QotD: Absurdity (PWQ00023)

The PolyBlog

May 12 2025

“There is no absurdity so palpable but that it may be firmly implanted in the human head if you only begin to inculcate it before the age of five, by constantly repeating it with an air of great solemnity.” ~ Schopenhauer, Studies in Pessimism

Sweet Chicken Curry Slow-Cooked with Mango ChutneyJune 16, 2026
Sweet Chicken Curry: This was an adaptation from a diet recipe book for slow cookers, and was a pretty easy recipe (particularly using the slow cooker, but also just the limited number of items to chop / dice / slice). And the mango chutney is really the key to the sweet taste. I wasn't a big fan of chutney before, but it is awesome here.
Chocolate Chip Caramel Rolls baked in Brown Sugar and CinnamonJune 15, 2026
Chocolate Chip Caramel Rolls: I snagged the base for this recipe from a "Taste of Home Fall Baking - Fresh from the Oven" cookbook. My first real attempt at a baking recipe, part of a new goal for myself.
Maple Pork Tenderloin with Maple Syrup and Dijon MustardJune 14, 2026
Maple Pork: Andrea snagged this recipe from her Mom, and it might be a Looney-Spoons recipe originally. It's pork tenderloin with maple syrup. Sure, there's other stuff in it, but those are the two flavours that pop. Totally awesome.

I have rated it "medium-to-hard" for the level of difficulty but that is a bit misleading. The individual steps are not particularly difficult, nor is the sequencing, but there are a significant number of detailed steps (including sous-chef preparations) and it takes a long time to prep and cook; it is definitely not a "quick weeknight meal". I have also rated it "mild" for spice, and I do not have a particularly high threshold.
It’s not you, it’s me: my first book-club breakupJune 12, 2026
I have over 40 general book clubs that I follow, with several having sublists / groups. My intent when I started was to see what was out there and get out of my reading comfort zone, at least insofar as I would see what was on offer. I combed through 2025, and the first six … Continue reading →
