Greetings John B
Further to the formula for my daily enjoyment of Nuqleo previously sent (in which you were such a gentleman to share with our brothers and sisters) I would be remiss if I did not declare WOOPS!, in that the quantities were not correct and out proportion for the true enjoyment of such a delicacy.
The following is Rev 01 of The Nuqlueo Formula (very low carb, about 4-5% total) being a more palatable mixture:
-If possible, exercise or other body locomotion in whatever form and function fires your rocket.
-Once ready to proceed, in a medium cereal bowl:
-200g plain/unflavored, full fat, Cottage Cheese. This equals about 4 rounded tablespoons, more or less
-1 rounded tablespoon 10% unflavored, full fat, Greek (or Turkish) Yogurt. A good alternative in the USA is Mile High, plain/unflavored, full fat, Yogurt.
-2 to 3 tablespoons (generous splash) of Ayran, that intriguing Turkish concoction of yogurt, water, and a dash of salt. The recipe for Ayran can be found online.
-A slightly rounded scoop of Nuqleo.
Mix thoroughly (slowly by hand, not by machine or mixer) with that tablespoon, leaving no Nuqleo lumps unmixed, all the while anticipating the joyous delight to come.
On the side, a nice fresh hot cup of your favorite English or Irish Breakfast Tea, prepared the English/Irish way, with a small dash of milk (full fat pls) for color in the cup first, then hot tea, no sugar.
A brief moment of quiet to take it all in (critical), then Bon Appetite!
Now to hit the reset button with a poignant regarding the passing of the month of August and the Nagasaki A-Bomb mission on 9 August, which had barely a wisper (other than on your show).
As you and many of our brothers and sisters are aviation enthusiasts, I wanted to share a hidden gem of a book that was written back in the 1990s by the Command Pilot of the Nagasaki mission, Maj General (ret) Charles W. Sweeney, called “War’s End”.
Recall in those days, the Smithsonian Museum curator was attempting to assign some comments and impressions of the Hiroshima mission at the B29 Enola Gay display that were far away from factual, to the point of delusional.
WWII veterans, and specifically the 509th Bomb Group, who were on the sharp end of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki missions were up in arms, and rightly so. They took to the airwaves and the printed media to set the record straight.
The resultant book is a hair-raising adventure of Charles Sweeney and that time period which remains the definitive narration of that mission and of time period. Note: Sweeney was the only Pilot whom flew on BOTH missions, the Pilot for the Instrument Aircraft for Hiroshima, and the Command Pilot for Nagasaki strike mission !
For all whom are pilots and/or aviation enthusiasts of any sort as well as history buffs or anyone who enjoys a great read, this book gives an upfront view of a young officer in the USAAF, whom shares his adventure and the reality of what happened and the decisions of the time.
War’ End. Well worth the read. Bon Appetit!, PJ
