eventful egging and a $.50 trick to level the egg

stike

that's "50 cents", to level the egg. but first, my comical event.

filled the egg with lump for a longish, higher heat cook cook (paella).

you know what a lot of fresh lump means, of course. well. stike got a nice flashback. not your ordinary one either. when i shut my eyes in reflex, the fireball melted my eyelashes shut. hahaha

well, almost shut.

they are very short, looks very odd. thank god all my biz is via email.

second event... last night, had dinner at a fellow egg-owner's place. as always, top notch food and drink. we ate a farm-raised (by her dad) devon heirloom beef roast. four ribs, bone in. seared and then roasted til 125. good god. excellent. that was with new potatoes roasted with white truffle oil, maple carrots, and a pizza appetizer of thin sliced onion on a great home made crust.

we had three bottles of wine, and the cumulative ages of the vintages totaled 94 years. i'm now drinking a 10 dollar bottle of plonk which pales by comparison.

great dinner and conversation.

oh. how to level your egg for 50 cents.
i put two quarters between the ceramic foot and the egg, and tipped it enough forward to effect a level cook for the paella. now the broth doesn't spill over. it may only cost you 25 cents, but could go as high as $1

forgot to mention the olive oil cake. my wife pronounced it her favorite cake ever, and she had what she swears to me was the only "second piece of cake' that she has ever had in her life.

lemon, almond, sugar, and blood-orange olive oil (plus some extra virgin). beautiful.

I can only figure 75 cents.

You'd get a much better cook if you'd use some-a them new presidential dollars... Proof 70s work best...

Make sure you don't use Euro's. Dern exchange rate will kill you. Never seen it so bad.

You could use the artificial lashes until the real ones grow back.

You could have a Diana Ross-and-the-Supremes look going on!

stike

you mean "even more of a" diana ross look going on.

missed you yesterday. thought you might swing by for some lilac wood. i allowed a racoon about a ten minute headstart going thru my trash because i thought it was "just bob looking for the lilac wood".

with all the wind we had, the trash ended up in my neighbor's yard anyway.

you crack me up, man!
