    ...nitey nite..

    A little Chopin for the trip to dreamland.

    Thank you.smiley  I'm familiar with his many nocturnes but hadn't ever heard this piece (Berceuse) previously.  Wikipedia labels it a lullaby but it could easily be a nocturne. 

    "Nocturne", what a wonderful word describing a type of music eliciting quiet evening beauty.  I sometime imagine being at the house of Chopin on a quiet evening, standing out on a balcony while he sits at the piano idly inventing something like that while I watch the moon peek from the clouds and the breezes settle into stillness.

    ...it's why he's my favourite. Even many of his etudes are more concert works than just mere exercises. 

    This is one of my favourites of the set.

    Aren't bracers for archers and swashbucklers?... Those wrist/forearm gauntlet things.

    Are you a swashbuckler? I'm picturing the Dread Pirate Roberts... only a bit less spring in his step... Riding the bus...  checking out belts... I see the clerk in the store asking if you need help and you pointing out a belt with your swashbuckling sword... "How much is that one..."   I'm also picturing the clerk being apathetic and not noticing. 

    Also, I'm referring to the character from "The Princess Bride"... not the notorious darknet drug dealer by the same name.

    But now I'm picturing that too...

    Yes, I've always liked that particular etude.

    Back in the '70s I tried my hand at some of the Chopin etudes but was only able to play fragments of some of them except for one, my favorite, the "Revolutionary" (Op 10 #12).  I drove my neighbors nuts practicing that.  It was the hardest, yet most fun two minutes of my life whenever I was able to show it off.   I haven't played it in 30 years now but I still catch myself playing air-piano with the left hand of that piece (I'm left handed).  A finger-worm is almost as bad an an ear-worm.devil

    ...yeah I get a lot of that (and "foot worm" when listening to certain to organ works) 

    The Etudes were deceptively difficult but so many were so beautiful. My best "showpieces" were the Op 10 #3 (which I linked to), Op 25 #9 "Flutterby" (as my character Leela calls it)

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFNSeohHQj4

    ...and my "tour de force" Op25 #11 "Winter Wind."

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WjpEQBZA44

    Also loved the final of the Op 25 set referred to as "Ocean".  Basically a study for arpeggios, accented notes, and pedal use but with passion written in.  It is said that he wrote this and the C minor "Revolutionary" Etude after receiving news that Warsaw had fallen to the Russian in 1831.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8pkSdOxTjo

    The reason I choose this particular set of recordings by Mr. Ashkenazy is that I feel his interpretations capture the feeling and expression more and are pretty close to how I played them.

    Complaint:  It's chainsaw season here.  Whrrrr, whiiiinnnne, whrrrrrr... hour after hour yesterday and it's started again this morning at 7:30.sad  Somebody nearby is clearing trees.  Possibly ones felled on the hill behind me or down in the swamp in front of me, during recent high winds.

    Ooh, ooh, I know...  It was a test.  A tree fell in the forest, I wasn't there, did it make a sound?  Maybe, maybe not, but there's a lot of sound coming from it now.frown

    fetched out the slow cooker

    got minotaur beef cubes to cook, (total savage dinosaur like) i imagine, never met a dinosaur to watch their eating habits

    tried looking up how to turn it into stroganov

    Stroganov je populárny, pôvodom ruský pokrm, pripravený z kvalitného hovädzieho mäsa s omáčkou z uhoriek, húb a cibule. Pôvodne sa mäso flambovalo vodkou, neskôr koňakom, ale vždy sa ku koncu primiešala krémová smotana.
    Táto gurmánska špecialita je dielom kuchára, ktorý varil v jednom ruskom paláci pre šľachtickú rodinu Stroganov. Recept bol publikovaný prvýkrát v kuchárke už v roku 1861. Čoskoro sa Stroganov rozšíril aj mimo hraníc Ruska. Hlavne do Francúzska, kde obmieňaním rôznych ingrediencií vzniklo viacero variant tejto skvelej minútky.

    V recepte Stroganov môžete použiť aj roštenec namiesto sviečkovice, len mäso chvíľku poduste, aby bolo mäkké.

    Suroviny

    500

    		 g hovädzia sviečkovica

    100

    		 g cibuľa

    100

    		 g šampiňóny čerstvé

    100

    		 g uhorka sterilizovaná

    1

    		 PL horčica dijonská

    1

    		 PL pretlak paradajkový - rajčinový

    50

    		 ml olej olivový

    		 ml koňak

    podľa potreby

    ...not the one I had.  I found out through research that the company's "CS" pretty much doesn't exist from comments by other buyers.  

    To get one that's reputable, reliable, and repairable, expect to pay more.

    Totally agree with KK.   I bought one  in Black Friday Sale,  it broke on 2nd using,   Amazon replaced it,   Next one did exactly the same.  gave up and decided that there wasn't much difference in using an air fryer and using a fan assisted oven.  And my built in cooker has one of those already.
