Chicken in American Mustard sauce
Chicken breast can be bought everywhere and this a most
nutritious, and easily prepared dish using ingredients found
in the home kitchen. The yellow American mustard gives the
color and flavor to this dish. The addition of the garlic
just heightens the flavors. If you want to give it an
“Asian” flavor, sprinkle with chopped coriander before
serving. An ideal main dish for a dinner party at home.

The fun that comes with getting older
I celebrated another birthday last
week. “Celebrated” is probably the wrong word at my age. “Cried” would
probably have been more appropriate as one watches the years tick by and
you are left wondering just how many more are left. Despite everything,
you cannot live forever. Probably a good thing as a world populated by
centenarians would be a trifle daunting and overcrowded too.

Manipulating the image
There is more to
photography than just ‘record’ shots. These shots are those you
take of your wife at the beach with her sister and your
brother-in-law. You know what I mean, and you have taken lots of
them in your lifetime. Photographically, we call these ‘record’
shots as all they are doing is recording an event. No ‘art’ or
even artistic input by the photographer required. “Hold it, one,
two, three,” and you’ve got that record shot. Not something to
blow up and use as wall art.

Sax Therapy

I’ve always had a soft spot for the saxophone, even
since I was a teenager. At the time, I was especially impressed with the
lyrical playing of Frank Trumbauer whose 1927 recording with Bix Beiderbecke
of Singing the Blues was considered a jazz classic. I once
laboriously wrote out the music by listening to the record over and over
again. Trumbauer was particularly associated with the C-melody saxophone
which had a lovely singing tone, though the instrument is rarely seen today.

Persistent Myth
Some time ago, I was having dinner
at one of my favourite restaurants (now sadly gone) and I noticed someone at
a nearby table ordering a bottle of wine. My ears instinctively switched
into bionic mode and I realized that he was ordering a fairly ordinary but
reliable French wine, often seen in these parts. A few minutes later, the
waitress appeared, opened the bottle and poured a sample. This was airily
dismissed with something like, “Oh, I know this wine; I don’t need to taste
it.” Of course, the man had missed the point entirely.

Your

readers are concerned about your
qualifications to dispense what they often
consider questionable advice. Would you
therefore please be so kind as to confirm or
otherwise the following?

Thailand brings NASA air quality data down to earth
For decades, NASA has used
the vantage point of space, combined with airborne and
ground-based field campaigns, to decipher the impact of air
pollution and help other agencies protect people when unhealthy
air threatens the places they live, work, and play. Now,
government agencies in Thailand are harnessing the power of NASA
air quality data and expertise through a unique partnership with
SERVIR.
