These small revolutions affirm the human. I have an incredible sweet tooth - chocolate pudding with vanilla ice-cream or trifle and pavlova.
Visiting today's Iran, I was delighted to find that citizens made a point of defying the clerical ban on booze, keeping it in their homes for visitors even if they didn't particularly take to it themselves, and bootlegging it with great brio and ingenuity. It's not a coincidence that Omar Khayyam, rebuking and ridiculing the stone-faced Iranian mullahs of his time, pointed to the value of the grape as a mockery of their joyless and sterile regime. No better form of sodality has ever been devised: at Oxford one was positively expected to take wine during tutorials. The same applies to the seder at Passover, which is obviously modeled on the Platonic symposium: questions are asked (especially of the young) while wine is circulated. The only worthwhile miracle in the New Testament-the transmutation of water into wine during the wedding at Cana-is a tribute to the persistence of Hellenism in an otherwise austere Judaea. “Alcohol makes other people less tedious, and food less bland, and can help provide what the Greeks called entheos, or the slight buzz of inspiration when reading or writing. “Well, I can blanch or I can talk, but I can’t do both.” And I don’t want to hear, Schmidt, Schmidt, you’re using too much tarragon- because I’m not.” “I’m cooking the whole meal, and I don’t want you touching anything. “I would really appreciate it if your non-Tahitian vanilla was not touching my Tahitian vanilla.” I have an incredible sweet tooth - chocolate pudding with vanilla ice-cream or trifle and pavlova.

“Anyone who tells you the future of gravy is nitrogen-based is cooking with blinders on, Cee-Cee.” Do you know what that means? It means it doesn’t smash up the beans like some pedestrian blade grinder-it actually grinds them for a deeper, richer, more satisfying flavor profile!” “It’s a top-of-the-line conical burr coffee grinder. “Everyone drinks Midori sours! It is a melon liqueur, an American classic with an Asian influence!” A little fatty tune, yellow T, Cali roll, samurai snack… so scrummy.” I have an incredible sweet tooth - chocolate pudding with vanilla ice-cream or trifle and pavlova. “No, no, no-water crackers are for adults. Then, POW!-Spencer never saw that ridiculous piece of man-jewelry coming.Īnd now, please enjoy some scones (for that jam you are craving), as well as a few more Schmidt foodie rants. But Schmidt’s detailed knowledge of jam-making deserves equal credit, lulling Spencer into a defenseless state as he had to have been wondering, Why does this guy know so much about jam?…And what’s a tayberry? It was actually an all-too-close encounter with the skull thumb ring that made Spencer give up the T-shirt. You know how time-consuming that can be? You need a jar funnel, a canner, some fresh fruit…strawberries, raspberries, maybe a tayberry…” Jess and her new roommates go to her ex-boyfriend Spencer’s house to get her stuff back, and when Spencer refuses to return her hard-earned “Jam-boree” T-shirt (“jam,” as in what you put on toast-get it? Jam-boree), Schmidt gets tough, trying to strong-arm Spencer, foodie-style: But it wasn’t until later that episode when I realized there was even more funny in this character to love. If I had to pick a moment, it would be early in the second episode-Schmidt had me at the skull thumb ring.
