Riaan en Kari Doorduin: Ministry of Food

Ministry of Food

Ek het Woensdag begin om Jamie se Ministry of Food deur te werk, stukkie vir stukkie. Eks nog by 20 minute meals, en definitief nie naby Jamie in terme van skill nie, want dit vat my nogal redelik langer as 20 minute! Die Spicey Moroccan Stewed Fish with cous-cous (bl26) is hoogs aan te bevele. Ek het die chicken tikka op bl. 28 geskip, want ons is baie sleg met brand-kos. Donderdagaand was dit die

Chicken and Leek stroganoff (bl. 34), maar daar was iets missing. Dalk omdat ek vergeet het om sout in die rys te gooi...

So vanaand s'n het ek op Irma se voorstel van 'n foto geneem, en hopelik is Riaan netnou nog wakker genoeg om sy kommentaar by te sit.

Dit was Prawns and avocado with an old-school marie rose sauce. Daar kom whiskey in die sous, en ek moes my Pig's Nose whiskey wat nog van Skotland af kom (2002), en wat sê 5 years matured (wat dus nou 13 jaar is), gebruik. Ons is nie groot whiskey drinkers nie.

Riaan se komentaar:
1. Sousie en shrimps was heerlik... 10/10.
2. Avo is nie heeltemal my gunsteling nie.
3. Die britse ministerie (Jamie) moet maar bietjie kyk na die randsoene. As dit nie vir local management was nie, wat 'n bietjie eksra slaai gemaak het nie, sou die Doorduine vanaand honger gaan slaap het.

"He who cannot draw on 3000 years is living from hand to mouth." -Goethe

"When confronted with a work of art, we have to open our minds to allow it to carry us away. If we seek to relate intimately to another person, we have to be prepared to make ourselves vulnerable.." - Karen Armstrong

I wanted to live everywhere and smell, taste, feel everything. I wanted to go to sea, explore unknown lands, take off in a space rocket, dine only at all-you-can-eat restaurants, be the last to leave parties. What I couldn’t acknowledge then, and hardly now, is that life just isn’t like that for most of us. The quicksands of suburbia were lurking at every step, and those who broke on through to the sunlit uplands couldn’t find their way back, even when the poverty and lack of enthusiasm for climbing means they wanted to come back. It was the dream of an immature young man, which is exactly what I was.
My eyes would be drawn inevitably to the low ridge of purple hills that ringed the east side of Manchester. The weight of the city; of all those people moving on their tiny arcs across its concrete streets, would be lifted for a moment. That place, over there in those hills, was somewhere I could feel alive, where the moment of release could give me the clarity to understand unconsciously that poetry, prophecy, and religion are all one.

- Ed Douglas: Voices from the Summit, 2000
