SATAN: His Psychotherapy And Cure By the Unfortunate Dr. Seymour Kassler, J.S.P.S. by Jeremy Leven ‧

RELEASE DATE: May 25, 1982

As in David Shobin's creepy The Unborn (1981), Satan is now a computer. But Leven isn't after chills, he's after laughs--and he gets them in abundance here, thanks partly to mad scientist Leo Szlyck, the creator of the possessed super-machine: it operates off feedback only, off existing energy; it reads minds, knows all, feels pain. And then, during one of crazy Leo's many hospitalizations--this time in a mental hospital named Phlegethon in Citadel, New Jersey--he becomes the patient of Sy Kassler, a clinical psychologist with the sufferings of a Job.

Sy feels that he killed his father through aggravation and disappointment; he has had a nervous breakdown of his own (to which he responded by becoming a psychoanalyst); he's divorced from beautiful but bitchy Vita, who neglected their two children but wouldn't let Sy have custody of them. And now, when Sy gets inventor Leo as a patient, things go really bad: Sy falls in love with Leo's wife Lupa, but she (in love with Satan the computer) becomes a call girl; Sy has a confused homosexual affair with a colleague who later kills himself; the hospital director turns out to be Satan's son-and does neurochemical research on kept-alive brains of the otherwise dead. . . . Yes, folks, this is just your average plot put into shock-therapy, attached to electrodes of Freud, Einstein, Milton--and then Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner. Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner Well, sort of--because Kassler, at the end of his tether, finally agrees to psychoanalyze Satan the computer; and Satan, it seems, is--like the scientist in Leven's first novel, Creator, 1980--simply a frustrated author, a fellow with all kinds of iconoclastic information to impart. (On Adam and Eve: ""I'll tell you Kassler. She looked at his crotch. She looked at her crotch. Then she looked back at his crotch. 'How do I get one of them?' were the first words out of her mouth. It's been a disaster ever since."") Admittedly, Kassler's trials and tribulations--psychiatry exposÉs (along the scabrous lines of Samuel Shem's House of God), divorce/custody nightmares, neurochemical research, hellish sex clubs--are unrisen dumplings swimming in the narrative broth, with the kooky plot just a framework for riffing excursions. But, technicalities aside, Leven has indeed become the self-propelling, science-based, equable comic entertainer that Creator presaged--and, though more bathos and buffa than Bosch, this is an engagingly longwinded, generously satisfying clever-devil of a showpiece.

Waiting for tonight's delight to cool down enough to attack.

It sounded like a good combo, so I decided to use that leftover Kassler loin ham that we had, sliced up to make my own more Swedabilly take on this:

We also had a carton of mushroom and cheese creamy pasta sauce, so I used that plus some very Swedish grated gratin cheese from a bag. The prepared polenta in this case was 3 cups of water worth that I cooked last night specifically to stash in the fridge. I did have to ask him to pick up the asparagus and more grated cheese.

Could have probably fit that into a smaller baking dish, but I thought I'd give it more room to lay it out nicely for a change. This did also get a couple good sprinkles of Creole seasoning

Smells good, at least. Hard to see how that wouldn't be tasty.

We also have some premade oil-and-vinegar cabbage salad for some contrast and more veggie content beyond the bit of asparagus in the main dish.

More of the ham rock. Not juicy but quarzy!!

It really looks like an juicy glittery piece of ham or smoked roasted pork like our „Kassler Ham“

Sauerkraut mit Kassler und Bratwurst

Dieses traditionelle Gericht vereint die herzhaften Aromen von Kassler, geräuchertem Speck und Bratwurst perfekt mit dem säuerlich-frischen Geschmack des Sauerkrauts. Der Apfel verleiht dem Gericht eine leichte Süße, die wunderbar mit der dezenten Säure des Sauerkrauts harmoniert. Der Weißwein und die Fleischbrühe runden das Ganze ab und machen das Gericht herrlich saftig und aromatisch.

