Paul Prudhomme Outside Of His Restaurant “K-Paul’s Louisiana Kitchen”, In New Orleans (1979)
For a period between 1989 and 1990 I was the head chef at a Cajun Creole restaurant (Fat Franks). We did our utmost to produce authentic creole food in a place not exactly known for the cuisine. During that time this man was my guru, I devoured everything on him that I could find from the other side of the globe.
The one issue we had was that at the time Sassafras was illegal in Australia, I believe it can now be imported with a licence, but fortunately a friend of the restaurants owner had smuggled a few jars of Sassafras powder into the country. We kept that stuff in the safe.
I visited New Orleans in 2001, but I had stopped chefing by then and had just graduated Uni as an archaeologist and I barely had enough money for the trip, so much so that when I stood outside his restaurant reading the menu I came to terms with knowing I wouldn't be dining in there this trip. To this day I regret not selling a kidney to do so though.
I miss cooking that food, I also miss eating it. I think I should smash out a gumbo or a jambalaya soon.

Same.
I have never once considered my access to filé powder as a sort of privilege... on the few occasions I couldn't buy it, with a small amount of effort, I could make it... I now know, and I won't take that for granted again.
I’m a roux man myself, but I respect the old ways.
Also, cool on you that you had that trade. Mealtime at your place must be grand.

I was using google maps just now to locate an area for some fieldwork and this formation caught my eye. A salt lake near Salmon Gums, Western Australia
The most delectable part of the salmon really
A very unique formation!

Dad said we were from Clan Gordon and I'm always on the lookout for Gordon tartan. This might be a variety of Robertson - it appears that within the specific Clan you can have a range of tartans - Dress, Ancient, Hunting, Weathered to name but a few.
Both sides of my family migrated from the UK to NZ and Australia, early 1800's or thereabouts and I've become interested in the back story as I've aged.
Ironically, the two sides of the family had to travel all this way to find a mate, who, in the Old Country, lived, in relative terms, just down the road.
It seems it is not an uncommon occurrence.

@roonie It might be Galbraith tartan, as it looks like my family's one. Not that we're Galbraiths: we're Russell, and it's shared with Hunter , Mitchell and the USAF pipe band too. Gordon has more white in it: https://www.tartanregister.gov.uk/tartanDe...
Tartans are kind of bollocks but as somebody whose family used to make their living selling them they're fucking great and everyone should have one.

great link! there's something about that old matchbox art, the colors and textures, that's so satisfying!
Woah. Such great images.

A bagel cut in half with ramp cream cheese spread on both halves. The bagel is on a white plate sitting on a wood table.
Friends gave us a bunch of ramps from their yard so made some ramp cream cheese and well of course needed something to put it on so made some bagels.
Oh no not again

The Latin alphabet! Also should "W" be wider?
@poorusher Yeah, doesn't seem like a font-nerd joke when the premise is the font is monospace except for some letters.
And where is the kerning?

phone pic: a rainbow forms over the university of illinois’ gies college of business building. behind it a dark rain cloud is unleashing curtains of rain on another part of the town.
snapped this while working (read: staring at a half-finished notebook until the clock ran out) yesterday afternoon. forgot to upload until just now.
truest spring midwest vibe, watching it absolutely pour half a mile away while the sun shines on you (or vice versa)

Back on my Luddite bullshit

Five CD cases arranged in a grid, cover-side-up. Albums from Leon Bridges, Deftones, Czarface, Gorillaz, and Nathaniel Rateliff.
Stopped buying physical media in 2014 and what felt right then feels less so today. I’m not sure if I’ll ever get back to a full collection of albums, but I am happy with a short stack of good music in my life again.
The liner notes for the new Gorillaz are great.

I'm waiting for a new CD player to be delivered. I haven't played a CD for more than a decade now and I'm looking forward to diving into my collection (which has been ruthlessly thinned) as much as I am looking forward to buying new music while avoiding apps, itunes and sundry downloading bullshit.

@roonie Its nice. The constraint of "oh I have loaded this album into a player" is enough for me to commit to listening to something as a whole and not just keep hitting the skip button constantly.
I sold all my CDs at a garage sale around 2014. Figured physical media was dead and why am I hauling this shit around. Within 6 months, I ended up in a record store and realized I missed records.
A decade later we’re thinking of moving/downsizing and am torn on what to do with all these records, CDs and cassettes I now have again.
But glad I have them.

A reddish meadow under a fiery orange-yellow sky. Standing in the middle of the meadow is a doorway that appears to be a portal. Through the doorway is an entirely different world; one with a blue sky and white clouds. The doorway casts a yellow glow across the red grass, and is made of orange brick. Attached to the top of it is a round white sign with a black letter T: the logo for the Boston subway system. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A comparison image. The top shows a frayed and broken white smartphone charging cable with the text "They need to make these." The bottom shows a sturdy, green coiled telephone cord with the text "As strong as these."
The Verge's offshoot Version History had a piece on the Western Electric 500 and at one point came to the conclusion that since At&t was a monopoly at the time, it made good economic sense to build the phones as solid as possible!
Not "as strong as", but "as flexible as". 99% of those fucking USB/Firewire cable failures could be avoided with (a) a proper strain relief gusset and (b) not being a 3mm cable with a 10cm minimum coil radius.
@idogcow @ardgedee +++ to both of you! I wanted my Grandma Amanda’s Bakelite table phone when I heard that Southwestern Bell was coming to collect it. Alas, she was too German to allow for such hi-jinx….

3 stacked images with text. The first image says, "my brush" with an image of chopsticks. The second says, "my paint" with an image of what looks like pho or ramen. The final image says, "my canvas" next to a clean, white t-shirt.

An animated image zoomed in on the pale concrete of a sidewalk, a smattering of small dark dots grows more plentiful as additional unseen drops join their brethren on the pavement.
Was walking the dog in a brief light rain, and loved that it felt like the dark spots appeared on the sidewalk spontaneously rather than being the result of the raindrops. ❤️💧☁️
