Are you left-handed?

 

[Philthy_Phil]

Are you left-handed?

Are you a tranny faggot?

Of course you are.

 

[HisArpy]

Are you left-handed?

Ambidextrous.

Which basically means I can simultaneously stab someone and take detailed notes while I'm doing it without worrying that I'm going to get my tablet bloody. Not that I would ever do that.

Why?

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Ambidextrous. Why?

Spoon placement.

 

[HisArpy]

Spoon placement.

Now you've gone and made me sensitive enough that I'll probably stop putting serving bowls in the shot.

Besides, dessert placement is much much MUCH more critical.

 

[HisArpy]

The meal was really good but there was a problem with yesterday's Diablo sauce. I opened a new bottle of ground chili pepper to use in the sauce but instead of the usual heat and spicy taste the sauce this time was slightly horseradish forward. Almost like I forgot the chili powder. Which has happened in the past but not this time.

I'm going to check the chili powder to see if it's lost its bite. I'll replace it if it has. No one likes colored sawdust instead of chili powder.

Don’t be sensitive. I was simply paying attention. I find your presentation to be outstanding. I usually slap my crap on a plate and dig in. The diner does better than I do. Your presentation was so good that dessert would get eaten first.

I suppose it is possible that they change the ingredients. I suppose it is also possible that they put the wrong stuff in the jar you bought. Good luck on finding a solution.

Most folks who say they're paying attention would have dinged me on the placement of the knife; it should be to the right of the plate.

But, like most I don't really care. It goes on the side closest to the silverware drawer.

The thing I wanna know is why am I the only one posting pics of food?

My luck means it's probably plain flour colored with the Red D&C #3 that was banned last year. They gotta use it somewhere...

Well, yes, there was the knife placement, too. I also get that most people fold and place the napkin and put all the silverware on it, so that sort of thing doesn’t much matter unless you’re having the queen over for tea.

Oh wait, she died.

So I guess it really doesn’t matter now.

Besides, closest to the silverware drawer is as sensible as any explanation available.

Tea is breakfast and interlopers between me, peace and quiet, and my danish usually see the grumpier side of me. So, no napkin, use your dam sleeve if you're that messy.

Oh wait, she died.

Her Radiant Majesty is very much alive and glowing, thank you very much. Oh wait, you mean that old lady with the Corgi...

<-- Can sometimes be lazy like regular folks. Especially if there's a good reason.


Not sure this morning about what's on the menu for next week. I could do sausage and shrimp paella. Or chicken marsala. Or...?

You turned up your nose at my casserole recipe. I, on the other hand, am enjoying the last one I cranked out.

This one has hot Italian sausage. I prefer it to tuna casseroles even though I like tuna.

 

[HisArpy]

I'm still waiting on divine inspiration as to next Sunday's menu.

My eye was caught by stuffed pasta shells in a vegetarian ragu with poached pears but I'm not sure if I want to make that the Sunday before Easter.

 

[SandraMaus]

Rose wine

There's a palm oil joke lurking there, right below the surface . . . .

 

[Chernosoth]

I put the fork in the food on the plate.

Where there's meat there's a cat, so the cat pics are stored elsewhere.

So you're saying I need to make something Morrocan for this Sunday?

 

[Wat_Tyler]

I don't know much about Morrocans, but there was that French battleship that took a lickin'.

At this junction, I'm not favoring anything middle eastern. It's spring and I'm looking for light and tasty. So, instead, I've pretty much decided on Garlic Shrimp with creamy Polenta and Lemon tarts. The only real question is whether I use pastry or graham cracker crust for the tarts.

I'd go with pastry crusts, but that's how I roll.


I should go to the corner and score one of their key lime pies. They do a damned fine job with them.


I did try a Lebanese place last Friday. It was good but not quite as good as the Turkish place in Weaseltown. But I'm not going to Weasel town any more, so there's that.
