As we move into summer (okay, at the moment it feels like winter again, but let’s not talk about that), the heavy cooked foods are often replaced with lighter, cooler fare. Nothing could be more appropriate, then, than Carpaccio. At it’s core, it’s not much more than thinly sliced raw beef combined with some rocket/argula, parmesan, salt, pepper and olive oil. And yet, a good carpaccio is so much more than the sum of its parts.
A good carpaccio (and really, you shouldn’t eat the bad stuff) is melt in your mouth tender, packed with tons of umami goodness. It is fresh and earthy and oh so delicious. What better way to start your meal on a warn summer evening?

“PewDiePie’s game tops mobile charts across the world”, love or hate him, gotta respect the fact that he has found another way to monetise himself.
Also
Neil DeGrasse Tyson is a bit dry, but on the whole I really enjoyed his Cosmos reboot. A bit irradiating (irritating) at times, the whole “spaceship” thing.

I saved the Geth cause they got more personality than the Quarians.

Yeah and by Thursday I will be wet from working outside again… Which Cape Town will now make up its mind. But then again we need water for the dams, so let me not moan too much about the rain.
