I went to Joshua TreeAnd let's not forget how entirely jealous I still am.
Isn't it just amazing there?
This is my boat. They're part of my crew. No one's getting left. Best you get used to that.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Our friends are moving to Joshua Tree. They're musicians and artists and there's quite a community forming there.
We just went to their going away cookout today.

Ooooh. That period food link is much fun. I now feel the need to have a Gatsby party.
(BTW, what is Kornlet, and is there a modern equivalent? I'm seeing it in a bunch of the Fanny Farmer recipes, with the definition being "Canned green corn pulp." I'm mildly intrigued.)

This dish is creeping me out.
Tomatoes in Aspic
Peel six small firm tomatoes, and remove pulp, having opening in tops as small as possible. Sprinkle insides with salt, invert, and let stand thirty minutes. Fill with vegetable or chicken salad. Cover tops with Mayonnaise to which has been added a small quantity of dissolved gelatine, and garnish with capers and sliced pickles. Place a pan in ice-water, cover bottom with aspic jelly mixture, and let stand until jelly is firm. Arrange tomatoes on jelly garnished side down. Add more aspic jelly mixture, let stand until firm, and so continue until all is used. Chill thoroughly, turn on a serving dish, and garnish around base with parsley.
There are several following it, including "Birds in Aspic."

Lark's tongue in aspic!
Tomato aspic used to be a fairly common dish. Lots of savory aspic /gelatin recipes out there, actually.

I've seen tomato aspic recipes before, but they were usually made with tomato juice. I think it's the image of these stuffed tomatoes suspended in the aspic that's weirding me out. (Also, how is one supposed to serve that? Slice through the tomatoes, or around them, or serve with a spoon?)

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
My grandmother used to serve aspic. My mom loved it but it creeped me out.

The community really is turning into something wonderful for artistic types of all bends. It has been wonderful to watch and get to know a lot of the people involved.
