Aw man! I loved that drawing.

Published on January 12, 2021 by Marica

Our last house was built on a hill such that one could go ’round to the door and walk straight into the basement. The Girls claimed the basement. None of The Girls lived at home by the time we moved, but a couple of their best buds came over and help deconstruct years of growing up in the basement. Couldn’t bare to part with some of the things.

Texted this photo to them just now and that’s what Miss M had to say.

I know you can’t keep everything, but you should keep some stuff if for no other reason to hear Miss M say, “Aw Man!”

UPDATE: Agreement that it’s 20 years old. Only two of us had ever noticed what’s in the smoke. Crazy, man.

Recipe: Wings Piquant

Published on January 12, 2021 by Marica

Yesterday was Marica Cooks Monday. It was also the evening of the so-called ‘Championship Game’ which means I made football food: Spinach balls, Wings Piquant, and the best frozen pizza on offer at the local grocery. It was pretty good!

These wings are good. I made half recipe and did them for 10-12 minutes in the air fryer.

“This dish is so simple it is absurd! Everyone will think you are a genius.”—The Frugal Gourmet by Jeff Smith (1984)

“These make a great appetizer, a marvelous cold lunch, and an easy evening meal. Pasta goes well on the side, along with a tomato salad. Either red or white wine fits.”

WINGS PIQUANT

Serves 3 or 4

24 wing pieces, “either corner or upper arm” (see Chicken Wings (1984) in Poultry section)
1 C Jeff Smith’s Basic Fennel Dressing
1 tsp oregano
3 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese or Romano cheese, preferably freshly grated
Salt, pepper, to taste

Preheat oven to 375o. Marinate wings in Fennel Dressing for 30 minutes. Drain, place on an oiled baking sheet (lined with foil for easier clean-up, if desired), sprinkle with oregano, cheese, salt and pepper and bake 35 to 45 minutes or until wings are browned lightly and tender. (10-12 in the air fryer at 365*)

Recipe: Jeff Smith’s Basic Fennel Dressing

Published on January 12, 2021 by Marica

Marinade for Wings Piquant

JEFF SMITH’S BASIC FENNEL dRESSING

Makes 2 cups

½ C olive oil
½ C peanut oil
½ C red wine vinegar
½ c white vinegar
1 tsp sugar or more to taste
1 Tbsp dry mustard, “I like Colman’s”
1 tsp fennel, ground
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1/8 C dried parsley
Salt, pepper, to taste

Blend together olive oil, peanut oil, red wine vinegar and white vinegar, add sugar, mustard and fennel. Add lemon juice, parsley and salt and pepper.

Book World | The Finding

Published on January 11, 2021 by Marica

Part of the fun of doing the annual book cleaning is the finding of forgotten crappy old books.

“But what do we mean by the America Revolution? Do we mean the American war? The Revolution was effected before the war commenced. The Revolution was in the minds and hearts of the people; a change in their religious sentiments, of their duties and obligations… . This radical change in the principles, opinions, sentiments, and affections of the people was the real American Revolution.”

–John Adams, letter to H. Niles, February 13, 1818

The Founders’ Almanac: A Practical Guide to the Notable Events, Greatest Leaders & Most Eloquent Words of the American Founders (2002)

I did not see this coming

Published on January 11, 2021 by Marica

As good as I am at predicting the weather I got this one wrong. I figured it would snow, but I was not expecting four inches (just measured). Interestingly, the weather station (on the post in one of the photos) is not registering any precipitation.

It has warmed up to 36*– says the weather station– and the gravel part of the driveway is melting. But it’s still snowing.

Back to drudge work Monday.

Weren’t no three inches

Published on January 11, 2021 by Marica

I like the arrangement of color and the subtle asymmetry..

Weather station read 0” precipitation. Walked into the kitchen for coffee. Together with Mr. Big Food we do a visual. There’s snow. Only on the grass.

Kids will be disappointed.

