This dish was served in a large bowl (rather than a plate, as the stock was delicious - it was one of the very few dishes that she was insistent did not require garlic which we both loved), another dish on the table to receive the empty shells, and she usually served rice in yet another dish, for people to help themselves from, as needed.
Actually, that (leftover) broth (strained) could be drunk from a mug, and I consumed another helping of it in that manner on more than one occasion.
A superb and soothing remedy for chest colds, and head colds, as well. Served piping hot.
yum!
I’ve use the leftover stock for a clam or lobster bisque. Perhaps it’s a sin, but I add cayenne to the wine when steaming the clams. It’s tasty in the bisque too!
Sounds a bit like the proverbial "drop of" sherry in consommé, but delicious, nevertheless.
To be honest, until the carer joined us - almost seven years ago, - I had never had clams, but now, - thanks to her clam broth - I love them.
(Mussels, yes, I had already had, steamed in white wine and served with reduced white wine, butter and garlic, a take on classic French cooking.)
That stock would go exceptionally well in any kind of bisque, or indeed, chowder.
Trying to figure what is giving me so much energy: liquid B-12, new digestive enzyme combined with existing or both?
Somehow, I had no sleep deprivation "hangover" yesterday as I only managed 90 minutes sleep overnight.
Not quite as peppy this morning, but still better than usual. Also, I think the dark circles under my eyes look slightly better too.
and presently trying to avoid pot stink on the train into work. 🤢

Possibly the liquid B-12 (I hadn't known it was available in liquid form; when I gave it thought a few decades ago, it came in those massively large tablets).
Anyway, good that you are feeling better.
Here, I have been asked to give a few talks, which is probably a good thing, as it will serve to take me out of myself to some degree.
People smoke pot on the train?
I’m working from home but not feeling productive.
Maybe after lunch.
Cigarettes are a horror anywhere, especially in restaurants and bars, let alone buses or trains.
But, pot?
Ugh.
No, thank you, not on public transport.
BOY OH BOY OH BOY!
Hadn't heard about this yet, but my inner TP-fanboy is awakening as well, hopefully not for nothing. Gotta start keeping up with the rumor mill, thanks for the heads up!
Yeah, the fandom is exploding.
To summarize, a Horror Theatre (co-founded by Jennifer Lynch) broke the news on an imminent huge announcement about the future of Twin Peaks. Then other sources reported that ShowTime and Lynch agreed on producing a season in 2020. Michael Horse (deputy Hawk) did an amazing Instagram post (you should check it...) which basically confirms that there is something secret going on. The Salish Lodge in Snoqualmie (location of the Great Northern Hotel) published a "We feel the Twin Peaks vibe" tweet, on the same day that Lynch published a long tweet praising King County and filming Twin Peaks (coincidentally, the Salish Lodge was closed on that same day for a private event; speculation is that Lynch was there). Mark Frost, who's VERY active (a bit too much...) on Twitter is not denying anything (he's usually pretty quick), and it seems that Kyle MacLachlan is refusing to answer questions about it.
Basically... yeah, I am super-excited. And if it doesn't happen, S3 was perfect anyways.
@Mefisto since you've seen S3:
Today is 10/1, which is the day on the message Bobby and Truman and Hawk find in the thing left by Major Briggs (10/1, 2:53, Jack Rabbit Palace)

Not in the case of Twin Peaks. Season 3 followed up about 25 years later (as promised in 1991) and it wasn't really a prequel, or a sequel. Most of us are still trying to understand what we watched 😛
No, thank goodness. But they board the train reeking of it which sets my allergies off immediately.
Hope you are more productive after lunch.
I am thinking it is both. Though I would not be surprised if it was the B12. Possibly borderline deficient which can become a serious problem. The Wall Street Journal posted an excellent article about B-12 deficiency.

