Never explain anything. “The more you have to explain,” Whitaker said, “the more difficult it is to win support.” Say the same thing over and over again. “We assume we have to get a voter’s attention seven times to make a sale,” Whitaker said. Subtlety is your enemy. “Words that lean on the mind are no good,” according to Baxter. “They must dent it.” Simplify, simplify, simplify. “A wall goes up,” Whitaker warned, “when you try to make Mr. and Mrs. Average American Citizen work or think.”

Fan flames. “We need more partisanship in this country,” Whitaker said. Never shy from controversy; instead, win the controversy. “The average American doesn’t want to be educated; he doesn’t want to improve his mind; he doesn’t even want to work, consciously, at being a good citizen,” Whitaker advised. “But there are two ways you can interest him in a campaign, and only two that we have ever found successful.” You can put on a fight (“he likes a good hot battle, with no punches pulled”), or you can put on a show (“he likes the movies; he likes mysteries; he likes fireworks and parades”): “So if you can’t fight, PUT ON A SHOW! And if you put on a good show, Mr. and Mrs. America will turn out to see it.”

catering and entertaining a party on the 29th, doing my prep today

lamb stock, lime pickle, dal, two spice mixes for marinades and caramelised brown butter apple juice

[suspect device]

interested to know why you do this so far in advance?

[fingers mccoy]

because i'm busy the rest of the time and i can freeze a bunch of shit

also the lime pickle has to mature

and i have no idea what i'm doing with the apple juice i just want a good amount of it so i can experiment

so do things deteriorate with freezing?

how do you make lime pickle?

not sure what can happen with the apple juice but you did mention lamb so perhaps some twist on that combination

[fingers mccoy]

everything deteriorates inevitably, freezing slows it but it also does some potentially undesirable things to delicate structures with a lot of water in them

but these things can be very desirable for certain stuff

like by and large you don't wanna freeze cucumbers but it's great if you wanna make tzatziki with them, especially if you salt them first

it's good for sauces and stuff like that too but p much anything with fat in it you want to wrap up very tightly because they absorb volatile aromatic compounds very easily

[fingers mccoy]

lime pickle is generally just lime, chilli, salt and garlic, that's what i'm doing. i mixed it up and steamed it now i'm gonna let it air dry for two days then temper it with spices and oil and seal it in a jar to mature

the apple juice is probably gonna be in something sweet but i didn't add any sugar and i reduced the acidity so who knows

the idea is to make a pate de fruit by reducing it, shearing pectin into it and braising slabs of apple in it so it kind of makes a jelly with the cellular texture of apple that i can compress into rectangles and cut out and put in macarons and stuff

[suspect device]

air dry? how do you do that?

i like pate de fruit. what the best fruit to do that with. like if you weren't dong apple, would you have a preference

leave it out

berries, rhubarb, plum

[suspect device]

so just leave it out for two days. what does that achieve?


rhubarb? could you make a custard piece to go with it or is there such a naturally occurring flavour?

[fingers mccoy]

air drying, fermentation, oxidation

not sure what you mean by a naturally occuring flavour but yeah you could make a set custard to go with it, there are custardy fruits. a vanilla pannacotta would be great, or coconut would be good

[suspect device]

hmmmm

ok. so i got an ancient pear tree in the garden. and i was wondering what to do with the fruit. it is ready to drop off. i like chocolate and pear
