Partner dislikes anything smoked so we have unsmoked bacon.
I have to indulge in smoked salmon elsewhere...

They'd only deep-fry it, thobut.

(I'm still trying to work out if it's nice or not.  Haven't been interested in food for over a week.)

Well that's the more blunt way of putting it but as usual he's dead right.

Much though I like CAEK, I think making and eating effigies of Small Children ghoulish.

Agreed.  Not really an optimal medium for that sort of artwork.

Eating effigies of small children should be restricted to the traditional cyclists' / Fourth Doctor favourite, which aren't really that anthropomorphic anyway.

I can hear the playgroup now: "I want his head!" "Give Jimmy his arse, he's a -" "George, don't do that."

At Scouts on Friday we did things about Korea, both N & S. I asked the Young People if they were aware of the fine film actor Steven Seagal. They were not, so once I'd explained who he was I then had to explain the film "Under Siege". (Stay with me, I'm getting to the point.)  In this fine celluloid excursion Bad Things happen and misc. naval bods are gathered in an ops room. One of them exclaims that they're "in deep kimchi".  I explain to the Young People how being "in deep kimchi" is US military way of saying "in deep trouble" and then explain what kimchi is. It's a korean dish made of fermented cabbage and radishes with, in this case, chilli powder and garlic.   Then we tasted some.

It wasn't really worth the wait.

Fired up my old Europiccola, idle for over a year, put some Bob-a-Link in the grinder and managed to pull a perfect centimetre-deep ristretto on just the second go - the kind that sings out "another one, quick!" as it slides down.  I forebore, though, 14 grammes of coffee for a single cup being somewhat strong.

Feeling sorta trembly now. Wonder why...

On a whim, got some 'seafood sticks' from a jolly well known supermarket.

OMFG! FUCKING HELL! THAT WAS RANK!  :sick: :sick: :sick:

How nasty? #2 cat gave it a snif and walked off. #1 cat* tucked in then gave everyone fish breath for the rest of the evening**


*#1 cat is a dick.

**involving lots of unnecessary 'in yer face' sharing, sitting on shoulder 'watcha doin', nose to nose, stuff like that.

With one exception, all the clementines and mandarins we've bought this winter have had pinkish-orange pith and mushy centre stems inside. They also smell and taste different from the way they did in earlier years, although we did have a few lots of pink-pith ones last year. I find the smell repulsive; missus eats them quite happily (and just across the table from me :sick: ).

Me: they're infected
Missus: it's the variety
Me: in two different subspecies/varieties/whatever ?

Anyone else noticed this?

Mrs n very helpfully reminded me that I hadn't decanted last autumn's sloe gin. So that made a nice change from staring at the bloody snow. It's good too!

There's a well known poem (so well known I can't remember anything else about it) about taking plums from someone's fridge:
They were delicious
And so cold.

I've never felt the attraction of coldness in summer, or even autumnal, fruit, but apples don't come better than a Coxes taken from a backpack and eaten at just above zero.

OTOH one of the best bits of cheese I've ever eaten had been riding in the side pocket of a rucksack for 3 days in hot weather.

All we need is to find a way to combine the two different sorts of weather at the same time.

I know what you mean, but I would say Cox's are at their best eaten straight after picking off the tree in my garden at the point of perfect ripeness on a warm late-summer's day.

Both are true IMHO: anything (almost) eaten when you're really hungry tastes extra-good and there's nothing that can surpass properly tree-ripened fresh fruit.

Forgive me

they were delicious
