Summary of March 26 in Studio One

When a nose knows smells of the Durian to cockroaches and frozen pollution, it thinks it is somewhat knowledgeable. Hidung kembang (flaring nostrils out of self-glee/pride). Yet, there will always be a new smell to learn. Today it was electricity in the air - the charge of prenatal lightnings.

Seagulls: stomp their feet on earth, reenacting rain which draws out the earthworms (as seen in Princess Street Gardens), confirmed by Laura-Ann.

"How to" tell if it will rain: seagulls fly a wee way inland, circling over Edinburgh city centre, away from the approaching wind rains.

Post-Easter Tuesday

Victoria: (opens box of "Resurrection Plant: the plant you cannot kill") I was just wondering what this looks like inside.
Lisa: We should have had that out on Easter Day!

Rosemary: a tragedy

A selfish culinary act commited towards Rosemary - dew of the sea - her fortune reversed. I, as if that merciless being flirted with the fate of her life, and tossed her into my pot where she is depositioned into a sombre green. Drained of the living perennial green that was once, she is a bitter taste on the tongue.

Yet her essence is in the broth's aroma; life as if a bodhisattva. She saved my soup.

Climbing

some point in all the breaths breathed, we've tried climbing with flippers

innocence

perhaps the most commented on photo i've received in the past that expressed simultaneous delight and disgust.

Beetroots in Edinburgh

: one grated big beetroot - golden, bull's eye or simple red beets
: a pour of flour, even bread flour works. i might mean about half a cup depending on size of beet
: one beaten "free range" egg - because it tastes more like egg, less like yesterday's lunch plastic bag
: one finely sliced red onion
: salt
: pepper
: herbs of your fancy - basil is safe
: some grated cheddar
: oil for pan-frying

Mix everything but egg in bowl. Pour over the beaten egg and have everything evenly coated in egg. Mixture should be able to somewhat hold when pressed and flattened together in palm - try a slow mo clapping with mixture in palm to create palm sized cutlets.

If mixture does not hold - gradually increase amount of flour.

Heat oil and shallow fry. To be consumed while still in the midst of frying, in sandwiches (vege burger?) with a soft cheese of your fancy & baby spinach & sundried tomatoes, or eaten as meat's accompaniment.
