Silversea Water Cooler: Welcome! Part Five

[silkismom]

Could it be something like worchestershire (SP) sauce?

Spins. What blows my mind is that when I graduated from Medical School, my father was younger than I am now. And I thought he was ancient back then.

[QueSeraSera]

Yes, same here.  It is weird, and I think back on my folks when they were my age now and despair the missed opportunities to be with them, talk with them, thank them - always work to do, some hobby, etc.  Thank goodness for the holiday memories.

 

Sad that this year many families can't even have those.

OK Chas...I love this one!  I hit the "funny" button and I really wanted to hit the "exactly so" button (if it had existed).  🥰

And we are all looking at the others, thinking, oh well I can't be as old as that.

 

The Maggi sauce does sound a bit like Worcestershire sauce (we just call it 'Wusster')  and my cheap and quick lunch is grill one side of fairly thick bread, butter the other and add  strong Cheddar you have sliced  and a liberal sprinkle of Lea and Perrins (the makers of said sauce) and grill until bubbly.  Crude but Tasty.

Just had a feeling of deja vu - Covid brain is telling me that I have put this 'recipe' for mock Rarebit on here before!  My memory is definitely going down the nick, could just be old age but I like to blame the virus.

Lola, you have shared the recipe before but it sounds just as good the second time. I'm sure I've posted the same thing twice on plenty of occasons.

 

We also have Lea & Perrins; the genre is similar to Maggi but the flavor profile is different. L&P is vinegar-based and Maggi isn't. But you can certainly use them similarly.

Greetings Coolers!

 

Today's funny.....

 

 

Have a great safe day all!

Now that the daily business is out of the way I want to share my slice of joy from last evening.  There is a wonderful restaurant in our little town that we love to pieces.  When the virus closed everything down the chef owner of this restaurant decided not to switch to a take out option.  Instead he baked bread and made soup for our local food bank.  He is a gifted chef and a very humble soul.  When restaurants were allowed to open in July he scaled his seating down to between 14 and 16 diners (with social distancing strictly adhered to) and opened for two seatings of dinner on either Thursday, Friday or Saturday evenings with a set menu and wine pairing option.  The menu changes once a month.  Last night was our third visit to this magical place.

 

For this meal the chef owner resourced his ingredients from local farms (vegetable, fruit, meat and cheese) and a local winery.  His menu lists the sources of the ingredients and not the name of the dish.  He provided a play by play as each of the 7 courses came from the kitchen.  Here is the menu.....

 

Here is the charcuterie with elk (bottom layer), pork pate (next layer left), boar (next level right) served with Falanghina from Puglia.

 

Here is the parsnip, sweet corn and pear soup served with a Gruner from Austria.

 

Beet Salad served with a Viognier from France.

 

Escargot and mushrooms in puff pastry served with a Pinot Noir from KIN (local winery).

 

Venison and potato and mixed veg served with a Shiraz from Australia.

 

Sherbet made with KIN Sparkling and meringue.

 

Pumpkin ice and ginger cake served with Maple liqueur from Quebec.

 

We were delightfully full and managed the 30 minute walk back home.  Can't wait for the November menu!

Will be a "good boy" and skip on the Halloween candy, etc.  Not wearing any masks, either!!!  My regular look is scary enough.  

 

THANKS!  Enjoy!  Terry in Ohio

To clarify, meant to say I am not wearing a full-face Halloween "character" mask such Batman, the Joker, a vampire, etc.  Always wear the regular mask to guard against Covid.    Yes, am mostly a "good" boy!!??

 

THANKS!  Enjoy!  Terry in Ohio

I'm with you there Chas!  A vast number of new ideas!  COVID has reminded me that "being good" will not save my sorry ass.  😄

Its only cause she cares about you Terry 🙂.  I figured that's what you meant but am glad Spins gave you a chance to clarify.

 

BTW, I agree with Spins' ideas a few pages back that this year, instead of falling back for DST, we fall forward to 2021 ASAP, early November if possible.  2021 just got to be better.
