So Letitia sang Climb Every Mountain as an encore for the
impresario, who teared up as he always does, which is sort
of weird; this time she did, too, though as she's done this
for him several times, she was afraid that she'd laugh in
the middle of it. Perhaps it's that Patrick had a serious
infection this spring and was in an induced coma for four
weeks, and people have the feeling that his concert series
may be coming to an end soon.
Realizing mortality can do that...
Truth that Patrick is realizing his own mortality, as by
all accounts he is not his usual ebullient self, but more
other people are realizing his mortality, not necessarily so
much their own.
In the last week I've only once heard a car go by
saying BOOMPA BOOMPA BOOMPA. The French, though they
may have their shortcomings, have a lot to teach us.
Make that twice - there was a low-slung black fancy car in
one of the less nice neighborhoods of Ghent that could be
heard for blocks around.
We don't have the boomboxes on wheels up at the Pond, either... :)
A respite from all things civilization.
retirement community, the catch being that they
think I'm already dead.
At some point, you might want to disabuse them of that notion... ;)
Possibly; I might get around to it before I die.
And afterwards, it wouldn't really matter...
I'm hoping it doesn't matter anyway.
Subversive. Like Francois de Larochefoucauld the eighth
or ninth, who was Louis's bestie and warned him about
the Revolution; and the day after sending the king off
became president of the National Assembly.
Not quite on that scale, anyway... (G)
It's interesting to think what was in his mind when he
supervised his former bestie being led to the scaffold.
else, like FIDO's Cookbook, also mostly for fun.
Is that something actually published....?
Yeah. A fairly large Samizdat that was a giveaway
at I think the first Clam Crawl.
So no longer available... and, as I surmised, before my time....
There might be a text file of it someplace, but
where who knows.
I wonder if there's anything heinous about the
oxidized form. Like causes all the diseases that
the fresh stuff is supposed to prevent.
Probably not... just tastes nasty when burbed back, and smells off when
used topically... ;)
Oxided lots of things are implicated in cancers of
various sorts as well as heart plaque buildup ahd
whatever. That's the point of antioxidants. When
the antioxidants oxidize, it's a case of quis
custodiet ipsos custodies, physician heal thyself,
and so on.
... Best way to get rid of kitchen odors: Eat out. - Phyllis Diller
Okay. But some of us actually like kitchen odors.
Kitchen odors don't really bother me, either... I have heard discussion
here, though, of certain kitchen odors of particular foods being less desireable... ;)
For me, fish is a no-no, and fried things are a
relative no-no. Fried fish, of course, is the worst.
That's what restaurants are for.

Title: PAN FRIED BLACK BASS WITH MAITRE D'HOTEL SAUCE
Categories: Seafood
Yield: 4 servings
----------------------------MAITRE D"HOTEL
SAUCE----------------------------
1/2 Clove garlic, smashed 1 tb Lemon juice
1/4 c Butter 1/8 ts Pepper
1/2 ts Salt 1 tb Finely minced parsley
----------------------------------THE
FISH----------------------------------
1/4 c Yellow cornmeal 1/4 c Flour
4 1-lb. bass, dressed and 4 tb Butter
And skinned Salt and fresh pepper
This recipe includes a very simple sauce that enhances sauteed, broiled
or
baked fish. It can be made in camp if you brought parsley and usually
impresses any old "fried fish angler."
Make the sauce first.
In a bowl set the butter out to soften. Then cream it with a fork and
then a spoon until it is light and fluffy. Work in the salt and pepper.
Mix the smashed garlic and the lemon juice, then work this liquid into
the butter. Take a bit of time to do this.
Mix in the parsley and serve in a gravy boat with a spoon.
Pan fry the bass remembering to brown the fish on both sides but not to
over cook.
Serve hot on hot plates and pass the sauce.