“I would claim, if I did not think it presumptuous in one so ill-instructed, to have as one object the elucidation of truth, and the encouragement of good morals in this real world, by the ancient devise of exemplifying them in unfamiliar embodiments … “

A bit sparse

Published on January 10, 2021 by Marica

Ace of Spades Headquarters Sunday Morning Book Thread was a bit sparse today. I will see if I can come up with some content shortly. There’s like six feet of snow coming so it shouldn’t be too hard. (jk)

‘In Quest of the Perfect Book’

Published on January 9, 2021 by Marica

This is going to be so much fun!

William Dana Orcutt. In Quest of the Perfect Book: Reminiscences & Reflections of a Bookman (1926)

One of Orcutt’s many talents was designing new typefaces. For this type, which he named ‘Humanistic,’ he wanted to preserve the individuality of hand letter of the scribes. Thus, there are several characters for some common letters: eight e’s; five a’s; two m’s; etc.

I see two different e’s on the top line, and can convince myself that the e’s in eye are different than those in speed. The a in ethereal is obviously different that in the top line.

More on this crappy old book to come.

Go ahead, ask!

Published on January 9, 2021 by Marica

Exciting, isn’t it? Just to give you a sense of things, that pile is 7″ tall.

Yesterday I read up on Andrew Lang and Edward Fitzgerald. A little Kant got thrown in for good measure. Not a Kant fan, but the others were interesting characters.

Lang is known today– if he’s known today– for his folk tales and work on the history of fairy tales. But he’s also the one who established the unity of Homer. Homer as one real person and author of all (most?) of the works attributed to Homer.

Fitzgerald of course translated (from Persian) the Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám which was not received very well when first published, but gained in popularity as further editions came out.

Let me know if there are authors you’d like to know more about. I promise the entries in these volumes are far superior to those in that infallible source.

Today would be a good day to ask you to hit the tip jar. I mean, really. Where else on the internet do you get recipes, funnies, pleasant farm scenes, and crappy old books about crappy old books?

This is downright funny

Published on January 9, 2021 by Marica

The Saturday Morning Joke shamelessly lifted from the Saturday Morning Coffee Break


A nun walks into Mother Superior’s office and plunks down into a chair. She lets out a sigh heavy with frustration.

‘What troubles you, Sister?’ asked the Mother Superior. ‘I thought this was the day you spent with your family.’

‘It was,’ sighed the Sister. ‘And I went to play golf with my brother. We try to play golf as often as we can. You know I was quite a talented golfer before I devoted my life to Christ.’

‘I seem to recall that,’ the Mother Superior agreed. ‘So I take it your day of recreation was not relaxing?’

‘Far from it,’ snorted the Sister. ‘In fact, I even took the Lord’s name in vain today!’

‘Goodness, Sister!’ gasped the Mother Superior, astonished. ‘You must tell me all about it!’

‘Well, we were on the fifth tee…and this hole is a monster, Mother -540 yard Par 5, with a nasty dogleg left and a hidden green…and I hit the drive of my life. I creamed it. The sweetest swing I ever made.

And it’s flying straight and true, right along the line I wanted…and it hits a bird in mid-flight!’

‘Oh, my goodness’ said the Mother. ‘How unfortunate! But surely that didn’t make you blaspheme, Sister!’

‘No, that wasn’t it,’ admitted Sister. ‘While I was still trying to fathom what had happened, this squirrel runs out of the woods, grabs my ball and runs off down the fairway!’

‘That would have made me blaspheme!’ sympathized the Mother.

‘But I didn’t, Mother!’ sobbed the Sister. ‘And I was so proud of myself!

And while I was pondering whether this was a sign from God, this hawk swoops out of the sky and grabs the squirrel and flies off, with my ball still clutched in his paws!’

‘So that’s when you cursed,’ said the Mother with a knowing smile.

‘Nope, that wasn’t it either,’ cried the Sister, anguished, ‘because as the hawk started to fly out of sight, the squirrel started struggling, and the hawk dropped him right there on the green, and the ball popped out of his paws and rolled to about 18 inches from the cup!’

Mother Superior sat back in her chair, folded her arms across her chest, fixed the Sister with a baleful stare and said…………..

‘You missed the fucking putt, didn’t you?’
