JFK's Fish Chowder
John F. Kennedy's favorit fish chowder, fundet i arkiverne af Michael Williams fra bloggen A Continuous Lean. Jeg har nogle gange lavet clam chowder, det smager godt, og ovenstående opskrift skal da også afprøves snarligt.

Sommeren var varm
Sommeren var varm
det samme var lidenskaben
køleskabet i stykker
men øllene skulle stadig drikkes kolde
hvordan gør man lige det?
snarrådig dame
isterninger da
tænkte først, wtf, er det en måde at behandle fine øl på?
det var det
de smagte godt, lettere svale, vandet var slet ikke så slemt som frygtet
sommeren forblev varm
det samme med lidenskaben
og øllene kolde
det var en god sommer
tæt på den bedste

International Day of SLAYER Becomes Yearly Holiday
After Guitarist's Death, Fans of Metal Adopt Holiday.
In the wake of Slayer guitarist Jeff Hanneman's death, the directors of the International Day of Slayer -- the Slayer-centric holiday that sprang to life on 6/6/06 -- announce a change in the status the celebration of this year's version of "the world's first heavy metal holiday."
"With the passing of Jeff Hanneman, it would be reasonable to assume that the 2013 celebration of the International Day of Slayer would be a somber one," said Hessian spokesperson and International Day of Slayer CEO Jim Tate, "but nothing could be further from the truth. This year more than any other demands full engagement and celebration from Slayer fans and hessians across the globe." Tate explained that the term "Hessian," derived from the long-haired maniacal mercenaries of the revolutionary war, is a term of cultural self-reference for metal fans.
He explained that the significance of the International Day of Slayer goes far beyond Slayer. "The outside world was once again forced to reckon with us as a cultural movement when they acknowledged the loss of one of metal's most important figures, so it would be a mistake to simply hang our heads and close up shop. Jeff made music that was loud and defiant, and we must continue to uphold this standard in how we commemorate him and represent the hessian community," said Tate.
Many commentators view Slayer as the "archetypal metal band" because of their uncompromising approach, their weaving of a mythology combining technology and occultism, and their unapologetic pursuit of a lifestyle apart from what modern society considers normal. In fact, some consider Slayer the saviors of heavy metal, which was veering toward the populist path which would lead to its assimilation by rock music, and absorption into a "metal-flavored" version of rock for sale as a mainstream product.
International Day of Slayer CTO Dag Hansen spoke up on this point. "Pizza wasn't invented in Italy, Chinese restaurant food was invented in New York, Sri Racha sauce was created in California, Dutch ovens aren't Dutch and French fries have no relation to France," Hansen. said. "We don't want metal to become another culture absorbed by the money machine and turned into a pale imitation of itself."
"We at IDoS ask you to again stand up in the name of Slayer, in the name of metal, and in the name of Jeff Hanneman, and remind the rest of the planet that we are here, and we will not be going away anytime soon," said Tate. "Good music is heroic and ultimately immortal, and now more than ever, the music of Slayer is exactly that. They created the battle hymns that so many of us have used to navigate our lives, ones we will continue to rely upon to as the days ahead grow ever darker. We cannot let these works fade with time. It is sometimes hard to remember that Slayer is comprised of mortal men like ourselves, but with the proper dedication and stewardship, their works can last a thousand years and join the ranks of masters like Beethoven and Wagner. This is what we must strive for by insisting on bands like Slayer for us and future generations."
Reminding listeners that as every year, this year the International Day of Slayer will be on the same date, with the same agenda. "Join us. It is never too late to make your voice heard. Metal is the mission, Slayer is our weapon. On June 6th, stand with us to celebrate as visibly as we can," said Tate. "Don't go to work, listen to Slayer!"
The International Day of Slayer website exhorts users to:
* Listen to Slayer at full blast in your car.
* Listen to Slayer at full blast in your home.
* Listen to Slayer at full blast at your place of employment.
* Listen to Slayer at full blast in any public place you prefer.
DO NOT use headphones! The objective of this day is for everyone within earshot to understand that it is the National Day of Slayer. National holidays in America aren't just about celebrating; they're about forcing it upon non-participants.
Taking that participation to a problematic level
* Stage a "Slay-out." Don't go to work. Listen to Slayer.
* Have a huge block party that clogs up a street in your neighborhood. Blast Slayer albums all evening. Get police cruisers and helicopters on the scene. Finish with a full-scale riot.
* Spray paint Slayer logos on churches, synagogues, or cemeteries.
* Play Slayer covers with your own band (since 99% of your riffs are stolen from Slayer anyway).
* Kill the neighbor's dog and blame it on Slayer.

