Good morning everyone.
I did go through my crotch rocket days but at my age and history I go for a more seasoned (comfortable) bike now. I have an '03 Electra Glide and a custom '91 Sportster. I'd like to sell Sporty but the problem with custom bikes is not many people want to pay for them. All too often people don't understand what goes into making a bike look the way they see it, the ones that do usually already have their own.
I do also have a Mustang and I like trucks too. I'd love to have an Australian XB GT but unless I win the lottery, that ain't gonna happen. Same goes for the truck I want.

Looks like it is 14 and a half days to pass Biblepay now.

Jay Leno has a jet motorcycle. I don't know if that is a good idea or not.

Show your Chritians Badge to access around the table !

I'm laugthing of course, everybody is welcome. As we say in France : "Quand il y en a pour deux, il y en a pour trois".
When there is for two, there is for three. Wich means, there is always a plate and a seat if one more join us.
(In her farm, my grand-mother always put an empty plate on the table. In case of everyone come while the dish)



Cooking

On ne peut pas faire un trek sans un peu de cuisine. Et vous comprendrez que là, j'utilise la lange Française (et le traducteur).

Aujourd'hui : Truffade Auvergnate .
(Carte pour localiser l'Auvergne en France)

Il ne faut pas se laisser tromper par le nom, qui pourrait faire penser qu'il y a des truffes, mais vient en fait de l'auvergnat "trufadà", qui veut dire pomme de terre.

C'est un plat qui s'est popularisé en même temps que la culture de la pomme de terre, et que nous devons aux bergers qui amenaient les troupeaux dans les pâturages pour l'été.
L'avantage principal était la facilité de conserver les ingrédients : Pomme de terre, Cantal, et poitrine de porc fumée.

Par rapport à la recette en lien, mes origines bretonnes font que je recommande d'utiliser du beurre, que je trouve meilleur au goût.
Dans la version traditionnelle c'est du saindoux, si jamais vous voulez essayer.

Comme c'est un plat assez bourratif, il est souvent servi avec de la salade.

En vin, c'est peut-être un peu original, mais un Cahors Rouge, pour avoir un vin puissant en bouche (Un Merlot Chilien sinon, mais ça fait moins cuisine Française) . Et un Chinon Blanc, en faisant confiance au sommelier (que je ne saurais pas choisir moi même) .


Recette / recipe . Translator

We can not go on a trek without a bit of cooking. And you will understand that here I use the French language (and the translator) .

Today: Truffade Auvergnate .
(Map to locate Auvergne in France)

Do not be fooled by the name, which might suggest that there are truffles, but actually comes from the Auvergne langage "trufadà", which means potato.

It is a dish that became popular with the potato crop, and we owe it to the shepherds who brought the herds to pasture for the summer.
The main advantage was the ease of keeping the ingredients: Potato, Cantal, and smoked pork belly.

Compared to the linked recipe, my Britanian origins make me recommend using butter, which I find better to taste.
In the traditional version it's lard (not sure about the google translation of saindoux) , if you ever want to try it.

As it is a fairly tasty dish, it is often served with salad.

In wine, it may be a bit original, but a Cahors Rouge, to have a powerful wine in the mouth (A Chilean Merlot otherwise, but it's less French cuisine) . And a Chinon Blanc, trusting the sommelier (that I can not choose myself) .


Bon appétit !

In 2000-2003, I made things like that ... My personal speed records, that I'm sure : 90 Km/H in pure descent, 70 Km/H catching a moto. The World Record in roller, it's behind a 911 Porsche, with about 360 Km/H. (let you convert in mph)

Of course, never do that if you are not sure of you ! Even when I forgot how to walk, because I spent all my time to ride when not work, sometime I don't do it. I was not in, it's too dangerous. We were about 30 friends who ride together, I'm the only one whose never go to hospital (even if I fall a lot of time, it's obvious) .

Maybe! Anything is possible. The Christians team will pass Biblepay in about 14 days at current speed, and that date is beyond June 6.

However, the Christians team will pass Biblepay in the near future; it is just a question of when. We were slowly making progress even before the basecampers came to visit.
