    Default Pearl-Related (sort of)

    An appointment reminder received today from the same dentist who said:

    You don't have to floss all your teeth…only the ones you want to keep.
    Anyway, here is a thread for dumping anything else of dubious value otherwise tastefully hidden.

    The advantage of a humorous reminder is that it is stays in the memory for longer, because it makes you smile/laugh every time you think of it.....and that is why you want to think of it again and spread it, which serves the purpose of the warning so well... Cute message from your dentist! Thanks for sharing

    Good sports all, I know this wouldn't fly if I hadn't already spent a couple of years here…

    Wanted to throw in another example of something that might fit this thread before leaving it to the Pearl Gods. Having read 'Law of Attraction' whereby what and how you think becomes reality, it appears I 'attracted' the aforementioned pearls from the dentist—as well as pearls from one of Spain's top chefs, Pedro Subijana of Restaurante Akelarre in San Sebastián, in a dish conceived and prepared as the first course of a gala menu offered to the Spanish Monarchs in Miami a couple of weeks ago.

    **** con Beberechos y Perlas de Aceite de Oliva /Monk fish with Cockles and Olive Oil Pearls
    (The Spanish term for monk fish unfortunately coincides in spelling with a prohibited English word!)

    As the New York Times Food Section was sitting at our table, it didn't seem too strange that I would take a photo—thinking of all of you here, of course!

    What is an olive oil pearl? And did you eat it?

    That, and the arugula too. The 'pearls' had a liquid olive oil center (non-beaded) and their 'mirror' resulted from high oil content in the pastry. They added creamy texture, a surprise element and the elusive sweetness of ripe olives to the dish.

    I like the 3 rocket leaves as token vegetable!

    Those olive oil pearls remind me of sweet sesame paste dumplings that I love

    Mmmmm, monkfish, yum, yum! Fish is not something I cook often at home, hence I like to eat nice fish when I go out And I love sushi!

    When the economy is bad you just have to find a new way to market pearls. I looked up a French lab on the internet and found this instead. I thought red wine did it all. Just imagine what red wine and pearls can do to you:

    Sounds like a way to reduce the tonnage of all those freshwaters piling up in China. Since it isn't the calcium carbonate that is different, it must be the conchilion. Or perhaps the idea of eating pearls has an effect on the thoughts........

    There is no grain of sand in a natural pearl!

    Hmmm. Never thought about eating the plate although I believe Cleopatra was up for eating the pearls.

    Maybe I should go upstairs and clean off my pearl drill for breakfast.
