Pork belly in cider with roasted leek, cheesy butter beans, and greens

Here's a little technological gem: an excerpt from Micro Live, January 1985, wherein they first take a look at the current state of the art in novelty and feature phones, including one capable of storing hundreds of names and numbers, for easy dialling, before introducing a fascinating new radiotelephony technology based on the concept of small

They don't usually have much to do with the posting, so much as whatever food's on my mind. =:) In this case, dinner, due once said pork has finished off in the oven, hopefully gaining a lovely top of crackling, alongside a couple roast parsnips, a couple long sections of leek, and a little chicory. That'll be going alongside some boiled greens, and butter beans that had been sitting underneath the pork whilst in the slow cooker, taking up the flavor of the home made cider and a couple long peppers along the way, and now coated in a soft French cheese whose name I forget, plus a gravy made of said cider, reduced, with a little gravy powder added to thicken and season..

Ah, I need to pick up youtube-dl, yes! Thanks for that. I don't know if it was just a transient issue, or just those files in particular, but I've since downloaded a couple music videos from YouTube without trouble. ^_^

I haven't moved to DW, as I've not felt the necessity of such a severe uprooting. I'll likely maintain an archive in case anything should happen, but given LJ's historically been antagonistic towards Trump's BFF, I'm not anticipating (nor have I heard of) any untoward or surprising actions as a result of the new TOS.

Great to hear from you, in any event. ^_^

Ah, sorry! I somehow managed to miss the subject-line theme before now - possibly because I tend to be immediately drawn to the food content of your posts, and so it never seemed incongruous before.

I hope your crackling worked out! It's so disappointing when it doesn't. I like the idea of beans with soft cheese.

I think I’ve managed to give you access to my Dreamwidth journal via your LiveJournal OpenID (I’m nou over there as well). (It’s kind of annoying that I can’t even post to tell people I’m no longer able to post, and also slightly weird that it’ll let me comment but not post.)
