Both sound pretty good to me, except for the number of drachmas they charge. I love beans (food of the gods) and I love dead things.

Everything is expensive here. It definitely encourages one to eat at home.

Much less keen on dead things than I used to be. Had a Scotch Fillet -- 'rib eye' -- steak last night and that has sated my dead animal cravings for about a week I reckon.

New Robyn Hitchcock video released today. Harlowe, from Prayer Flags plays the bartender (he is a bartender at that club) and the ‘live’ portion of the video is actually an outtake from a Prayer Flags gig, but you only see Harlowe and a bit of the drummer.

That's really cool. I'd sorta forgotten about Robyn Hitchcock. Time for a reacquaintance.

We usually live on soup made with beans and vegetables all winter. In the past, we have made it with vegetable stock or sometimes chicken stock as the broth. This year, we have been boiling down bones and putting in some boiled to mush chuck steak and saving the broth for stock. With white beans it's a lot like cassoulet. We will find out what it's like with black beans or pinto beans before too long.

As far as dead things, my wife found a source for goat meat, and I plan to marinade that for a week and then roast it. It's an experiment. I have had goat meat many times and like it, but haven't cooked it myself before. Goats are the all purpose great animal. They are great to have around as animals, and they taste good. If I got stuck on a desert island and had to have a flock of anything besides Thunderbirds, it would be goats.

A gigantic Seattle-based beverage corporation tried to get off the ground here, but the locals weren't having it. The only people who go to Starbucks are foreign tourists.

Sorry Will, anything goat-y tastes disgusting. They're best just kept as pets.

He’s made some cool recordings in his day, and clearly still is. He’s been living in East Nashville for a few years. Super friendly fella, weird as all get out, but I like him. Have had the pleasure of playing bass for him a couple times and he’s sat in with us.

I even like goat cheese. Partly in self defense. Cow milk does unpleasant things to my nose.

But, thanks for the head's up. I won't have it on the menu when you and him indoors come for a visit.

I'm not surprised he's a weird guy. I think you would have to be to be Robyn Hitchcock.

Seattle based people generally don't drink that burnt stuff, either.

On the infrequent occasions I drink coffee it used to be a macchiato, but they vary so much in 'interpretation' that these day's I'll order a cappucino as no one can get that wrong. No one but NO ONE can make a decent cup of tea outside the home in this country. Weird arse little tea pots with dribbly spouts and the water is always luke warm.

To quote Ginger Baker... "If the water's not boiling, then tea, you have not" :rollno:
