I want to be that old man when I am old enough to give no fucks. Though of course, I'll have failed if I am ever the ancestor of such a pathetic manchild as the one behind the camera.

I had some of the Polar kippers number 1 sexy dad sent me this morning. Alongside some dry toast and scrambled eggs, it was a fine breakfast. Even my parents' rear end in a top hat little dog got to enjoy the juices from the can poured on his stupid little dog food.

Kippers are basically like bacon except not going to kill me as bad, right? Right?

I made this sardine recipe for dinner tonight:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGTkVFNptRo

I had to butterfly the fresh sardines myself after the fishmonger refused (stating it was impossible to do, the jerk) but it came out pretty well.

Finish it under the broiler for a couple minutes and you've got a nice dish. Also, I now have fish hands. I smell like a gynecologist.

When I want to buy Chinese foodstuffs I will go through the poo poo on the shelf until I can at least find something made in Taiwan. Would never eat a Chinese food product if there was another option. The reason is I lived in China for a while.

Had some KO sardines with jalapenos over a bed of my favorite new crop japanese rice (kokuho rose) the other day. Good stuff. Nice blend of heat and vinegar. It made of the rice leftover a tasty finish to a nice main part of the meal.

I tried the can of KO kippers. Got to say, they're not as nice as the polars, or (shocker!) brunswicks. The texture was great, but I found the flavor to be too watery. Still a nice accompaniment to breakfast toast and eggs.

You might have a clause in your lease telling you not to put food and oil down the kitchen sink like an infant, right next to the clause about not flushing condoms down the toilet.

I think there's a difference between half a teaspoon of oil from a sardine can (or the remnants of oil from a cooking pan) compared to what these clauses usually exist for (people who deep fat fry regularly and use lard in their cooking -like the british).

So I made Fisherman's Eggs for the first time since the great 375 vs. 500 degree debate. And, well, at 500 degrees there really is no contest. The sardines ended up crispy-fried in their own oil and the egg cooked perfectly with a nice runny yolk. For those of you who have some, I recommend mixing in a dash of black chinese vinegar to the cooked dines (before you add the eggs) -it adds a tangy juicy taste to the whole dish.

I've become a pretty big fan of these. Yes, it's canned tuna. But it's also a pretty aromatic and flavorful can of fish with all the spices and herbs to add to pasta when you are in such a hurry you cannot prepare the entire dish yourself.

Add a bit of your own anchovy paste and you're sitting pretty with a decent puttanesca.

Yesterday marked Ash Wednesday, the beginning of the Lenten season for catholics. Traditionally a time of fasting and self-sacrifice, in contemporary times it is mostly still around in the form of giving up a thing that is loved. This year, I'm going totally sober, and meat avoiding (whenever I am in charge of my own cooking). For a person like myself, of modest means, between jobs and in a snowy land, this means 'dines.

Remember: Jesus multiplied the loaves and fishes, so a sardine sandwich is a good choice.

My dad would make this thing called "Egg-and-bread-and-cheese" that was essentially a thin omelette onto which a slice of american cheese was placed and then bread to cover that. You flip it over and the bread gets all cheesy and fries a bit in the butter from the omelette.

Good use of an egg.

I went to the market today. Fishmonger was out of sardines - "Not before april", she said -so I bought half a pound of smelts for about 4$. Hot drat do smelts fry up nice. just put em in breadcrumb or flour and pan fry em real fast in a heavy cast iron pan and, well, speaks for itself, don't it?
