Weekend activities! (old thread reanimated)

After a long time of abstinence!!!
Just back from the opera (Nationaltheater München)
“La forza des destino”
Unfortunately the local star Jonas Kaufmann was indisposed in health.
Some spectators must have been very disappointed.
(Expensive tickets. The most expensive 235 Euros)
We got ours for free (very special relations :wink:)
Same source for final rehearsals’ tickets.

But his substitute was really a good singer.
So all was fine.
Really great performance.

We have seen this production 3 years ago.
But a great opera can be seen often. :grinning:

I agree, usually I have habanero frequently, and we grow many type over the summer.

This year we had some habs and rezha Macedonian ones. Haven’t yet tried the rezhas.

Also have for the bbq, some reaper steak spice, and scorpion rub. Steak spice was very nice.

Never been there and great picture :+1:

I would have enjoy if they’d had put the sauce in with the meat, but it was layered on top, at least I was enjoying at home and had yogurt on the stand by… the guy making it wished me luck, saying he tried a bit and was crying pretty bad afterwards…

If you’ve watched the kitchen parts of hot food challenges, when they put the heat in the meat, the act of cooking meat causes a noxious smoke in the kitchen for the throat and eyes of the cook.

When they make a hot sauce it doesn’t have to get as hot as needed to cook meat, so it’s eaiser.

Also it’s cheaper to have all ingredients same bar the sauce as it’s just one different choice at end on assembly.

Hence why I think they just vary the sauce, it’s cheaper.

Hey all.
Been out for a short wander today around our local University, The University of East Anglia.
Some might recognise this building from Avengers End Game.
It the Sainsburys Center for Visual Arts.

I’m walking a lot as I don’t like biking in rain. It’s passing heavy showers which benefits from a coat but it’s too warm. Walking with my tablet two thumbs typing.

Spring and summer is around the corner so I’m researching garden furniture which should hit lowest price next month.

You should take a look at such special websites we have here eg. “ebay Kleinanzeigen” (its not such a “den of robbers” like ebay,
No costs.
Many things for free and cheap.

I am sure you will find some used good garden furniture in good condition.
I got some useful things from there.
For example tar paper for my wood shelters,
Otherwise this would have gone to the garbage.
And I am often donating things this way.