ABOUT THE INTERNATIONAL DAY OF SLAYER
Started in 2006 as both a parody of the "National Day of Prayer" and a tribute to the band that single-handedly brought the intensity back to heavy metal, the International Day of Slayer is a holiday for all who appreciate metal music and specifically, the works of Slayer. To celebrate, go to www.nationaldayofslayer.org and read the instructions there.
ABOUT SLAYER
Slayer is a speed/death metal band from California who starting in 1983 unleashed a new style of music based on fast tremolo phrasal riffs and chaotic solos, merging the ideological outlook of punk with the metal tendency to find mythology lurking behind the behavior of humans. For more information, visit the band at www.slayer.net
ABOUT JEFF HANNEMAN
Jeff Hanneman, one of the founding members of Slayer, is credited with inventing much of the band's sound and metaphorical approach to lyrics, as well as writing much of its most stirring material. He passed away unexpectedly on May 2, 2013. A public memorial service was held for him at the Hollywood Palladium on May 23.

Estrella Damm - Paella-gate
De går bare så meget mere herligt op i deres madkultur nede sydpå. Det har skabt furore i Spanien at Estrella Damm i en reklame for sin øl, viser løg der bliver hakket til en paella, da der ikke skal løg i paella.
Dårlig stil mener mange, og der bliver ligefrem råbt om paella-gate og bevidst provokation fra det Katalonske ølmærke, imod Valencia hvor paella stammer fra.
Dog er reklamen, og musikken der bliver brugt deri dejlig, så den kan vi da i det mindste nyde, indtil vi igen rammer Spanien og skal have ægte paella. Og hvor er det sgu fedt med sådan en passion, mere af den tak!

Bøger til sommeren
Anbefalet af Euroman i denne post. Der bliver anbefalet Der Er Ingen Ende På Paris (og det er der vitterligt ikke, hvem vil med?) af Ernest Hemmingway. Samt Det Høje Vindue af Raymond Chandler.
En erindring fra byernes by da der var gang i historieskrivningen og kulturen blev kreeret på højeste damp, en bog der får en til at være lidt ked af at leve i vores tid, og ikke dengang. Det virkede bare så meget federe og frit, det kunne jeg godt vænne mig til.
Chandler leverer krimi noir med den Los Angeles baserede privatdetektiv Philip Marlowe som hovedperson, noget som også plejer at byde på god højoktan underholdning.
Udover Chandler og Hemingway kunne man også dykke ned i et par af mine favorit forfattere, hvor Hemingway nu også hører iblandt, Charles Bukowski og Jack Kerouac, som begge tilhører den utilpassede efterkrigs-generation, som drev fra job til job, fra sted til sted, fra eventyr til eventyr, fra rus til rus, og samtidigt fik nedfældet genialiteter henad vejen. Igen skrifter som bringer lidt misundelse frem, når man kigger tilbage til det valg de havde om at kunne være frie, og stadig overleve, sat op imod vores nutidige fastlåste samfund.

Der er stille
Solen står op
Jeg drikker kaffe og spiser jordbærtærte
Der er basketball på skærmen
Kamp syv, der er drama
Ikke en bil eller et menneske på gaden
Det er nu dejligt
Den fred og ro.

De emner er bare ikke iorden at beskæftige sig med, i kommercielt øjemed...
Da dit yndlingsband fik nedtur, var da de begyndte at lave sange, om de emner Janus Køster-Rasmussen tager fat i på, i sit nyeste indlæg på Bloggers By Choice.
Jeg er enig i alt, undtagen Spin Doctors og The Streets, de mistede hverken cred eller niveau ifølge mig, i lige det sekund de indspillede om mad og fame, det kom først senere, men sådan er der jo så meget.