THIS.
People could lose their job due to secondhand pot smoke. I was told by a guy in the Army that it's a big problem for them.
Well, I am so terminally uncool at times, yes, I was a "girly swot" (although I do like my wine, and good craft beer) that I am actually violently allergic to pot (as I am to nicotine).
If pot is smoked at a party (as happened at student or "young people's" parties - in the days when I was a student or young person and attended a few such gatherings), I would spend the evening in the kitchen sitting at the table, a box of tissues to hand, blowing my nose - voluminously - for hours, and hours, for my sinuses reacted explosively to pot.
Are you saying that you prefer LSD or something?
All joking aside, I think it's just lack of respect by some people. We can discuss about legalization ad nauseam, but in the end even if it's legal it doesn't mean that it should be done in a public place. Same applies to a cigarette; it just smells bad, and it annoys people.

It's Lynch so we never know what we get (as we discussed multiple times!) but yes, according to the rumors we might have a follow-up to The Return. Now what will happen in the show (if it happens), no one knows especially given how it ended.
BIG SPOILER AHEAD.
Lynch said a couple of years ago that he wanted to explore Carrie's world, so my guess is that we will get that. Considering how many of the actors are dying - including Albert, Norma and just two days ago the old lady at the casino - he might not have much of a choice.
No.
Even joking, - I've never tried the hard stuff, and it never attracted me in the slightest. Actually, I had acquaintances or class mates at college that fell prey to that stuff and to the sordid lifestyle it entailed, some of whom died, in thrall to addiction, or a casualty of an overdose.
Besides, I know myself well enough to simply say that my drug of choice is alcohol, and none other, and I am quite content with that.
Re respect for others, and respect for the public space, I couldn't agree with you more.

Yeah, in general drugs are bad (and yes, it does include alcohol). It's very difficult to keep them on the moderate side. I too lost some friends due to drugs. I remember a school acquaintance that did some drug in high school, messed him up so bad that he will never recover; if I remember correctly he ended up believing that he was a snake or something, couldn't walk and couldn't talk, had plenty of side-effects. An otherwise healthy guy whose life has been thrown away (and, his family will never recover from that). As a high-schooler, that was VERY enlightening to witness; a wake up call as not many, his death would have had a weaker effect on me.
I recall my stunned shock one evening, having coffee back in my house, as a young teacher in the faculty, with a chap I had known from university who had emigrated to the US, who was home on a visit to his family, when he began to extol the benefits of cocaine usage and enjoined me enthusiastically to embrace the drug, with the (undoubtedly fallacious) argument, "you're a really good teacher - this will make you a brilliant teacher."
As a consequence of that conversation, (and I had earlier helped him with advice and sourcing excellent legal support when he had taken a case - which he won - as a result of getting badly injured while playing indoor soccer) I prudently distanced myself from him and from his circle.
I think that because it was known I was left leaning when I was young, it was thought that I might be - or might have been - an advocate of, or sympathetic to, "radical" or bohemian lifestyles, as well, but, as it happens, I'm not.
My personal life - as opposed to some of my socio-political views - could hardly be more reserved, respectable, restrained and indeed conservative, something which seemed to come as some sort of surprise to some of the people who knew me at the time.

@Mefisto check what Kyle MacLachlan just posted on Instagram...
Oh wow, what a crazy story. As for your last two paragraphs, it always amazes me how some people don't understand that some labeling ("left leaning", "conservative" etc.) does not necessarily mean a total, uncritical marriage to each and every aspect of the ideology behind it, especially when it's the private sphere we're talking about.

Absolutely, and I'm assuming the people "smoking pot" on a train weren't do so legally (or just smelled from previously smoking), and it would've been just as illegal to smoke cigarettes. I mean, there's very limited public areas in the US where you can smoke.
I'd say I'd agree, but as an interesting anecdote my close circle of friends, were, and have continued to be, very controlled, occasional consumers of weed (not including myself, of course ...), and are all highly positive contributors, educated, productive, healthy, have families, businesses, they're doctors, authors, great thinkers, and incredibly respectful of people and the law.
Go figure