The transaction took place on 11 March 1909. That day, the Kassler Fishing Club handed a German colonial official only identified as Dr. v. E. (probably Dr. Max von Eschtruth) an ominous package.

He had been on vacation in Germany. Now, he was about to return to Southwest Africa, a German colony originally founded in 1884. In Antwerp, Belgium, he received an unusual delivery: thousands of brown trout (Salmo trutta fario) eggs. The precious cargo had come from a well-known fish-breeding institution in Saxony, central Germany, and given its destination more than 6,000 nautical miles (ca. 11,100 kilometers) away, had been carefully packed in ice and covered with cloth. Once aboard, it was stored so as to avoid it being exposed to temperatures above 10°C. It was a long journey, three weeks at sea [...] and finally to Swakopmund. [...] After three days by train it arrived in Grootfontein, in central Namibia. According to the Windhuker Nachrichten newspaper, only around two hundred eggs had not survived the long journey. The rest were quickly unpacked and put into a nearby stream. There, many trout eggs stopped moving, and by the next day all were dead: the shock of simply releasing them into 21°C warm water had killed them [...].

---

Part of broader efforts to settle German Southwest Africa, the introduction of fish farming had begun prior to this episode [...]. A variety of experts [...] had long planned wells and dams in light of their desires to turn the arid landscapes of Southwest Africa into self-sustaining [European-style] agricultural settler environments. Countless expeditions had explored and surveyed [...], or had visited neighboring South Africa to learn from the British. [...] In 1904, one observer highlighted two main challenges: “For the breeding of trout and carp, […] the establishment of better water conditions has to be completed first. Plus, it would not be easy to transport stock and seed fish” to German Southwest Africa [...].

Colonialists felt they could confront both issues with an increasing investment in and the construction of colonial infrastructures. In 1903, the completed Mole harbor in Swakopmund allowed settlers to disembark much more easily. Newcomers could also travel by train inland - a much simpler journey compared to relying on oxen wagons. Additionally, the colonial administration offered numerous incentives to settlers, including loans.

Soon new arrivals began pouring into the colony, especially after the German defeat of the Herero and Nama people in what has been [...] called “[one of] the first genocide[s] of the twentieth century.”

---

Early efforts to introduce German fish took shape within these contexts. In fact, in September 1904, the district commander of Windhoek, Max von Eschstruth, tried to introduce carp into an artificial pond. He intended for the pond to become part of an agricultural experiment station, which was established in Neudamm five years later and for which he had planned to acquire carp and tench from the consulate in Cape Town. There, and elsewhere in their colonial empire, British efforts had been much more advanced and successful [...]. However, Eschstruth was only able to get his hands on 50 carp from an institution in Jonkershoek [...]. That cargo was then transported by ship to Swakopmund, later by train to Windhoek - and for the last 35 kilometers a Herero worker had to carry it. [...] [There were] additional attempts in 1911 [to naturalize trout]. That time “roughly 1,000 eggs were still alive” at arrival in Grootfontein [...]. Yet once again the water temperature reached more than 20°C that afternoon - which killed the trout. Utopian expectations did not match realities on the ground.

Over time, German colonial fantasies tied to the introduction of trout began to fade. In 1911, newspapers like the Südwestbote had still been defiant; three years later, the Deutsches Kolonial-Lexikon painted a different picture: “Within German colonies the artificial breeding of Cypriniformes is probably not possible at all” (636). And although references jealously pointed to British successes nearby (649), the publication concluded that the breeding of Salmonidae would only be promising in more mountainous areas.

9 — What Chocolate is your favourite?

I'm not that into chocolate bars. I love hot chocolate, chocolate cake, chocolate ice cream - everything! But I really have to be in a rare mood to eat/buy a chocolate bar. Nevertheless when I eat one it has to be cold and has to come out of the fridge. These are my favourites:

21 — What is your favourite dish?

