Hey, #yyj — the SD61 jerks are not complying with the decades-long discounting that ensures the tradition of m the Moss Street Market running indoors this year. Contact your elected reps & knock some heads.

The oligarchy can still learn new lessons. Apparently tech is now complaining that people are hanging onto their devices too long. (Posted on an iPhone 13.)

Every American should learn about the land mines and unexploded ordnance left by their governments in Laos & Cambodia. It’s still there even NOW, nearly 3 generations later.
Bourdain’s quote is true. I’ve been to Cambodia. A man with a land-mine melted face will always be burned in my brain.

It is ILLEGAL to fly a drone in Canadian national parks.
I love how hard they clamped down on an influencer.
Like, do not fuck with Parks Canada, man. They do not play.

Here’s the pureed soup (it’s actually amazing — I’ve never made small batch soup like this) and a roast beef sandwich — homegrown tomato, homemade bread & mayo.
Mixed the mayo with cracked pepper & horseradish. It’s terrific on beef sandwiches.

Tonight is the night I finally have the roast beef sandwich I’ve been craving. It’ll be A Lot.
So I’m making a beautiful but simple small pot of veggie soup — maybe two bowls.
I have leftover pizza sauce I made with my own tomatoes, stock. Vermouth. It’ll be a nice umami tomato soup & sandwich.

Today is the first day of work with my fancy new timer for the “pomodoro” method of working 25 minutes without stopping then 5 min of free time.
I realized that any time I have to use a switch or open my phone, I get distraction, but my new timer is a gravity timer — turn it and it starts.

I don’t really follow this exactly but it’s what I wrote down when she showed me.
Half your tomatoes and grate on a grater until you hit the skin I put my skins in the freezer for making soup stock.

This is how it’s served. It’s like shakshuka but all North African flavours.
The avocado is mashed with cumin and salt, that’s Greek yogurt. Both were always with the eggs at my Moroccan guest house. Olive oil on the toast, as one would in Morocco.
Zahra, the lady there, taught me this.

Another reason I missed the sunrise is I’ve been dying to make this breakfast. I needed bread — which I finally made last night.
Berber eggs from Morocco. Fresh ginger & garlic, Kashmiri chili powder, cumin, turmeric, salt.
Sauté in oil for a minute, add tomato, cook 20 min, then poach eggs in.

I’m lucky I know a about the science of rising bread. I freaked out a bit last night because my bread took over two hours to rise. This recipe (gluten free) rises normally in 45-50 minutes.
But my house temp was only 19°C, not the usual 22. So, I waited. It turned out fine. Not GREAT, but fine.

I dunno if this is 100% accurate but I bet not far off.
This is my town. It’s currently 2:30am & it’s 10° C or 51°F. (But this is a warm rain spell. It doesn’t get very cold here until later in December, really.)
We only get frost a couple times a year, ditto snow — if at all. Some years, no.

All right. Turned out nice.
I’ve got potatoes parmentier (basically fancy hash browns), a carrot-butter puree, sherry-mushroom sauce, and a roast beef, with homemade pickled beets.
The thread and the roast beef recipe ($20 for for a sirloin tip 2.5-pound roast — good budget cut for roasting). 🍽️🍜

As soon as the meat comes out, the plan is it will need 15-20 to rest and then BOOM, the mushrooms go into the same pan.
Then it’s some hoopla with shallots, sherry, stock, butter, yada yada. As one does.
Oh. It’s out. Onward!

This is 3/4 my dinner now.
The potatoes parmentier are going in and the roast is already in there.
My carrots don’t need to go on until the roast is about to come out. They’ll be a puree. Just cook off the water, puree. So easy.

Oh, hello, flavour.
I hate when rosemary falls off stuff so I’m trying a mortar and pestle approach. There are worst things than having a herb crust. 👀
This is 5 cloves of garlic, black and white pepper, rosemary, thyme, and I’ll add a lot more salt. 🧂

There ya go. Salsa verde in about 20 minutes. I like to use white vinegar in mine so the other stuff shines. Lime’s okay.
I tweak with some salt, pinch of sugar & MSG sometimes.
BEST AVOCADO CREMA EVER?
50/50 of this stuff and an avocado, blitzed. Put THAT on your tacos, baby.
