Are you kidding, with six cats I was lucky to get some... they can eat
faster than I can slice... I think they ate more than half.

My cauliflower and cabbage were small this year but still very good.

But my first attempt at growing celery surprised me, what a difference
from store bought, a rich aroma, remarkable flavor, and it's the
crunchiest! And I have five more still in the ground. Now I need to
perfect my celery growing, I need to plant them much closer together,
I found out that they grow more compact if they touch and they will
also self blanch... the one necessity however is a long growing season
(5 months) and plenty of water. I think anyone can grow celery, needs
very little space, a square foot will easily grow four bunches. So
now we know what to plant in that wet spot.

You'd think after that nice dinner I shouldn't be hungry, but I'm
starving. Why, because I get my flu shot tomorrow and at the same
time I'll get my yearly routine fasting blood test, no eating/drinking
from 9PM.

Geez, my cat just stares until I share a teensy taste of my pot roast.
Or turkey.

They looked great.

I guess that's what I read, that celery has a long growing season.
Interesting about growing them close together.

Heh. The minute I can't eat, I get hungry, too. Good luck with your
medical stuff.

An old steak. I usually don't freeze tender steak but this was one of
those I mentioned a while ago that were too good a price to forego.

A steak that thin we call "sandwich steak".

And after all that *****ing you do about "freezing steak ruins it
- only dumb wops freeze steak!", there you are: Cooking a thawed,
frozen steak.

Either that or you've been aging it in your fridge for almost 2
months.

Doh!

Funny, my cats have NO interest in human food what-so-ever.

One of mine does, and one doesn't. And I had a cat for 20 years
who never touched it.

$5.99/# might be about the price that I would buy a few extra of such
a good looking porterhouses for the freezer.

Decent porterhouse here abouts is typically $9-$10lb, so I thought
these a bargain.

I can't see the point in name dropping top shelf booze when I'm gonna
use it to spike a blend of Fresca and orange soda.

It didn't really look all the way thawed.

Good observation, it was still about half frozen.

This time Fresca and orange soda... I've been known to use black
cherry soda with a wedge of lime.

Wish I could do that. But, the Italian woman across the street made a face
when I offered tomatoes. Said she hates them. Offered basil, and she asked
what you're supposed to use it for. House to the right: While devouring some
snow peas back in June, her son asked "Are these vegetables?" His parents
seem to eat nothing but meat and bread, and have politely refused offers of
lettuce & various other things. The kids still come over, though, to
self-medicate. :)
