A couple of things to note.
1. A lot of the wood ends up as sawdust.
2. Rejected sticks of potential Nitram end up as fire starters.
3. Even after the firing there are batons that curve and have knots – rejected and to the firebox for them!
Ok we have done the duty part – here is what I had a Natalie’s.
First a country pate with a smidgen of salad to keep the arteries from freaking out!
NEXT…
Kidneys in wild mushroom gravy with noodles that kept falling off my fork, but I managed.
Now here is the really bad part… I had a second helping!
I tried to convince Natalie and her husband to move to Canada and conveniently locate themselves near my office. In French she said that she does not speak any English. You speak the language of great food… who the hell needs English!
Oh well, tomorrow I have been promised another interesting and local treat – of course I wont tell.
You have to come back for the next instalment of food and those little black Nitramy things.
Hi Jerzy!
How are you? I’m well arrived in New York and, of course, my first steps in the city are culinary ones… I have tasted the New York strip, how can I say ?? Just wonderful as you said it! But I’m sure there is a country, not so far away, which people can found THE best meat they will ever eat
Au revoir!
Hi Julie,
My sincerest apologies for not responding sooner – the lame excuse is that I planned on responding when I had a moment to think up a nice email. Regardless, I hope your New York experience was beneficial and that you had the opportunity to experience the culture and learn more/better English. Although some would argue that Americans speak something that closely resembles English – I think it was Winston Churchill. Anyways – cheers and all the best in your future endeavours.
Regards, Jerzy
