The Princess Rubali. Is everyone from The Hindu Kush beautiful? She had green eyes. She wore what I thought of as cultural clothing. She had about a half dozen girls following her. Her maidens. Her servants. Pushing carts with their luggage. Somehow, all of those girls and the baggage fit...
Over all, these are good boots. Just not thick, heavy, and rugged. I like them. Very versatile. I will wear them with my semi-formal, the next time black tie is requested. As opposed to cowboy boots, which is what I normally wear with my black tie.
These came my way, via the last Allen Edmonds sale.
Very comfortable. Perfect fit.
Not "real" engineer boots. Leather is a little thin. More like a "dress shoe". Sort of like how my motorcycle boots' leather is thicker and heavier than women's fashion boots. This boot will offer no...
The Sheik. Sheiky Baby. She was actually his daughter. The Candy Girl. Her Daddy was The Sheik.
"Daddy is actually a real Sheik. He rules our tribe. My mother is the 5th wife. She's Dutch Afrikaan. I have her eyes, fair skin, and blonde hair. So I won't be in line to ever rise to his...
Many buildings in large cities have underground space. Subterranean levels. Sometimes 4 or 5 sub-basements. Several square blocks of buildings could be connected. Nothing nefarious. All for infrastructure. Electrical rooms. Telecommunications panels. Pump stations. Elevator hydraulics...
The Others.
Behind The Walls, several resident demographics are the majority. Power is divided by race and numbers. The incarcerated census. They call the shots behind the bars, and mastermind street level activities outside The Walls.
A much smaller group, The Others, is made up of...
Why is it that we only eat turkey once a year?
Why is it that we only eat corned beef once a year?
I am eating corned beef, and it is not St. Patrick's Day.
Pastrami. Salted piece of inexpensive beef. Steamed.
Corned beef. Salted piece of inexpensive beef. Boiled.
I had a tri tip which was rubbed with salt and pepper. Just overnight. Not 100 days in a barrel of salt. Not overwintered in a salt brine.
Instead of roasting it, I decided to...
Corned beef and cabbage. Potato, carrot, celery, onion. Just enough liquid to cover the vegetables. The meat goes on top. The cabbage blankets the meat to insulate the steam.
The Cat in the Hat. The Crooked Commissioner. Politically, one of the most powerful people in The State. In real life, he is one of the most powerful people period. His influence is beyond Capitol Hill. His reach extends beyond our borders. He literally nods his approval, when it comes to...
The Chinatown Falafel.
That's what I call it. All beef meatballs, coated in flour, deep fried.
I wonder if vegetarians will take umbrage, when they discover meat in what was a chickpea meatball.
Ariana. The daughter of The Baba. They were descended from an ancient lineage, often referred to as "The People of The Book".
The Baba did the right thing. He put the calls out. He asked for permission to Set Up Shop. Only, he didn't do the right thing. He was already operating, before...
I am a cheater. I have a cast iron wok. It allows me to quickly "stir fry" any combination of meat and vegetables. Where I really cheat, is by using Lee Kum Kee sauces. The brand sells over 100 different blends of flavors.
