Cleaning out the junk drawer
I haven't known what to post for some time now, especially since a friend died in September. I didn't want to blog about it, and nothing else was important enough.
I've also found that facebook lets me talk about myself in smaller doses, which reasonable people agree is much more satisfactory. But here's a junk drawer's worth of stuff from the last few months.
A personally tolerable and gainfully employed 2009 to all.

Marinate 5.5-pound brisket overnight in 1 bottle of red wine (I used some Portuguese "tinto red" we got from Fresh Direct) and 8-10 crushed juniper berries. Notice pitcher of orange juice on counter before putting it in the fridge, add a few glugs of that too. Remove from fridge the next day, turn brisket over in the marinade because that seems like a good idea and let it marinate the rest of the morning. Saute a couple of big onions, put them under the brisket. Decide no one has any real need for celery and don't send wife out for any. Realize you may finally have found a valid use for celery salt. Add a bunch, along with all 1.5 little bay leaves remaining in the bottle. More salt, black pepper. Cover loosely with tinfoil, fat-side up. 450F for 1/2-hour. Reduce to 350F for 3-1/2 hours, turning the brisket over after 3 because you realize you accidentally put it in fat-side down. Baste every 1/2-hour. Add carrots when there's 1:45 left on the timer. Add salt and pepper as needed, slice diagonally against grain, go make the latkes. |

Glommed from Laura, who glommed it from Claire. I apologize in advance for the foreign-language titles, which I don't understand either, but I swear I didn't cheat on the others. Instructions: Go to your music player of choice and put it on shuffle. Say the following questions aloud, and press play. Use the song title as the answer to the question. NO CHEATING. How does the world see you? Jack-Ass — Beck Will I have a happy life? Porn Coconut Co. — Plaid What do my friends really think of me? Mukaji Wani — Yogo, Dindo What do people secretly think of me? Sweet Pain — Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and Michael Brook How can I be happy? Theme from New York, New York — Frank Sinatra What should I do with my life? Spotkani Z Matra — Vangelis Will I ever have children? Demons — Cosmic Debris What is some good advice for me? Symphonique #6 (Good for Goodie) — Moondog How will I be remembered? Bossa Alma — 00Soul What is my signature dancing song? Scene 1 (Joseph's cell), Dead Man Walking — San Francisco Opera What do I think my current theme song is? Wind — Coyote Oldman What does everyone else think my current theme song is? Wake Up (It's Africa Calling) — Youssou N'Dour What song will play at my funeral? Luckiest Man Alive — The Finn Brothers What type of men/women do you like? Dimitri's Bar — Vangelis What is my day going to be like? Disembodied Voices — The Finn Brothers |
