That's hilarious!

I seem to remember that now. Some of my faculty & colleagues were avid fans in the 1960s. It's all they'd talk about in the break area.

Speaking of ancient history

His "deep fried turkey" video is priceless......

This thread helped me decide what to order. "Sous vide" was about the only English terminology on the menu (though Dezert was pretty close) so I decided to czech it out. As it happens, it's a pork tenderloin salad; only the pork was sous vided, not the lettuce, tomato, garlic, or crisps. Quite good.

wish i were there, that looks fab. and i'm hungry!
tomorrow, i'll be making a veg-beef soup, i've got the ingredients, looking fwd to it.

Looks good. I had to look up sous vide. I once knew a Sue Vidor but didn't know what sous vide was. Cooking isn't my forte'.

OK, so I'm curious ... where exactly are you? Somewhere in the Czech Republic, obviously, I don't recognize the fountain, and you stripped out the GPS coordinates from the metadata before posting (or your camera doesn't do GPS). The safe guess is Prague, I'm not sure why I'm thinking it's somewhere else, or at least not in the Old Town.

And the food does look good. I remember when the food in the Czech Republic was pretty bad most places. That was clearly a long time ago, the last few times I have been there I couldn't even find bad food. (Now that my boss doesn't send me there, I haven't been for 4-5 years.)

How was the soup?

At my office in Ohio, today.

Somehow I knew you'd look for that. I use wifi and offline maps, and keep the cell data turned off except when needed, so that's probably why the coordinates weren't included.

Prague? BRNO. The large lipstick/small rocket thing in the center background is sort of a landmark, as is the entire square (which really isn't square), celebrating the fact that the locals don't speak Swedish.
