Bettering the sad SAD bachelor. Sort of.

ORAL HISTORY FIXATION COOKING

Filed under: cooking,history,video — admin @ 5:37 pm February 26, 2009

Last night I was poking around online for some simple bachelor dishes to try and/or share and was delighted to find this. Not only does this Great Depression Cooking video meet my need to find a simple recipe (though I probably won’t make it), but it also gives me my oral history fix (which is different from my oral fixation). 91 year-old Clara cooks a simple pasta and pea dish while telling about food during the Great Depression and gives a tale of Prohibition-era bootleggers making whiskey next door (sort of making her a Girl Next Door).  Clara is one bitchin’ babe for 91.  There are a total of 10 videos on the YouTube channel, so you can stock up on cheap recipes and stories in time for the next Great Depression.

What are some easy recipes you like that are bachelor doable?

  • You can’t go around calling nonagenarians “bitchin’ babes.” You have to refer to her as a “sugar.”

  • It really depends on what she calls me.

  • I am confused….there was food available during the Great Depression? Me and my ignorance goes greatly in depth.

  • Sorry, can’t watch the youtube stuff… I will puke…I do that a lot. I am evolving into a Time Lord.

  • I’m a little fuzzy on my Timelord Lore. Puking lore, especially.

  • Here’s a great bachelor recipe. Makes your house smell yummy.

    1 cup lentils
    3 cups water
    1 onion – chopped
    1 tsp minced garlic
    1 tsp salt
    1/8 tsp rosemary flakes

    bring to a boil. turn down the heat a bit and simmer (still boiling, stirring occasionally) for about an hour until all the water is gone/absorbed. Serve over rice. Serve with balsamic vinegar and/or olive oil (if you like that sort of thing). Serve with salad. Refrigerate leftovers and eat for a couple meals.

  • Well, there was some food. It just wasn’t very edible, apparently.

  • Time Lord’s have two hearts in their bods. I have two hearts and apparently this evolution of my body makes me ill sometimes. You soon will be an Uncle John :-)

  • You know I am an uncle already. Though I’m sure it would be interesting to be uncle for Timelord spawn.

  • I’ve been thinking it’s about time for the first female iteration of The Doctor. Of course, the whole Jenny thing from last season hasn’t been satisfactorily concluded. It is pretty exciting that The Doctor has had new female progeny in our lifetime.
