First, I did a quick cure of some pork belly to turn it into petit salé.</p> <figure> <img alt="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50556844798_fdc3e43668_b.jpg" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50556844798_fdc3e43668_b.jpg"> </figure> <p>On election day I sauteed onions, garlic, carrots, bay leaves, and simmered them with homemade sauerkraut, adding the petit salé, ham, kielbasa, and boudin blanc at the end.</p> <figure> <img alt="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50581247183_3401bd5cfa_b.jpg" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50581247183_3401bd5cfa_b.jpg"> </figure> <p>This kept me well stressed-fed through Thursday. Friday we had kimchi and cheddar cheese quesadillas and some sparkling wine from California as Biden and Harris neared victory.</p> <p>Saturday morning? I don't remember what we ate. I don't think I needed anything after so much choucroute garnie the week before and after the good news. I took a bunch of backlogged junk to the dump, which seemed like the perfect way to celebrate Trump's loss.</p>electionlifepoliticshttps://sgillies.net/2020/11/11/surviving-the-election.htmlThu, 12 Nov 2020 01:01:58 GMThttps://sgillies.net/2020/11/10/whew.htmlSean Gillies<p>I don't have too much to say about the election. It was dramatic and stressed me out quite a bit. I'm extremely relieved that Biden and Harris won and can't wait to see Trump and his band of racist crooks and incompetent toadies leave. It's perplexing that so many Americans voted for this cruel, narcissistic clown. Only 71 more days. I hope he spends all of them golfing instead of doing more damage.</p>electionlifepoliticshttps://sgillies.net/2020/11/10/whew.htmlWed, 11 Nov 2020 03:47:43 GMT
