Birrias. It's a Chivas reference (or a beef reference if they're from Baja, I guess) but different. I may be suggesting this name in part because I bought a fifteen pound box of cubed halal goat and have been eating birria for the last three days.

Next up: Caribbean-inspired goat curry. If anyone has a favorite recipe I'd love to see it.

Saute the goat with a ton on of onions, garlic, chiles, and fresh ginger. Add cumin, coriander seed, black pepper, and WAY more allspice than you would think you'd need. Then lots of coconut milk and cook down to a nice thick stew. Serve over rice or with dumb bread.

Alternatively, make the curry the same way but leave out the goat until the coconut milk goes in. While everything is cooking, you'll be grilling the goat over fire, and then adding the charred meat to the stew.

Reading the mp rage while listening to 'Oh fortuna' was a lucky combination that made my day.

Other than that, I have to express my deep personal displeasure at the present situation in corporate world.

I will now go back into hiding, and may come out on the other side, just a river of human waste, broken promises and abandoned unwanted hope to walk through.

We will emerge triumphant, yet a bit smelly, somewhat traumatized and a lot less on the other side!

Time to drop the loving scythe and get out the combine.

God speed giwwis!

Also, this is one of the occasions where the word 'gently caress' is aptly and expertly applied to all situations, it has trandescented and taken on a whole new meaning, which encompasses everything from a descriptive to a pure content illustrative.

Also, Schwartz's was amazing, but the hefty Bostonians we were seated with wouldn't shut up about American tax law the entire time, for some reason. We proceeded to run into them three more times during the course of the trip with similar results. :gonk:

YER MUSTACHE IS CROOKED
So I'm in an off-campus apartment for the first time this year and my first few attempts have had mixed success.

Slow-cooked beef, onions, and green beans in tomato juice, peppers, and assorted "gently caress it that should work" spices:

loving delicious when cooked, but my first attempt to actually cook it was foiled when the power strip the crockpot was hooked up to actually wasn't turned on and I came home to lukewarm meat stew. After much cursing, nearly ordering pizza, and eventually warming up some spring rolls instead, I cooked it properly the next day after having it spend the night in the fridge. It surprisingly did not kill me though all the peppers and spices in it made me poo poo flames. I have enough leftovers to hold me over for a couple lazy dinners.

Omelets with shredded cheese and garlic:

Very, very quickly I realized that the pan I was using didn't have a non-stick coating, and very, very soon after that I discovered that cleaning up burnt egg crust from a non-nonstick pan is about as fun as sticking your arm in a blender. I think I'll be having cereal for breakfast until I figure out a way to use these eggs without wrecking a pan every time. The omelet itself was pretty good though, but nothing to write home about.

Tacos:

Surprisingly went off without a hitch. Also delicious.

Also I realized I can't make several things I wanted to because we forgot to bring skillet lids.

I feel like such an incompetent goon but somehow I have avoided killing myself in a grease fire yet, so I have a step up on Masaokis at least.

Tinfoil, a non stick cookie sheet, or a cutting board can all work as a pan lid until you can go buy one.

According to one recent study, some 60,000 Spaniards end up in emergency rooms each year because of ham-cutting accidents.

If I had access to the kind of ham they do, I would have probably cut myself up a few times excitedly attacking the meat. Seriously, that poo poo is amazing.

To keep the figure in perspective, remember that in Spain there is a multi million Euro industry dedicated to manufacturing the little holders you put the hams in.

In my experience, it's extremely difficult to get the right nationwide numbers (or even close estimates) on non-notifiable illnesses or accidents.

So I'm surprised that there's someone willing to make up a number...not just about the number of people cutting themselves, but also a number that suggests that all the docs apparently registrate what their patients were doing when they cut themselves.

Spain has Satanic communazi free healthcare, so people are much more likely to get minor wounds treated at a hospital. Records are pretty tight in all decent Euro-healthcare systems because of the amount of public money involved but I don't really believe "herida de catástrofe de jamón" has appeared on very many forms...

I'm in chicago the 12th and 13th, unless I can change my flight. =(

they hinted on their facebook page that they wouldn't actually be 'closed' - that there was just some special event going on, that one might be able to attend. (or maybe I'm just desperately clinging to shreds of hope)

any idea what this might be about? please say they're having a week long invite-only 'chef's hodown' featuring rene redzepi, and you can get me in. :)
