And that last part, you have to say with the right pauses and a little flourish. That was Coffee Mate's slogan sometime in the 90's. I am having a serious issue with coffee consumption. I don't know if it's the rainy weather, constantly being in coffee houses, or being convinced that the caffeine helps me study, but I have cup after cup of the addictively aromatic brew. I have either Starbuck's house blend or Colombia, always with turbinado sugar (or "in the raw"). And the finishing touch is with Coffee Mate or half-and-half -- nothing else will do -- and then I am in creamy coffee heaven.
Is Ming Tsai sure that he knows what he's doing? He combines shoestring potatoes with cilantro aiolis and panko chips. I mean, I'm so sure. And he seems to use aiolis in all of his dishes, in each episode he instructs its preparation in the exact same way. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Ming, we know. Slowly drip the oil into the food processor. You don't want to go too fast, because it has to emulsify. Yeah, you said last time that if you heat it up too quickly it will break the aioli. You said it in last episode and the episode before that. Aiolis. Great.
I got called on twice this morning in Contracts and had no replies whatsoever for my professor's questions. Honestly, I should never have acknowledged my presence and perhaps there would have been a better result. It was like he called on a mannequin. Imagine that, looking into the rows of students and seeing a plastic Asian mannequin wearing Abercrombie & Fitch in the fourth row, staring blankly ahead with glossy painted black eyes, the light hitting my face (yellow No. 5) creating a slight glare, my synthetic black hair falling straight. The student beside me taps me to tell me Professor Kelly is calling on me, and my right hand falls off at the wrist, revealing only the metal peg that it was hooked on.
I think Jose could get a good laugh out of that -- he is the original "puppet."