I'm from a region where we eat kale with fried potatoes, sausages and Kassler pork.

There is a Wikipedia article about it:

(quite funny to read about traditional stuff from your region in a foreign language.)

🍥 Sauerkraut, Kassler, Mettwurst, Speck and mashed potatoes [homemade]

🍔YouTube || 🍟Reddit

[whumpty-dumpty]

Hallo, ich brauche Rat. Welche Wurstsorte passt am besten zur Sauerkrautsuppe? Oder wäre Speck vielleicht besser? Danke Freund!

Hey nonny

Ich denke für Sauerkrautsuppe eignet sich am besten Schweinebauch oder Schinken. Aber ich komme aus Norddeutschland, da isst man Sauerkraut meistens nicht als Suppe (zumindest habe ich noch nie Sauerkrautsuppe gegessen), sondern gekocht oder angebraten, mit Zwiebeln, Wacholderbeeren und Speck und dazu Kassler, aber auch Mettwurst, oder kleine Nürnberger Würstchen.

*******

I think pork belly or ham works best for sauerkraut soup. But I come from northern Germany, where sauerkraut is usually not eaten as a soup (at least I have never had sauerkraut soup), but rather cooked or fried with onions, juniper berries, and bacon, and served with Kassler meat, but also mettwurst or small Nuremberg sausages.

"Die fünfte Generation"

Liebe Gäste,

gestern fanden die Biikefeuer in Nordfriesland statt. Sylt ist dieses Wochenende angenehm gefüllt und das Wetter gestern hat uns nicht im Stich gelassen, recht mild und trocken.

Wir sind dieses Mal nicht zum Feuer gegangen, sondern wurden zu Hause von der Seniorchefin bekocht mit dem traditionellen Grünkohl und Kassler. Momentan genießen wir nämlich die besondere Zeit des Wochenbettes. Wir sind im Dezember Eltern geworden von einem gesunden, zuckersüßen Jungen. Jetzt ist er schon gute zwei Monate alt und diese wundervolle erste Kennenlernzeit können wir richtig genießen auf der Insel, ganz winterlich ruhig und zurückgezogen.

Der kleine Leander Luis ist die fünfte Rohde-Generation, die im Friesenhof lebt. Spannend, ob er ihn irgendwann auch mal betreiben wird. Die ersten drei Generationen waren jeweils begeisterte Gastronomenpaare. Nun ist es zum ersten Mal so, dass nicht beide Elternteile aus dem Hotelfach kommen. Ich liebe Tradition und bin mehr Familienmensch, als ich lange dachte, aber genauso sind wir weltoffene Eltern, die dem Lebens-Flow folgen. Heißt, dass wir offen dafür sind und sein müssen, ob der Kleine später der Tradition folgt und das Hotel weiterführt oder ob er etwas ganz anderes machen möchte. Schwierig, wenn man auf der schönen Insel Sylt aufwächst :), aber wer weiß. Die Welt ist groß. Und natürlich herrscht da ein gewisser Druck, wenn die Familie schon so lange ein Unternehmen besitzt. Aber egal, was im Außen an Meinungen und Umständen herrscht, wir wollen für eine stabile Grundlage sorgen, die unserem Sohn hilft, immer sichere Entscheidungen zu treffen, die ihn glücklich machen.

Erstmal aber freuen wir uns auf unseren ersten Sylter Sommer mit dem Kleinen und den Saisonstart 2025 mit hoffentlich bestem Oster-Wetter!

Ein bisschen Back-Office-Arbeit darf momentan sein, denn im November werden gleich drei spannende Retreats bei uns stattfinden, die wir gerade mit den Veranstaltern planen. „Bewegung, Begegnung, Kreation“ sind die Themen. Und im August feiern wir nun zum dritten Mal unser beliebtes Sommerfest mit Barbecue und Life-Musik. Wir freuen uns!

Bis bald auf Sylt!
