It’s come back in podcasts - most of the ad content I hear is spoken by the presenter and not distinguished by any musical cues or the like.

Old radio pretty much cut to the narrator without any musical cue. It was: “And so, Johnny Adventure hides from troops of Dr. Polar while he waits for help in the arctic cold. And you know friends, one way to beat the cold this winter is with Blue Coal. Blue coal! Scientifically proven to last longer, and you’ll recognize it by it’s blue hue. Yes, friends, not all coal is the same. In fact…”

I’m not familiar with their soups, but Maggi Seasoning is an essential ingredient in the deliciousness of Vietnamese-American garlic noodles, such as those famously served at Crustacean in SF (although I personally prefer the Little Green Cyclo food truck recipe.)

And now, a word from the Toast Advisory Board.

So, rather like reading “Ancillary Justice”, only with soup instead of tea. And I’m kinda glad that Neuromancer didn’t start with “The sky above the port was the color of a bowl of pea soup”.

I’m reading Ancillary Sword at the moment. Leckie seems to have a weird tea addiction or something. There isn’t a single page in this book without the word tea on it.

It’s just a way of emphasising the difference of the SF future society to the modern USA. The gloves thing is the same idea.
I probably have some kind of official addiction to salt, I think, This morning, I thoroughly enjoyed my mushroom, spinach and homemade sauerkraut omelette.
I did not rinse my sauerkraut (which I make with this salt) before adding. My German mom always rinses hers.
I like that salt! It has a really good flavor.
Sounds intriguing… could you lost the recipe?

Omlette recipes at our house are all the same: 2 eggs and a dash of whole milk beaten together in a bowl. Dump in hot cast iron frying pan that has a good spoonful of olive oil in it.
Rummage in fridge for things to throw in it, all sliced thinly to keep the cooking time to a minimum. Time and eggs wait for no man, said Julia Child once, somewhere long ago.
In my case, thinly sliced slightly withered baby portobello mushrooms, shredded spinach that was getting old and wilted, and a few forkfuls of sauerkraut. Add a few twists of fresh ground pepper, put a lid on the pan, turn the heat way down. Fold the whole thing in half the minute the center is cooked through.
I am off cheese this week, but in a different world, a cheese or a hollandaise sauce would be nice over the top of it. Making a hollandaise from scratch is time-consuming, but it is the only way I like it. Alas, no time…
Even the nearly irresistable charms of Maggi cannot compete with a scratch-made sauce. No match, I say! Not even if it is the one thing while camping that would relieve the boredom of powdered scrambled egg mix!
