Heroes returns

6th letter from Sophie

Dear Sontho,


How have you been? I am sorry if my last letter left a nasty taste on your tongue... we shall talk about it later... I am please to hear that you are back at the pool hall and was quite amused by the sotry you told me involving Tom, Ernesto and that pre-freshman... quite amusing...
I find myself worried about you situation and am somewhat please that you are trying to resolve it... but the subject of this letter is in regards to your conversation with Jason Smalley:

He is right... you suffer of a case of "spurrious efficiency"... One have to be amazed by your total obedience to economic rules... whither it is an part of your personality or a consequence of your studies is upto you to analize. However, find it quite (with no pun intended) inefficient, that is for the reasons as followed:

• First, you often now what you want to do but let yourself be drag into poorly constrive formulæ where you just adjust the results to suit your own preference... time wasted, your life --and neither mine --could be simplified to suit such conctions.
• Second, you are a free thinker... there is nothing more to say on that matter... you claims to atheistic "penchants" coupled with your excesif obedience to (what may seem as religious) "ordonances" (while standing as a contradiction in itself) may be proof to the matter.
• Lastly, you don't need it... clear and simple... let it float... everything will be at an equilibrium...

Life is a risk and you are aware of the right choice... take them...

Your Sincere Freind:
Sophie D'Auréole.

Rice and vegetable sauce

Okay this one was hard to come up with and even harder to swallow... but if you are good with rice it will come out a little better for you...

1. Warm some oil in a pot large enough to cook the rice at medium heat... when it is hot enough add wax beans and let them fry for 3 fourths of a minute with salt and lime season, then add 1 and 1/2 cup of tied water and let the mix boil...
2. Wash 2 and 3/4 cups of rice with cold tap water... when the water starts to boil add the drained out rice, stir (again, don't... actually: never shake) it up, and let it cook at a halfway-from-medium fire... remove or add some water as needed... it should take about ten to fifteen minutes to be well cooked...

That was the hard part... the rest is a piece of cake...

• Warm some oil in a pot then let fry three sausage cut up to your liking...
  
• When they are fried, add 1 can of French-style-green beans and 1 can of diced carrots... let them fry altogether...
• Then finally --still using Yamilée François formula --we'll make some sauce (in the same pot as the vegetables and sausages): "have 1 can of tomato paste, 1 can of diced tomatoes, a little bit of your fav wine , add some oregano and/or onions, bring these to a boil ( to let the alcohol burn out)..."

And if you are like me... you would want some toast bread and diced apple on a side plate a glass of you favorite wine...

Note: These are original receipes and should always be credited to me... also (as always): I am an economist, not a cook!!

Rice and Sweet corn chicken

Since sometime now I have made it a habit to cook; here is my latest concoction:

1. Season some white chicken breast strips, with whichever season your prefer. I would go for some cinnemon and lime season, a tad-bit of salt with pepper and garlic season. Let it sit with a little vinegar juice... I used apple cider vinnegar... on the side let your frypan warm up with some oil...
   
2. Warm some oil in a pot large enough to cook the rice at medium heat... when it is hot enough add sweet corn and green peas and let them fry for 3 fourths of a minute with salt and lime season, then add 1 and 1/2 cup of tied water and let the mix boil...
3. Wash 2 and 3/4 cups of rice with cold tap water... when the water starts to boil add the drained out rice, stir (don't shake) it up, and let it cook at a halfway-from-medium fire... remove or add some water as needed... it should take about ten to fifteen minutes to be well cooked...
4. By then your frypan should be hot enough, cut your breast strips at your whim and let it fry to the level of your choice at a halfway-from-medium fire... flip over as needed...

Okay this is the part of the meal that we (french speakers) call: "la crême de la crême":

• On the side... we should create some tomato sauce: "have 1 can of tomato paste, 1 can of diced tomatoes, a little bit of your fav wine , add some oregano and/or onions, bring these to a boil ( to let the alcohol burn out)..." (this part is due at a great thanks to Yamilée François)
• Lastly (if you please) let some corn on cobb boil to a point...

And... Voilà!

5th letter from Sophie

Dear Sontho,


I am unhappy with your behavior today.... and that is the least I have to say. You have no excuse and cannot correct your actions; learn from them and... for the least, try not to repeat such manner.

Good night and good luck....

Alfredo's Sweet Shrimp Pasta

T'is my first attempt at cooking... here is the receipe if you dare:

1. Boile your shrimp at the same time you are boiling the pasta... not in the same pot please
2. Heat up some oil in a different pot then let the cooked shrimp fry in it
3. Add alfredo sauce

So far there is nothing original... next, though:

• add sweet green peas and corn into the mix and let it boil
• then add the pasta

Prest o you just cooked the most fatening meal ever... enjoy

4th letter from Sophie

Dear Sontho,

I have recently red your short story... to me it was of no litterary value and lack true taste. I am disappointed in your first attempt at writing a concise story. You could have done better... Nonetheless kuddos to you for the attempt.

Yet let us talk of a matter more dear to you than this short story... you are face with a problem and you know the answers. As your mind works, you see your dominant strategy and perhaps you have already chosen it. But listein to meet very carefull:

You don't have to win walking out with a defeat is perhaps a victory in disguise... Let it go: you played and almost won... but you lost.

Some losses are just wins... let be...

Your Sincere Freind:
Sophie D'Auréole.
