Where Is Your Compass Pointing?

During this last little, tiny, tremble in the mighty Dow skyrocket, there were a few people talking about tossing rib-eyes on the barbecue...

Perhaps, getting them outta the air dried deep-freeze might have been more appropriate for just yet.

Right now, we have to do with some simple recipes of the olde folke using ingredients which do not cost the earth.

Look at that caramelized onion!

Don't worry though -  a new installment of the latest TRUE James Bond never-ending saga is on its way. Meanwhile however, let us recall Paris, and days gone by, when the good people performed magic with simple produce:

• onions - you cook these slowly exactly as you would do caramelized onion; you know, sugar, vinegar, and long slow simmering
• beef broth - just boil down some beef, a tiny few grains of whole black pepper
• and sherry.

When everything is all complete - onions suitably caramelized - through them in a ramekin with the beef broth, and -

• stick the ramekin, topped with hard bread and some cheese, under a grill, and
• when bubbling, if not sort of charring, take out, and pour in some sherry into the soup.

The shaman - basically the shaman everywhere say the same thing by the way - say that souls need to head off toward the North Star in order to reach heaven.

Where is the North Star?
What, is the 'North Star...'

Which is fine for those who believe there is better French Onion Soup in Sirius or someplace...

Or, maybe it is that the shaman would like to have all the more to themselves and are shoving everyone else off, as many as they can shunt away!

I shouldn't really slander shaman, they are not the ones trying to head everyone off to WWIII, at '3 minutes to midnight' on the Nuclear Clock, as that propaganda machine the BBC just called it. Besides, everyone knows Putin probably advanced the minute hand...
