Through a combination of happy chance and large quantities of alcohol, I
found myself in Watford on Saturday morning and, feeling peckish and
slightly the worse for wear, I decided to go back to the Watford Cafe,
my fave greasy spoon ever.

Well, things have changed ... moving with the times, the battered radio
has been replaced by a flat screen showing MTV Hits, the menu on the
wall is now a "proper", plastic type one similar to most fast food
joints (not something I ever like the look of), rather than hand-written
cardboard ...

... but I'm pleased to say the food was as excellent as ever it was.
They're still using the same bacon supplier, so none of that wishy-
washy, thin crap, oh no - it's still the same thick, flavourful stuff it
always was, the eggs are still excellently cooked (not overcooked),
rich, orange-yolked beauties.

I've always thought their saussies were the weakest link in their chain
- not bad per se, just not as good as the rest, and that hasn't changed;
still, mustn't grumble.

The owner of the li'l supermarket in the town saw me looking at the
ham/pate/smoked salmon (smoked salmon was same price as ham) and
whispered "pszzt! wanna fresh fish? got some fresh sole in the back"[0].
I put down the salmon and said yes gleefully. He brought out a small
fish of the sole family, indeed very fresh - caught in the estuary and
landed at the small port just down the road. He skinned it and took out
the squidgy bits.

I have cooked it in butter with the merest delicate dusting of black
pepper; sauteed potatoes, a little salad, and some very crusty baguette.

*happy sigh*

Aika omituista näissä nettiviestinnöissä on malli "Stalin" läpimeno. Eli
vähintään joka toinen nimimerkki esiintyy ikäänkuin olisi vähintään seuraava
presidentistä. Tai herra ja hidalgo näytämässä ja komentamassa kuka saa
keskustella mitä ja kenen kanssa milloinkin.

Todellisuutta tällaisessa ökyilyssä on tuskin senttiä enempää totuusreaalia.
Eli faktat alkuun: Kun maahamme iski massiivinen "lapsipornosekoseko".
SUPO:n lanseeramana keppihevosena alettiin tosiaan sen...

Considering that my first long-hair, thirty years ago, was a Silver
Persian whom I named "Lloyd-George" - actually, then, "David's
Lloyd-George", I have decided to call her.........

"David's Moggie-Thatcher"

The sticking to the sides thing is a problem whatever method one uses.
Personally, I add a little (a very little, just to replace what will
evaporate away) and cook slowly in a saucepan, stirring *constantly*.
Then I clean the saucepan *before* I eat.

i've made scrambled eggs like that many times. just keep stirring and don't
wander off, and they won't stick so much.

Nettimaailma on siitä lystikäs kiulu, että jostain kumman syystä sinne
kirjoitelleille muodostuu illuusio siitä,että ikäänkuin identtiteetti olisi
täällä jollain mystisellä tasvalla suojassa. Väärä luulo. Linjojen
pitäjillä/SUPO:lla kun on lakimääre tunnistaa KAIKKI kirjoittajanimet, koska
netti rinnastetaan juridiesti lehtikirjoituksiin. Yhtä kaikki tuli tuosta
nimimerkki kampamaneeti alias Ilkka Karailan, eli tutummin IK:n
kirjoituksista mieleeni esitellä ihan vaan lystänä pintaraapaisuna joitain
täällä kirjoittavia aavistuksen syvemmältä. Huomaa en tässä nyt keskity
tyhjänpäiväisiin elektroniikkanettinsinööristön mitä lie "FK" tyyppisiin
ketään kiinnostamattomiin. Vaan ihan lihaa ja verta oleviin inehmoihin.
Aivan siis hiillostavan hempeä pintaraapaisu toki.

Nimimerkki Nano ihmetteli, että miksi netti oli muuttunut työneurottiasta
kertovaksi rekrytointi-ilmoitussetiksi hänen poissa ollessaan? Oikein hyvä
kysymys, mutta tutkaillan ine. Esimerkiksi tosiaan tämä...
