Gazpacho and Champagne

Gazpacho and Champagne 01/03/2005 03:10 AM
Last year, to celebrate my unemployment, Lauren and I had a New Year’s Day afternoon social, and it was a lot of fun, so we did it again this year, and I think we’ll go on doing it. The refreshments are those listed above, plus hot lentil soup and cheeses and dips, and we didn’t offer desserts but a few of the guests turned up with ’em and they got snaffled, so I guess we should in future. As for champagne, we find that the Mumm Cordon Rouge hits a good price-performance point. The gazpacho (improvised by Lauren) was just stupendous, got raves all around. The kids get sent upstairs where there are lots of toys and intermittent supervision. We had one injury—somehow they managed to pull down a curtain and the rod hit little Joe on the head, nothing serious but it was kind of scary when he came downstairs with bright red blood running down the side of his neck. Oh, and someone broke the antenna off the toy-racecar remote, and Phil Mansfield disassembled it on the spot and jacked in a new antenna made out of the wire off a champagne cork, it worked fine, is that stylish or what? The crowd included VCs, geeks, businesspeople, neighbours, parents of the kid’s playmates, and miscellaneous old friends. The thirty or forty people who dropped by included only one other blogger, as far as I know, and very few people who read ongoing; an indication, were any needed, that this public-voice thing is in its early days. Plus, Adam dropped off a mix disk labeled “CTI/Kudu (& Others)” which was just ultrasuede, luscious Boogie Nights Seventies organ funk. Same time next year.

Who would be more fun to go out for

I read somewhere that political scientists say that Americans pick their presidents by who they would feel most comfortable sitting down and having a beer with. I watched the debates last night and thought about what a beer test would reveal about the candidates. Going out for a beer with Kerry would probably be a bit of a bore. He gave all the signs of being a serious policy wonk, a Clinton without Clinton's ability to connect with people, but thankfully also without Clinton's pathological need for approval. He would probably spent the evening telling you about his ideas for health care and something esoteric like "The New Energy Economy", and would probably forget to drink his beer. It would be an early evening, and it wouldn't be the kind of thing I would do to relax. Going out for a beer with Bush would probably start off a lot better. He would be charming, backslapping and solicitous of your well-being. However, he had that look and manner that tell you that after the second beer, he would start to change. He'd start complaining about how everybody was against him at work, and the company had it in for him, even though he hadn't done anything wrong. After the third beer, he'd get up to go to the bathroom and he'd start a fight with someone who "bumped" into him at the bar. When you refused to join the fight, he'd depart in a huff, leaving you stuck with the bill, a furious bartender, and worrying who he was going to kill while driving in that state. It might not be the best set of choices, but I'll take the bore any day....

English Channel 07/19/2004 02:52 AM
Divers in the English Channel have discovered the 50-year-old wreck of a French cargo ship with 20,000 half-bottles of (slightly flat) champagne in the hold.

Divers from the Folkestone Diving Club and other south-east clubs, who remain tight-lipped about exactly where and when they found the champagne, dug out bottles to bring back to dry land and cracked them open with friends and family at dinner parties.
