Playing this morning with a new idea: lemon poppyseed buttermilk biscuits. More savory than sweet (could add a touch of sugar if i wanted).

We found a bunch of white rice and frozen veggies in the freezer yesterday, so before 7 this morning I decided to make chicken fried rice. I've got issues.

Cassoulet for dinner tonight. Had to hunt all over for the sausages, but it turned out great

Schloss Schoenbrunn. I'm not really a big fan of castle tours. Yes, they're opulent and impressive. Truly, the part I found most fascinating was where they were performing renovation work: how often do you see what lay underneath?

The autographed ceiling at Griechenbeisl restaurant in Vienna. Supposedly, Mozart and Beethoven signed. Pavaratti, Mark Twain, Egon Schiele and many others definitely did. They really need a list.

Kind of creepy. Kokoschka had a relationship with Alma Mahler and commissioned the making of a doll in her likeness which he used for "inspiration." He eventually doused it in wine and beheaded it, but there is this reproduction.

A friend's neighbor did not drink French wines, so gifts of French wines sat. Yesterday, we had a tasting. I think they discovered that the French wines were pretty darn good.

Rule you learn if you cook: Don't cook or bake while wearing a white colored t-shirt. Rule i always ignore: Don't cook or bake while wearing a white colored t-shirt. Sigh. Laundry time.

After a successful morning of chasing your prey, sometimes you just need to revel in it.

Happy new year! 2025 sounds like something out of a sci fi movie but it's here (no flying cars yet, but we do have robots and they haven't revolted yet)

Cooking Moulard duck breast for dinner. To me, Bordeaux works beautifully with this dish. Primarily merlot with a bit of cabernet franc.

Humboldt fog (left) and a Langres. Edmund Tew from the UK is a favorite and unavailable here in the US. It's made like a langres-a washed rind cow cheese with a buttery texture. I'm hoping the langres is a close approximation.

Went for a short hike in a park today. With everyone else shopping, I was almost alone. It was a pretty nice morning
