A while back I saw someone’s self-description. She informed the reader that she spent a large amount of time thinking about coffee and goats.
I also spend a lot of time thinking about coffee, and goats.
They’re delicious.
She views them in connection with cheese.
Goat cheese.
I regard them in the light of curry.
Goat curry.
Possibly this is an irreconcilable difference.
Goat curry requires a decisive hand with black pepper, and the addition of a cinnamon stick. In addition to coriander seed powder, a touch of turmeric, ginger, cardamom, fiery chilipaste, fried onions, and a splash of coconut milk.
Plus some fresh green chilies, and cilantro.
Years ago there was a splendid Halal market on Polk Street.
Which is now a mediocre Mediterranean take-out.
Gone is the ready availability of goat.
Goat curry; it’s what Athena used to restore Penelope’s vibrant youth.
That which marks the crimes of Tantalus and Tydeus.
Psyche’s route to immortality.
The ineffable.
Goat cheese is also pretty good.

This post led me today to learn about the existence of kopi luwak - which I truly wish I didn't know about.
Civet poo coffee.
I had the opportunity to try it, but politely declined.
Quote: "The Trung Nguyên Coffee Company in Vietnam, through its work in isolating the civet's digestive enzymes, has patented its own synthetic enzyme soak, which is used in its Legendee brand simulated kopi luwak coffee."
End quote.
All hail the Trung Nguyên Coffee Company.
Quote:
"The Asian palm civet is believed to lead a solitary lifestyle, except for brief periods during mating. It is both terrestrial and arboreal, showing nocturnal activity patterns with peaks between late evening until after midnight. It is usually active between 6:00 pm and 4:00 am, being less active during nights when the moon is brightest.
It performs scent marking using anal glands, urine, and feces. The most common marking behavior is dragging the anal glands on a surface to leave a scent. It is able to identify animal species, sex, and whether the animal that left the scent is known or unknown by smelling an anal scent secretion."
End quote.

It says further that the scent glands emit a "nauseating secretion".
Wonderful.
No wonder the little bastard leads a solitary lifestyle.
