  2. Getting a good socarrat (or socarradet) is an art in itself. Hardcore paella purists don't mix seafood with land animals, but it's true that some paella styles, considering this is a "poor people" dish created to use easily available (for the zone) components, and leftovers, mix them. A seafood paella can include mussels, clams, shrimp, prawn, cuttlefish or squid, even octopus, lobster, crayfish (or a variant of it which serves just to provide taste but it's not really eatable). For color you use always saffron. Some other fishes, their heads and scrapes (monkfish is a personal favourite for this) are used to make the broth that we'll use to boil the whole thing once the seafood is sauté with the onion, garlic and other vegetables and you add the rice. The "land" paella uses basically rabbit or hare, lamb, pork or chicken. Then the broth to boil is made from hen and some bone you have around (jamón is particularly tasty). I couldn't make a really good paella even if my life depended on it, nor my wife, but I know where we can eat a really good one

    Nice watch on your wrist. Congratulations, I wish the seller pays for the "cosmetic treatment".

    Yup, as in vicepresident. Latin roots may be confusing at times
  6. I think the most difficult part of doing that must be keeping the body straight and not moving the head at all. I still wouldn't be surprised if at some point they disclosed that they use skates.

    When my dad died and my mother let's say wasn't available, they were my father's best friends and took some care of myself. Kind of I adopted them as parents

    I haven't watched The Imitation Game, sorry. I'll see if it's available on my streaming service and will come back with the results.

    My disparaging is not in support of Brett, it's just that I can't stand Cumberbatch's acting (in)capabilities. Probably more my fault than his. Excuse me if my previous post was too harsh on him, I would edit it if sounds offensive.

    My vice-parents gave me a gold, automatic, center seconds and date Maurice Lacroix in 1990, for finishing school and passing the public examinations to become a specialist. I've used it a lot, on a daily basis for five years when I received it, then from time to time. Wife used it for a whole year like two years ago, it's a small watch like 32mm or so, specially for modern standards. I've replaced its lizard strap like three times, so you get the idea of the use it's received. Last week has been the first time I took it for servicing in more than twenty years, because the watch run, but behind for about a minute/day which is far from normal. They say it's mostly OK but that one of the gears is worn out and needs replacement, also the bearing--of the flywheel I guess--. Not bad at all for a "second or third tier" mechanical watch. I agree with Jacob, Maurice Lacroix received a bad consideration for making affordable quartz watches, but their mechanical ones and their design are pretty good. Still some snobs will look at it over the shoulder with disdain.

    I don't think a piece of shit of an actor like Cumberbatch deserves an argument between you, dear gentlemen. He's the only reason I've not been able to watch a single episode of Sherlock. Most of my friends, including you, who have watched the show have recommended it, and I've tried to follow the advice, but as soon as I see this guy's face and all his lack of acting, I can't go on. My loss, I know...

    Pretty nice, Jacob. That will deserve a lot of pics of your wrist wearing it

    It looks really good, please share your thoughts.
  14. Joshua Redman Quartet - Spirit of the Moment: Live at the Village Vanguard (1995) Available at Spotify and Tidal It has the privilege of being among the very few post 1990 albums to make the New Yorker list of 100 Essential Jazz Albums. As a matter of fact only eight post 1970 albums made that list (not a free and avant-gard jazzer myself).
  15. Just great, Steve. NFLO Edit: looks like yesterday night I was too tired even to write the right name. Sorry Steve
  16. OMG, they're not kidding

    If a pairing with Watson is needed, Crick could be a good one.
  18. Happy birthday!!! I wish you have a great day, my friend
  19. Ella Fitzgerald - Ella Fitzgerald Sings Songs From "Let No Man Write My Epitaph"
  20. Upgraded connection speeds Pretty satisfied, it's a bit above the advertised speed
  21. Torpedo replied to Dusty Chalk's topic in Miscellaneous
    Just because customs limitations into the US have been removed by Rolex?
  22. Happy birthday!!!
  23. It definitely needs servicing. Good luck
  24. My McBook does this like once a year, it's his way of reminding me to clean the fans and the ventilation grid.
  25. Sorry.
