The apartment had fallen into disarray, so I spent all evening doing dishes, wiping countertops (first for crumbs, then with disinfectant), mopping floors (once with Ammonia and then with hot water), vacuuming (once with the power off for practice, then with the power on as far as the cord would reach) and shaking every rug (once inside, then outside). It must be molting season because I found three of Nathan’s buttons. (I guess they’re his since most of my t-shirts are buttonless.)
Then I entered post-it notes from the kitchen into my computer so I could throw them out… but I didn’t really know how to translate this recipe. (My chemist parents would be horrified…)
Onion Ring Dipping Sauce
2 blobs Mayo
1 blob S. Cream
3 knifetips of Horse
“ “ of Onion Soup
3 sprinkles Paprika
6 drops Tabasco.
"3 knifetips of horse." is that some kind of Fargo slang?????

Posted by: Underblog at July 7, 2005 10:33 AMIt's my shorthand for three tips of a butter knife dipped into a jar of horseradish... which roughly translates into 3/4 teaspoon horseradish.
Posted by: GenerationBob at July 7, 2005 11:53 AMseems straightforward enough..I mean blobs, are sized to one's personal preference ,no? Until you include your onion ring recipe I will not try this.
