Watched half a video of someone making some sort of playdough-like sushi (the kind of kit for children), but the kit is just powders that you add water to.

By the time she got the "rice" done, I could've made actual nigiri and eaten it. =.=

@skematica Oh yeah, it's turkeytime on your side.

12-hour workday sounds like…you should be getting paid a lot.

If it weren't the end of the pack (11.5g of beans left, and I have my pourover set up for 15g), I would never have put this natural Ethiopian bean into the cezve.

Should've tried it earlier. Earthy chocolate, peach, green apple, dried apricot…good start to the day…

I don't see why regular bidders (i.e. people not collaborating with the seller) bid before the last 10s of an auction.

Wonderfully spicy chicken and pork liver tikka for dinner.

Might do it on the stove next time though. Oven clearly doesn't get hot enough. Some of it ended up stewing in its own juice.

@kdfrawg Smell is strange like that. I didn't really associate that with "swimming pool toy" until I watched Somm (at least, I think that was the first time I heard it as a descriptor).

@kdfrawg Get that once again in the evening with a nice glass of old Riesling!

Ooh, will have a look.

@thrrgilag By "rubbery", I mean like the smell of a new swimming pool toy. One of my favourite characteristics of good, well-aged Riesling is that beautiful petrol note that hits you the moment you pull the cork (or pop out the glass stopper, as some producers are thankfully now doing).

That's also what makes it quite a love-hate variety :P

Oh my. Dr Loosen's Château Ste Michelle Riesling (2014, Columbia Valley) is a real controlled explosion of lime. Wonderfully rubbery too.
