Have you ever seen a more lovely loaf of bread? 🍞

Rice Philip: ½ shallot, chopped, 1 T minced garlic, 1 cup bone broth, 1 can chicken breast meat, ½ cup brown rice. Soy sauce to taste after serving.

Not very colorful, even though the shallot was kinda purple, but yummy.

The sort of thing Jackie might say on any ordinary day (such as today):

“Consider using a shallot as your allium in today’s lunch.”

(To be fair, just yesterday I told her I wasn’t using the shallots, assuming that she’d gotten them with some particular dish in mind.)

The very first breakfast Jackie ever cooked for me was some Tassajara Bread book pancakes. (They’re special because you beat the egg whites and fold them in, which makes the pancakes super light and fluffy.)

Jackie is away to attend a tapestry weaving workshop, so today I decided to make my own pancakes.

I’ve cooked enough fjord trout (which is a lot like salmon) to feel safe just winging it as far as seasonings go. This one has cashmere chili powder and ground cumin, with the addition of allspice. Served with sautéd red onions and red peppers, Cahokia rice, and a Stone Delicious IPA.

The brats are “Sheboygan” brats, which according to the woman at Olde Time Meats are the same as regular brats except they have more black pepper. The skewers vary slightly: Mine has an extra purple onion; Jackie’s has an extra yellow pepper.

For our main meal of the day, I cooked Kerala Roadside Chicken with shallots and red chilies. And red cabbage (cooked by @jackieLbrewer and not a traditional Kerala dish, she admits).

While we wait for my Kerala Roadside Chicken to finish marinating, @jackieLbrewer and I have proceeded to the beer drinking phase of cooking. She has a Tasmanian IPA, while I’m having a Fear Movie Lions.

I write science fiction and fantasy stories.

I speak Esperanto, and use it to communicate internationally. Esperantistoj, legu mian esperantan hejmpaĝon.

For a while I taught Taiji. My current hobby is HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts, aka sword fighting).

For eleven years I was a senior writer at Wise Bread, writing about personal finance and frugality.

Before that I spent a quarter-century as a software engineer.
