I came here in a time when Covid just started, and I couldn't even tell why nothing had taste. Like before Covid sometimes, with nerves shut down. It was one week after the death of Mad Mike Hoare at age 100.

The Irish mercenary, born on St Patrick's Day, led the counter-coup attempt in 1981 against the Marxist president, Albert René. Hoare's disguised mercenaries had AK-47s under the false bottom of their bags when they landed at this airport. After one of them made a suspicious entry in the customs declaration form, his luggage was searched and parts of his AK were found. Gunfight ensued and I stop here with the story because I need to embark. I'm angry at many things.

There's a coin somewhere in the depth of this ocean. Tossed at my first crossing years ago. There was not much luck before that day either. Just grim fate. It feels the same.

This blue consumes.

Nothing tastes.

Time slows.

The world is shifting.

2022-re azt kívánom, hogy

lépjetek túl képességeitek képzelt határain

gondoskodjatok azokról, akik érdemesek rá

főzzetek valami egészségeset

bojkottáljátok a neres kötődésű cégeket

viseljetek maszkot

tudjátok, hogy mi kifogás és mi magyarázat

mert az időnk túl kevés

és mindenről csakis mi tehetünk

Vare 🇸🇨

Traditional Harpooning in Seychelles - The Creole Melting Pot

Harpooning, or vare in creole, is one of the traditional fishing methods that used to be very popular in Seychelles until around the 1960’s

In 2023, it was easy to spot harpooners in the southern part of Mahé in the mornings.

Anyway, here goes today's curry...

Onion, garlic, ginger and spices on butter.. (star anise, curry leaf, fennel, cloves, cinnamon bark, peppercorns, macis...) I've added local powder with turmeric content, just for a bit more color.

+ Bottle gourd and graffiti eggplant, cubed. The eggplant will cook fast and make the curry thick. Like my latinas.

+ Dried bilimbi and some cubed fish filet.
