a bowl of yummo stuff

a few croutons in the bottom of the bowl
a scant handful of mixed shredded Italian cheeses
a couple of ladles of curry lentil soup
about 2 tablespoons of really nice pork roast edges (the pork roast was cooked in a little bit of oil, a bottle of Rickard's Honey Brown Ale, and a handful of herbs)

soooo tasty

I like Sardo dolci, but sometimes it's too salty even for me. Like fresh pecorino, but I'd have to take lengthy plane flights to get it.

The Manchego was expensive per pound; wonder if it's fractionally less so elsewhere in town. (TJ's is, who knows, at least ten miles away, as is Whole Foods). Will have to check out what Sunflower (closer) has.

Oh how sweet of you Onyxellekins; however:


?'Hair of the dog'

The phrase may have some roots in the Latin phrase Similia similibus curantur ("like cures like").

The phrase is also used in a more general context to mean "a little dose of something which caused your problems in the first place," can be used to cure the problem.

Instances of the phrase have appeared in English literature since the time of William Shakespeare. Ebenezer Cobham Brewer writes in the Dictionary of Phrase and Fable (1898): "In Scotland it is a popular belief that a few hairs of the dog that bit you applied to the wound will prevent evil consequences.

Applied to drinks, it means, if overnight you have indulged too freely, take a glass of the same wine next morning to soothe the nerves. 'If this dog do you bite, soon as out of your bed, take a hair of the tail in the morning.'"

He also cites two apocryphal poems containing the phrase, one of which is attributed to Aristophanes. It is not known whether the idea of like curing like with like, or the practice (which may have other psychological causes) came first. Certainly it is possible that the phrase was used to justify an existing practice.

Or as they say in Rome, "A fronte praecipitium a tergo lupi."

As they say in Krautland, start drinking in the morning whatever gave
you a headache from the past evening.

I just had avocado toast (don't ask)
