Are they at least pickled beets?
Don't they have wonderful pickled cucumbers in Switzerland? Try to get him to eat an American-style burger, with mustard and pickles & perhaps a little mayonnaise. Finding good cheese in Switzerland to put on his burger shouldn't be a problem. |

Uhm... to be quite honest, I am not sure but I think it is supposed to be fresh beetroot. I don't know because I really hate beetroot, pickled or not. Eugh !

Someting very simple tonight - a sort of sformato or crustless quiche with thin slices of sweet potato, egg, grated crotonese (hard ewe's milk cheese), and minced onion. It is very cold today in Montréal and I had a lot of work today, so I didn't go out and get the onions I'd normally have put in.
Oh dear, casimira, do wish I had fresh local greens now, but it is not to be.
Very nice crusty bread roll, bit of white wine. |

Lagatta, welcome to our butter yellow ship! Your meal is sooo tempting. Alas, I have to finish swabbing the upper deck before nibbling a crumb. At least the Ocean breezes cool me as I swab and swab. 'They' promised there will be leftovers in the galley for me.  |

Enjoy your hardtack, Jazz! Where are you in Canada?
And benvenuto, La Gatta!

Aha.... the hidden cache of wine! ...I'm lying on the lounge chair of the upper deck, sipping a rich burgandy and looking at the beautiful night sky.
I live in Toronto, fondly known as 'hogtown'. |

What a disconcerting name for what is by all accounts a vibrant city.
re: OP ~~ I made a big salad. I'd run out of everything and craved fresh. Since today was market day, I had lots of produce. I was slicing up a poblano pepper -- they've been like bell peppers for months -- & idly munched on a piece. Holy hahas it was hot! |

Grazie. It is a bit less cold today - we anticipate a big melt on Saturday - so I'll be going out to get so-called "fresh" salad, though it is nothing like the truly fresh stuff we get during la belle saison at the Jean-Talon Market.
It is a pretty ship - looks like a big cheese with green streaks - would that be a Stilton?
Jazz, I've been reading your Paris stories (I have yours' and Kerouac's offline in a word file on travel) but haven't weighed in yet. |

The weather is perfect here for enjoying a spicy veggie curry. Snow outside and a poor forecast? Who cares?
Contents will be baby potatoes, mushrooms, tomatoes, onion and loads of garbonzas. I may make another snowman after dinner.

I am very uninspired for dinner tonight.
|
| Posted by BigIain on Feb 6, 2009, 2:22pm |
Well why not come round here tonight, I need to try out Repertoire's smooth lines on someone anyway? I think that they, along with lekkerding, will prove irresistable!
Obviously it would be like a controlled scientific experiment. |

See you at 7?
Jy is 'n oulike ding! |

I'm feeling so uninspired that I might buy a package of.....![[image]](http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq228/kerouac2/knacki.jpg "[image]") |

| 7 is fine, remember to pick up some poor quality red wine on the way. Anything from South Africa should fit that description. And bring desert too... |
| Posted by palesa on Feb 6, 2009, 2:51pm |
I will ignore the wine comment.
Will we need desert? |
| Posted by kerouac2 on Feb 6, 2009, 2:54pm |
| Don't you have to cross the Kalahari to get to Iain's place? |
| Posted by BigIain on Feb 6, 2009, 2:58pm |
| *aint no mountain high enough* |
| Posted by BigIain on Feb 6, 2009, 3:09pm |
| Palesa, There is always room for dessert. Make it cheesecake. There is a serious snowman to be made if you are still feeling energetic after dinner. I will supervise obviously. |
| Posted by palesa on Feb 6, 2009, 3:23pm |
| Do I get to throw snowballs at you? |
| Posted by BigIain on Feb 6, 2009, 3:28pm |
If you feel lucky, do you feel lucky? Make my day.
Anyway, since you are sadly not able to travel here for dinner, and I am saving myself for another girl, what are you going to have tonight. must be almost dinner time with you? |
| Posted by palesa on Feb 6, 2009, 3:40pm |
| Pizza has drawn the short straw. |
| Posted by BigIain on Feb 6, 2009, 5:44pm |
Poor Zonker. I bet he would like more than merely pizza on a Friday night. Perhaps he enjoys dessert so much that he does not complain about the food?
Zonker, if you are listening, you need a firm hand with this one my friend!! |
| Posted by palesa on Feb 6, 2009, 5:47pm |
Zonker would love pizza 8 days a week, and if he plays his cards right, I am sure he could get some desert.

Pasta with tuna and olives here, I could do a pizza though  |
| Posted by auntieannie on Feb 6, 2009, 7:18pm |
| roasted root vegetables, cheese and viande séchée on the side. |
