use them. When I finally arrived, ( 90 minutes late thanks to 2 cancelled taxis and a lorry with a broken axle in the lane that leads to my house
)I was greeted by the ambassador, first secretary, second secretary, head of chancery and chargé d'affairs. (SH**! I thought, now I'm in trouble)
" So sorry I'm a bit late, ambassador..."
" Don't worry, it's Friday. Everyone is late today!"
His wife came out and said :
"Would you like to go to the kitchen first, or the curry plant?"
( I am being serious for once)Off we went to the curry plant which was 2 mts tall. In heaven. The wonderful lady even told me which leaves to pick. Then, when I got in the kitchen, the head of security was there and he guided me through "how to fry curry leaves in ghee"
So to belatedly answer your question - yes, the curry leaves were in there!
I have to admit, it was one of the most enjoyable events I've ever done.
