If there is such a thing, my Father died the right way. He had a full life, did all that he wanted to, nothing left on any list, all paperwork was in order and he was playing tennis up until 3 weeks before his passing. He went to hospital and was playing on the great tennis court in the sky 7 days later.
Do I think about him? Of course. Do I miss him? Absolutely. Am I sad? No, it was his time and I'm glad that he got his wish. We were at his side when he took his last breath.
He had recently become a foodie after Mom had died and was really enthusiastic in the kitchen.
That is really great, Cal, and I am glad he/you had such a good experience!
My Pa spent his last year in a bad place; pain and lost faculties, medical ****-ups and family feuds. Yuk!

On a happier note, I made egg dosas for lunch today and they were delicious. Never had them before but saw a YouTube video of street vendors making them.
What a fantastic idea! God bless the Italian people and their wonderful adopted-grandparent tradition.
Yes that's the name I was looking for : it's like a drug !
The capers, the Ketchup (I putt some without knowing if it's good in the receipe, I believe it's a modern improvement : Worcestershire sauce + ketchup + a little tobaccoe = paradise !
I am reminded of the little yellow signs from the Royal Automotive Club in Sarlat La Caneda informing Brit drivers to keep to the right.
One of the best goose-livers I ever et was in Les Eyzies, but the place seems to have disappeared. Second best was in St. Emillion.
Apropos of Martinez --- there was a profile tucked into Saturday's New York Times. Good luck.
They can be equally sad as well. Men being more funny most of the time than the women gay equivalent, at least this my experience. But I really think funny people are like they are not because their sexual behavior... but more because of a way to transvestite the reality...😎
Putt too much people togethers you have more a chance to have a grup of fool than a sex party ! That's why I believe monkeys are more funny in grup than hooligans ! But the ones from Ireland this week end : very funny and good people whom helped to change a tyre of a car to help people in pain in a street of Paris... saw that in TV this week-end, defintly funny 😀
Is it not nice to drive slowly around the little roads of les Eyzies, jumping from a castle to a grottes then going towards Sarlat after.... Defintly a good place to live ! A lot of English also further towards Eymet... but this is not the Dordogne anymore ! While being close (less 100 km) the weather is better towards les EYzies, it becommes rapidly dryer towards the South... I prefer the corezian causse and around Brive la Gaillarde !
Martinez, our last stalinian Che Guevera, lol ! Luckilly they don't really show what frenchs are thinking but are a minority with advantages whom can block everybody !
This is France, you strike when you have advantages, notice in Germany they have more strikes than us the last year !

I have done some experimenting with the combo cook. The combo cycling doesn't start until the oven warms up and it warms very quickly, so I guess you just put your roast (or WHY) in when it's cold, push the button and walk away. Hopefully I will have a chance to do more experimenting soon.
Nah, I'm not cruel like that. I usually use a vacuum cleaner to suck most of the water off then finish them in the dryer.
wassup with those funky toes - fashion victim from pointy stilletos?
maybe if the cat was one of these she's see it?
seriously, PETA or the SPCA should have been alerted on this one - not only a tattoo, but pierced ear - really ? whale oil, etc , indeed.

Tonight, in no particular order, as we are still a few hours from dinner time and I'm looking to have a nice big glass of something rum inspired beforehand, we have:
Onion maple soup with snap peas and beans
Jellyfish and cucumber salad
Smoked Sockeye
Pickled pork tongue
Carpaccio
Portabellas (to be grilled)
