The Drop in Centre
Mikiesboy replied to Mikiesboy's topic in Mikiesboy's Drop in Centre's Mikieboy's Topics
Hmmm... well, some of you may not know, i am a fan of classical music and some opera. I was looking for something from Jonas Kaufmann .. and ran across this. i looked at it and thought, that's Toronto ... and it is, right downtown on the lakeshore. This wonderful soprano, Teiya Kasahara, who is queer, made 19 of these for people during COVID: And this duet is my favourite thing by these two and the one from Bryn Terfel and Andrea Bocelli as well. This is the Pearl Fishers Duet, the part of the opera where these two friends share what nearly drove them apart and their pact to not let it happen again: -

citrus brightens flavours.. especially using fresh juice. Don't choose dark green limes, buy the lightest green limes. Squeeze when they are at room temperature. (I have microwaved them for a few seconds...) -
See the family lying dead on the ground Their crime that night going out for a walk Was religion the reason for your displeasure? Ironic your sin was not cause for a balk Can we let him, among us walk; the one who chose that day to kill? Did his God send him, to take his measure? Mowing them with a truck took no skill Can such a wrong be righted? Will an eye for an eye pay the cost? Can he now repent in leisure? No

No, he was legit, but they should let you know they're coming. This was a service issue i put in, in late March, they are just now getting around to it. Seriously, they want speedy action to reply to customers.. yet.. this is how long it takes them to address tech issues. My boss reached out to some tech guy he knows.. said try this. Worked perfectly. I got a survey a few weeks ago.. what should we change to serve customer's better. I said you need to get rid of Internet explorer and give us tech that works. That's what lets down service. -

We have the 5 quart one ... it's enough for Michael and me.. though if we're making stew it be full to the top.. but it's enough. We did find having two liners helpful on the odd occasion, especially if i make stew and then chili on the same day. -
Aw, thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

We had a few russett potatoes which i put in the IP to cook a couple of days ago. I did 5 medium ones. It took 14 minutes. They were buttery and tasted amazing. If you rather have a crispier skin, you can remove them at about 12 minutes and stick them in the oven at 400f. But we had a chicken Cesar and a 'baked' potato for dinner. The left over taters can be sliced and fried or warmed up again. As the potatoes needed natural release (just being left in the IP for 15 min or so) there was no steam to release. So no heat in the kitchen. Michael looked at me when he tasted one and said, OMG these taste amazing. -

Thank you, Reader. Writing stopped bring joy for awhile.. but it's feeling better again.

Lovely. And the additional stuff with the parents is wonderful. Thanks for these little tales .. this is heartwarming and needed in a world where there is often little to feel good about. We are all normal ... be a better world if everyone could just accept that fact.
