I just eat whatever cook serves. Breakfast was pretty simple this morning: a choice of cereals, pastry basket, kippers with a poached egg, full English (just the standards - eggs to order, bacon, herb sausage, black pudding, white pudding, grilled tomatoes, mushrooms, grilled lambs kidneys, fried bread, buttered beans), followed by toast and marmalade, washed down with freshly squeezed orange juice. Oh, and coffee. So important. Just a normal 'breakfast', you know, whatever one's finds in the chafing dishes plus the eggs. So 'breakfast', does that count as one food item?
All flying cars that have been built have been shit as a car and shit as a plane. The only variations is how much the shit leans towards the car functionality or the plane functionality.
Religion and sex are powerplaysManipulate the people for the money they paySelling skin, selling GodThe numbers look the same on their credit cardsPoliticians say no to drugsWhile we pay for wars in South America
Fighting fire with empty wordsWhile the banks get fatAnd the poor stay poorAnd the rich get richAnd the cops get paidTo look awayAs the one percent rules America
The shoes thing works with expensive dress shoes as well. I knew a guy who wore fairly high end suits and handmade shoes to work. His cobbler told him to always get two pairs and they'll last a lot longer if you alternate them so they get a rest day than if you buy one pair at a time and use them daily.
Almost every adult in the UK learns on manual - I've known about three people in my life who learned on automatic and are only licensed to drive automatics - but with the rise of electric cars (and an increase in automatics generally) I wonder if my kids will learn.
What I never learned, but which my parents did was exactly when and to use the choke on a car. I know fuel injection made chokes unnecessary and I've never driven a car that had one.
"You wanna go down Three Oak lane, I forget what its 'proper' name is, but there used to be a farm there called Three Oak Farm, so that's what we all call the lane round here. 'Course the farm's gone. And so have the oaks. Anyway, go along there until you get to the field where the unexploded bomb was found back in '68, and turn right. Then left past the field where the cows got sick last year. If you reach shagger's hill, you've gone too far. Now there's a ford down that way, so you can't miss it. Except, I suppose, in this weather since it hasn't rained in a month and the ford's probably dried up. Most important thing though, you don't want to start from here."
You should become a cabbie in London. They all have to memorise 320 routes, 25,000 streets and 20,000 places of interest, e.g. hotels, stations, tourist attractions and so on. It's called The Knowledge. There's some evidence that mastering The Knowledge actually alters the structure of the brain!
Way back in the 80s I knew a guy who scored all films by adding up the number of bare breasts and explosions. He said 3 was a minimum score for a good film.
As part of the question I did say: "What are your best economical recipes that aren’t just beans, chickpeas, and rice? Meals you actively looks forward to, rather than just a budget way of getting calories inside you?"
I do cook beans and rice, those meals are already in my rotation, I just don't feel I need more beans and rice recipes. I'll give the eggplant recipe a go.
