Best wishes, Moy. Have a great day with your friends ! I've always thought it was a nice holiday, I like the legend of the Indians inviting Puritan settlers . And I love pumpkin pie !
Have you ever cooked " salmon à l'unilatéral" (One-sided crispy salmon)
You need salmon fillets with skin.
On medium heat, add a tablespoon olive oil to a heavy-bottomed pan. Place salmon fillet skin side down and season with salt and pepper. Only cook on this side until skin gets brown and crispy, the flesh turns opaque (but about 1 cm on top is still "transparent") and white liquid is released. (It should take about 10/15 minutes) Sauce : a simple squirt of lemon juice or butter mixed with chopped aneth or a minced shallot, just browned in olive oil
When fish is cooked, remove from pan and place skin side up on serving platter. The salmon should be moist and flaky and the skin is crisp. Pour sauce on salmon fillet and serve with small boiled potatoes ( my lexicon says "fingerling potatoes"), or lightly braised leek, or green beans (or your side of choice).
I just think he was wise enough not to stand in the way of another possible winner. He looked very tired, but maybe he'll pick himself up later. The good thing I see is that there might be less voters tempted to choose FN !
Sunnydays : none I'm aware of, but living in Picardy, there are so many military graveyards- British, Canadian, American and German as well- and if you have a look at the graves, so many boys were less than 20 ! So sad !
It's sickening -if not surprising- to see that he was endorsed by the most controversial far right leaders in European counties : - In France, National Front founder Jean-Marie Le Pen, who has been fined in France for "inciting racial hatred" ( his daughter Marine somewhat makes efforts to distance FN from its racist image, framing opposition to immigration as an economic issue).
- Dutch Party for Freedom founder Geert Wilders - in Belgium, Filip Dewinter, Flemish nationalist Vlaams Belang party - Golden Dawn, , the ultra-right-wing Greek nationalist party, made a pro-Trump video starring neo-Nazis.
- leading Italian right-wing politician Matteo Salvini (anti-immigration Northern League) -Poland’s conservative Law and Justice party.
-Far-right leaders in Russia, the Czech Republic, Serbia, Slovenia, Sweden ...
Quite alarming, isn't it ? I've seen that a lot of US citizens have been considering leaving the USA for residency in Canada. Does it mean Trump will have to build two walls, one in the South to prevent Mexicans from entering the US and one in the North to stop the Americans from leaving ? Of course, Marine LePen immediately expressed satisfaction.
Really nice dress ! But I wouldn't wear nude tight, specially if you intend to wear ankle boots : navy blue, opaque tights would be much better, I think. A nice scarf, or a long bead chain maybe ? The important thing is that you feel confident and comfortable. Enjoy your outing !
Honestly, it had never bothered me and I would have pronounced it rhyming with "bone", but after reading Jax's question, I had a look at several dictionaries, online English teaching sites and ...none agree ! I found there could be 5, or 6 different pronunciations (not to mention the Irish, American or Australian pronunciations):
I've lived for years in a really multicultural environment , and it was OK until the late 90s, I'd say, and, yes, I have witnessed the Muslim community(or at least, a large part of it) becoming more and more radical, specially the younger generation - women first wearing headscarves, then hijabs ("Niqab", covering the whole face except the eyes is prohibited in public places but you can see lots of women wearing them in many suburban neighbourhoods) and sure, it creates an uneasy feeling. At the same time, the socialist government has proved rather inefficient (understatement !). I don't know if the "Republican Party" could do better ... I still hope so !
