General Discussion / Re: geoo visits Simon, May 2024
« on: May 24, 2024, 10:11:12 PM »Dish of the day, serves 4 people:
- 600 g noodles
- 1 celery (= Stangensellerie, not Celeriac = Knollensellerie)
- 2 onions
- 700 g minced pork (probably works with minced beef, too)
- 600 g crème fraîche
- 500 g spinach, deep-frozen creamed spinach
- 400 g lentils (drained net weight is 260 g)
Start by preparing the classic sauce. Fry onions with the minced meat. When both are well-done, extinguish them with the cream. Add spinach. Add lentils. Let this cook for as long as it likes. Stir occasionally. Rule of thumb with every pasta sauce: The sauce shall wait for the pasta, not the other way around.
Cut the celery into small curly pieces. Insert them into the sauce when you like: Either early, which makes them blend in well, or later, which keeps them knackig, but they'll run the entire show themselves. The bush (= the leaves of the celery) tastes well, cut it and put it in, too. Toss away only the wooden parts near the bottom.
After dinner, we played 2-color Igel Ärgern, see image: back of box. Then we played 6-color Igel Ärgern with:
- Both players run 3 colors each. You win as soon as one of your colors wins, i.e., as soon as you have 3 out of 4 same-colored hedgehogs in the goal.
- We added the doping rule: First hedgehog to reach the goal gets disqualified for blatant doping. Its color can still win if all 3 remaining hedgehogs reach the goal.
Then we played Sneak heads-up, but we added geoo's beer-and-pretzels rule of Kontra. When you challenge a sneak, you may announce Kontra to make all revealed cards score 2 points instead of 1 point. Against a Kontra, the sneaker may reveal as usual, or he may fold to lose his cards unrevealed.
