Club Sandwich

…with curry mayonnaise and home made fries. The sandwich is with lettuce, red onion, tomato, avocado and halloumi. I the background my trusty Godfather.

Ave, Caesar

Just made our first Caesar (-ish) Salad and I did a take on the Caesar Dressing with dried tomatoes instead of anchovies in the dressing:

1/2 clove of garlic

1 1/2 teaspoon of fresh squeezed lemon juice

1 dl finely grated Grana Padano

3 pieces dried tomato

pinch of salt

1 egg yolk

1/2-3/4 dl rapeseed oil

Mixed everything finely with a hand mixer, then slowly added oil while mixing ferociously. Turned out fantastic!

Gimlet

Gimlet.

This weeks cocktail is a new one to me that I thought I’d try. And frankly, I’m a bit disappointed. I found it hard to balance the sour and the sweet, and the result was not to my taste.

The recipe I used (from punchdrink.com):

6 cl of Gin

2+ cl of Lime juice

2+ cl of syrup

(I ended up adding a little more syrup but that didn’t help. It may be I chose the wrong [cheap] gin…)

Sidecar

A beast of a cocktail and one of my absolute favourites. Sidecar.
5-6 cl of Cognac
2 cl Cointreau
2 cl Lemon juice
Shake with ice and serve in a chilled, sugar rimmed glass.
This recipe from Punch

We’re in the middle of nothing we can hold

I wish the summer was over us in bursts

Novacane for the pain

 
Frank Ocean - Novacane

I’m a ghost tonight

I’m a ghost tonight

Cause my heart is a stone

Until you make it right

Chairlift - Ghost tonight

Set the sails and just get hauled away

Set the sails and just get hauled away
Maybe east or something
West was overrated anyway

- Dan Mangan, Set the sails

My mind was numb, my heart was fury

Come on Daddy, there’s a light up there
We can make it if we hurry
I put my hand on his frozen hair
My mind was numb, my heart was fury
Sean Rowe - Night

We pass light bits in the night

We pass light bits in the night

What do you mean?

WWhat do you need from me?

I am a poor soul of Pompeii

I'll give it as fast and high as the flame will rise

You’ll ask me to pray for rain
With ash in your mouth
You’ll ask it to burn again

I was coming back from what seemed like a ruin

 

It wasn't like a rain it was more like a sea

I didn't ask for this pain it just came over me
I love a storm, but I don't love lightning
All the waters coming up so fast it’s frightening

I tell you miserable things after you are asleep

I was afraid I’d eat your brains
Cause I am Evil

I don’t know what is taking me so long

You ask “How many fingers am I holding up?”
I don’t know why its taking me so long.

Nothing can save me

I let somebody get under my skin

We were so out of our minds

Oh, don't tell anyone I'm here
I've got Tylenol and beer

Tell me my world is gone

I've seen more horrors made real than dreamers wake up

The showdown is endless here

so much for everyone

Am I this alone?

Oh christ I’m such a drama queen.

.

Fine

Dead wood waits to ignite

Would you come and brighten my corner?

Drinks are on me, I’ll buy another round

 

 

 

 

now the moon's rising
ain't got no time to lose
time to get down to drinking
tell the band to play the blues
drink's are on me, I'll buy another round
at the last ditch attempt saloon

Shine a little light

Shine a little light,
Don't wrestle with the night,
Don't think about the future now.
I know it's gotta stop, love
  but I don't know how.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

These amazing simulations end up sounding even better than the real thing

We were grasping at something, what – I don’t know..

Feels like I’m always waiting for the Gold in them there hills

Bell X1 - Bad skin day

An experiment in color

Song: Locked - Four Tet

And in the eaves, the Corvidae

With astrolabe and carousel
And algebra and symmetry
And none of this was lost on me
And I could see how still I'd been before
