Sometimes I'm just too busy to eat, or am simply not hungry. It's good for weight control. -- -- Peace! Om "My mother never saw the irony in calling me a Son of a Bitch." -- Jack Nicholson |

Bill German good stuff Oh yes indeed....you have some *great* food heritage...we love german eats. When we lived in KC, we found one authentic german eatery, hole in the wall that opened into Munich, authentic german proprietors, best schnitzel ala holstein and fried cabbage I ever had......second best food in town......gates bbq was first. ;-) My heritage, scots, gives us haggis.......need I say more. But, we also contribute Glenlivet....... Charlie, who has a pig butt on the smoker as we speak...pulled pork sammies for the youngsters tomorrow. Sounds tasty. I did a big batch of braised chicken drumsticks today, (they were on sale for $.99 per lb. for an 8 lb. bag) and a hyooge pot of black rice cooked in pork and veggie stock. -- -- Peace!

If nuthin' else, we on wrecked gardens sure do eat well! Makes it hard to stretch oftimes! ;-) Charlie g I'm wondering if I ought to try preparing a Haggis recipe using Tripe. Sheep stomach is not available at the grocery stores here. ;-) -- -- Peace! Om "My mother never saw the irony in calling me a Son of a Bitch." -- Jack Nicholson |

I'll draw the line at maggots. g I do enjoy Sashimi and raw beef but will not eat raw pork or chicken. The texture leaves much to be desired for one thing. My son turned me onto raw, thinly sliced beef. It is really good. A couple years ago I stupidly ate a few raw shrimp, without even thinking about the consequences. Vibrio, for one! Nothing ended up happening, but it was one the best tasting meats I have eaten. It is good, but I prefer it minimally cooked. When I cook shrimp, I do it in a very hot pan with butter and olive oil with garlic, dill weed and lemon pepper (salt free). Toss it around in the pan until it just turns pink. I like raw octopus and tuna, but not squid. Squid gotta be braised or deep fried. ;-d You are right, rare beef is the best!! Sear that baby over really, really hot and crust the outside.......wow. Philly style. When Dad died, I inherited his Big Green Egg. I get that baby up to about 750F and give thick steaks about two mins on each side then slam the vents shut for another couple. Orgasmic. lol I know what you mean! Did you see my jpeg? I can eat most veggies raw or cooked. OB gardening, I really need to consider putting in more chard. I love the stuff!

I love the greens only. ;-d I've noted a trend at the stores now where they've quit chopping off the greens. For awhile there, you could not get beets with the leaves. Chard is wunnerful stuff and you get a *lot* from the plants. We freeze like spinach, the extra. It also grows forever! You probably don't like pickled beets either. Shame....after you eat 'em you can throw in hardboiled eggs and in a couple weeks.......mmmmmmmm. I've made pickled eggs using beet juice from the cans and pickle juice from the jars I buy at the grocery store. :-) That's a way to cheat making your own cucumber or okra pickles. Get the brand of pickles you like from the store, (I like Claussens), eat the pickles and save the commercial juice for pickling! I keep it in the 'frige. Hmmm.......just a suggestion....we started growing Chioggia beets, look like a red and white bullseye. The tops are excellant and the root is different from red beets. Cooks nearly white and is rather sweet and lacks that typical beet earthyness, IMO. I've had them shaved in salads and they are good raw....again, IMO. ;-) Hm. I'll have to look for that! I like to steam radishes in stews and cooked veggie mixes, greens and all. I've not seen carrot greens in ages. I like to feed fresh greens to Freya, my Goffin's Cockatoo. -- I've been reading recently about eating all sorts of greens, and it seems that most overthing we eat main crop, the leaves are edible too. Yes they are! See above for radish greens. :-) Those are tossed by most people. I never even though about eating the rest of the plant, of say broccoli and carrots and radishes. Michael Pollan started me thinking down this path. Oh gods. Both Broccoli and Cauliflower greens are GOOD! I always add them to the steaming mix. ;-d But, I do love greens. Never tried eating carrot tops, just fed them to the bird. I imagine, if nothing else, they'd be good for stock. They have a rather intense flavor. I always use celery leaves as well, and I freeze the tough asparagus stems to use in stock. Good eats, and too many words ;-) Charlie Indeed! :-) I finally started saving a LOT more trimmings in the freezer for stock. I've been amazed at the difference that "garbage" has made in the intensity of my stock flavor. I use stock mostly for making rice. I never cook rice in just water. I've got some beef rib bones from a local BBQ place that I go to occasionally. I'll be using that smoky beef stock to make lentils. -- -- Peace!
