Subj: 49 Sand Crabs

Soft shelled ones got bitten in half and eaten right on the
beach!

Were they briny and sweet and sort of amaebiish?

Yeah. They tasted briny and sweet and crabby but very mild. They
were improved by shelling and frying in butter and served with
lemon.

I thought I might have invented a new cocktail today but when I
googled the ingredients it turned out to be just a slight
variation on somebody else's prior discovery.

By now pretty much every combination whether tasty or idiotic
has no doubt been stumbled on, photographed, and written about.

It seems so.

My Procrastination Cocktail

What was your working title?

I didn't have one.

500 g leek
100 g quick rice

Why take a good leek and ruin it?

I dislike parboiled and instant rice as much as quick and instant
oats. Give me the real stuff every time.

Jim is much more the authority on mixed drinks.

I am but a young grasshopper in the study of cocktail artistry.

Subj: 85 Birthday things

sea salt dark chocolate caramels [...] conform to current popular
tastes.

A fad I am not fond of.

Subj: 100 what I had last night

Another possible conversation starter -what have we eaten
lately that was especially good or especially nasty.

Three nice things at our house this past week:

-1- roast leg of lamb, rubbed first with olive oil, then a spice
mix of salt, black pepper, mustard powder, garlic powder, ground bay
leaves and thyme, done medium rare and served "au jus".

-2- homemade chokecherry jelly (from Raine). I hadn't had this since
I was a kid. It's lovely stuff.

-3- a potato chowder made with a stock and the meaty bits from arctic
char heads, backbones and tails.

vitamin C tablet is the easiest way to get C in the diet.

she no doubt gets enough from bloody rare meat, which has more
than most people give it credit for.

Enough that the Inuit and Dene people could go 10 months without any fruit
and vegetables at all in the old days and remain healthy.

Subj: 109 what I had yesterday

Modelo Especial for him and Natty Daddy for me.

Now there's a switch! He's drinking better beer than you.


Cheers

Jim


... It's absurd how fast a pint of that can disappear.
