LITTLE MEATBALLS

Dinner was little meatballs with long bean in a peanut-curry sauce, with plenty of chilies. Because, after dealing with smelly old men all day, the caring individual needs to coddle himself. The caring individual being in this case a Dutch American, middle aged, with Indonesian-like tastes.In the Netherlands this would have been followed with a Sumatra tuitknakje or a Glorie van Java corona, perhaps with a small cup of strong coffee and a shot of Oude Genever. But in San Francisco (California) both that type of cigar as well as Dutch gin (old style pot still) are damned well unavailable, because of the children. All limitations on smoking and materials to smoke as well as civilized plonk are because of the children.


No smoking in front of grammar schools? The precious children.

No more menthol cigarettes? The precious precious children.

No Dutch firewater? Undoubtedly the damned kids.

This is an exceptionally great burden!

I wish to call the attention of the international community, once they can get their head out of their collective ass, to this situation. They seem to be preoccupied at present, but they'll come around. It's a very serious crisis! Important!

PREOCCUPATION

Probably should have had some noodles with the curry.

Anyway, it was delicious.
