May 2nd

12:06 Man... Aduceți cât mai mulți în București...

12:09 Zgomot alb, negru, maro...

12:30 Nu contează. În zece ani vor avea cu toții aplicații de citit creierul sau de citit cu voce tare pe telefon. Nașpa nu știu dacă vor mai avea creiere, de la microunde. Al meu s-a dus pe jumate și oricum nu mai rămăsese prea mult de la monitoare CRT. Nici americanii nu sunt prea departe că și ei au celulare de ținut lângă creier...

1:05 Wondering what proof they have. Yelling's honest face?

Răspunsuri:

Market.

Bine.

Mda.

Titi Quatro.

Queen, ultimul video. Nu era așa de slab în video. Freddie, Arpad. Părul tuns scurt și fălcile mari îi scoteau în evidență fruntea îngustă. (Cântăreții cu gură și cavitate bucală mare au voce puternică). Machiajul mai ales buzele îl făceau însă să pară slab. Tonul e slăbit și miorlăit dar gesturile sunt energice. Vestă? Însă Brian May cu chitara lui Red Special construită de el e fabulos, domnule.

Apropo. Nu înțeleg de ce Prințul Philip nu putea să fie rege, dar Camilla, o comună, poate. Pentru mai multă dramă și exotism?

9:10 Royal Philharmonic. Când rock-ul și marea muzică se întâlnesc chiar pe scenă. Ce chestie să ieși cu un intro de chitară rock, fillings și solo în fața atâtor muzicieni și public cunoscător. Ce cântăreață, ce melodie, ce calitate video. Alte vremuri. Mi se face pielea găină de fiecare dată. Ann Wilson și sora ei Nancy, celebra formație Heart care nu lipsește în nici o zi de vară pe posturile de radio americane.


1:46 I think it's intentionally not done very well, think of what the pros can do, to me for the most part Weeknd's music sounds unreal (humanly impossible vibrato, creepy vocal backgrounds) and Post Malone's as well. Other than that it seems an allusion to what i was experiencing with my hands as i have been very worried about an infection that was due to very tight sleeves of my new jacket.

Also many of the new girls are just models and probably don't have any voice at all. It started a long time ago, with programmable synthesizers. In this video Alan is just moving his fingers on the keyboard, the precision in execution of the notes of song's obsessive motif intro is inhuman.


4:15 How to cook frozen ckicken breasts in no time.

Buy cheap 6 pack fresh breasts from supremarket. Unpack and wrap them with plastic foil and freeze indiviudally.

Take one or two out of the freezer when needed and let them thaw half hour (incomplete thawing). Those with lots of muscle can try do them unthwawed. Cut them in pieces like in the image. Spice and oil and mix bottom up with a spoon or use a lid and shake. Spread a thin layer of coconut oil on a cookie sheet and put them in the oven 15 minutes at 375 degree, then flip and let them until the grease they let in the pan starts burning.

Amazingly today i had two breasts that were frozen to each other, i cut them together and they stayed together and kinda glued together in the pan, resulting in bigger steaks.

9:07 I didn't know! (Good morning Romania!). (10 years ago when i first wrote about on fb or g+ i thought Roșia Poieni was actually Roșia Montana).

10:15 When i realized it was too late. Wanted to go to Walmart mainly for Pharmacy to pick a prescription (more ointment for my arm cause i used it like crazy).

Not satisfied with the way my fries are done in the oven. Soon it's gonna be too hot to do it anyways. So i bought a 2 liter deep fryer. And oil to change at the car. Angela wanted to buy jeans but next to her came... Bebe Rexha. Didn't know she's going to these kinda stores. 95.5 (actually AI) is playing her now at the radio, but after i typed her name. Other crazy things inside the store i won't write about cause i'm wasting my time and everybody's.

The Perfect Fries

20 minutes hands on time, 40 minutes total elapsed time.

Five pounds of potatoes at Winco cost around 2 dollars. The cheapest. Could make 4 times if they were all medium size and healthy which sometimes are. Choose 6-8 medium size potatoes. Wash thoroughly rubbing with your hands, emptying the tub several times. Peel. I use my wonder peeler i bought in Vegas for about 2 dollars. Wash again. Could buy the pink potatoes and don't have to peel them, only wash. Fire the oven.

Don't mind the dimples, try to get rid of the mold stains. Cut in two, four, eight.
Spice. My favorite is dill, but i'm out of it. A bit of olive oil.
Mix by raising the spoon from bottom up. 10-15 times. Grease the pan (cookie sheet) thoroughly. I use a bit of coconut oil. This way you will be able to remove them from the pan. Arrange them.
Put in the oven at medium for 20 minutes. Check with a fork. Serve with yogurt, garlic sauce, V8 or as side for burgers.

Pandemic Cooking. 12" Angry Dough Pizza for About 2 Dollars

From scratch. Some, limited nutrition. 30 minutes hands on time. Elapsed time, about one and a half hours. Feeds 2-4 people.

Flour. One 5 pound (2.5 kg) bag for around 2 bucks at WinCo is enough to make 12 of 12" pizzas. Unbleached all purpose seem to be the norm and trend.

3 (240 ml) cups of flour (400+ gr) and one 300 ml cup of water. One+ topped tablespoon of dry yeast (dip the spoon in the yeast and pull, i keep my yeast indefinitely in a sealed jar in the fridge after opening the pack). A bit of salt. Keep some extra flour in the measuring 3 cup glass mug. First mix flour and yeast then salt then water. Mix for about 2 minutes with the spoon.
It's always hard to figure the flour/water ratio. Add a bit of water or flour while you mix until homogeneous (not like in the first picture below, only partially done). The goal is to make it as soft as possible to handle, later. Think ice cream consistency. Let it raise for about half hour. Indoor temperature is critical. Don't even think below 70 (20 C). If too cold, start the oven and let raise on top in a not too hot area. You will needed it later anyways. I call it angry dough because after raising, the face of an angry guy showed in the dough on the right.
Put some flour on the knitting board. Pour. Rain a bit of flour on top and knit for about 2 minutes. If too soft, add flour, keep knitting. Cut in two. Half will be used to make a pan bread. Or a second pizza, if  you have another pan which i don't.
I use a big jar to flatten one of the halves. A fingertip of coconut oil to grease the pan using your fingers. Essential if you want to ever remove the pizza from the pan after done. Transfer in the pan, add more flour on top and continue to flatten until it fills the pan uniformly.
Mix in a cup some V8, tomato sauce, pizza/pasta sauce, whatever you got with a bit of olive oil and a bit of hot sauce. Spread on the dough. Cut some thin tomato slices. Put on top. Aim to fill the whole pizza.
Grate some cheese on top (Second most expensive ingredient, about 50 cents/pizza). Add the pepperoni or other signature ingredients. Most expensive ingredient. For about 3 dollars you can get pepperoni for about 3 pizzas.
Thin slice a quarter of a pepper, onion. Ornate the pizza. These two give extra flavor, nutrition and help protect the pepperoni getting burned by the heat of the oven.

Let raise on top of the oven for about 20 more minutes. Bak at max oven temperature (500+) for 6-8 minutes or until done. I turned the other half of the dough into a pan fried bread, about 7 minutes on each side, at 4 (medium).

Best way to check if done is to open the oven door, wait a few seconds for the heat to pass, raise it a bit on a side with a stake knife an look under.

Can use your imagination to add or switch topping ingredients as you feel.
