My thoughts of the day

[Piling]

Like Belgium Kriek with cherry flavor ? Not much, too sweetie for my taste. I prefer great and strong beers, like 3 Monts (Belgium) or Bière du Démon. Now I drink blonde (gold) Heineken, but I like really draught Irish beer, and amber beer. And beer with a smoked flavor (as some tea).

In Kurdistan as in Turkey you find quite one single beer : Efes Pilsen ; it is good.

So true…

PÂRO
n. the feeling that no matter what you do is always somehow wrong—that any attempt to make your way comfortably through the world will only end up crossing some invisible taboo—as if there’s some obvious way forward that everybody else can see but you, each of them leaning back in their chair and calling out helpfully, colder, colder, colder.

Modern Bean-and-Bacon Soup

In a small skillet, cook 3 strips of bacon over medium heat until it is well-browned but not burned. Remove to a plate covered with paper towels to drain. Pour off all but 1 teaspoon of bacon fat from the pan. Add the olive oil to the remaining fat.

Add 1 small diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 3 to 5 mn, or until it is just starting to brown. Add cannelloni beans, rinsed and drained, 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, and stock, then raise the heat to high. Bring the soup to a boil, then turn it down to a simmer. Half cover with a lid, and cook for 10 mn.

Purree the soup either with an immersion blender or in batches with an upright blender. Return the soup to medium heat, then add 1/4 cup of feta,1/4 cup of orzo, 2 strips of crumbled bacon, and water. Cook for 5 mn, or until the pasta is tender. Season with salt and pepper.

Ladde the soup into individual bowls, crumble a bit of the leftover bacon, garnish with thyme and feta, and serve.

Many people consider that soups are for winter, but I like soup 365/365 days.

I won't rinse nor drain the beans, because there are French cooked beans with goose fat (very tasty).

Pictures for evening.

In India the people show a lot more respect to their elders than they do in England

If he was in England at his age he would either be in a home for the elderly or ion Politics

Makes me feel tired just watching the speed at which his fingers move

If you ever watch an Indian film you might not realise it but the beautiful girls who appear to be singing are not often the actual singers - there will be some extremely well known wonderful elderly singers doing the singing - it happens a great deal and is part of the Indian cinema industry

In many Western musical film it is the same : for example, in My Fair Lady (I LOVE it) , that's not the voice of Audrey Hepburn, of course, but Marni Nixon's (she sings also in West Side Story, instead of Nathalie Wood).

So here is the final soup. I ate it with a roasted small bread with smoked salmon, lumpfish roe, salad and sauce Béarnaise.
