Mental meanderings

I have decided to divide all new loaves of bread in half and freeze them separately. I just had to toss a whole loaf of potato bread out to the birds because the Herd didn't eat it. Then they complain that there isn't any bread on the off-chance that they want a sandwich. Sheesh

Going to town on a quick run to pick up a chicken and dish detergent later. Will get the chicken at Fareway and have the butcher quarter it and remove the backbone. I am perfectly capable of doing that myself. It's just that the c.t. and arthritis are giving me fits today and I wouldn't be able to do it safely. Likely as not I'd drop the knife on my foot or the dog or something.

If the arthritis in the right thumb gets much worse I might have to learn to write with my left hand. That would be an interesting experiment because I have always been strongly right-handed.

Speaking of such things, I spoke with SS about trying things with his left hand. He probably won't do it as he tends to space off when adults speak to him.

About Me

A hobby cook from the Midwest. Experiments, thoughts, new recipes, maybe even a photo or two... You noticed the pouting little girl with the words superimposed over her face? Growing up in the 60s and 70s the refrain of "there are starving children in [insert current poverty-stricken nation] that would love to have such... etc etc etc." I don't know that anyone actually believed all that but the image of a starving foreign child, holding out a bowl in hopes of being gifted with boiled tongue or green tomato pie, was pretty powerful. I do recall the kind of trouble kids would inevitably be in if they dared to say what most of us thought: "Well, then, send this stuff right on over to those poor, starving [insert country] kids." I don't usually post other people's photos, just my own. If you want to borrow or use one of my photos, I would appreciate your asking first. I usually don't mind but do hate having my work attributed to someone else. By the way, I found the photo of that pouting girl on the web with no attribution. If it's yours? We'll deal, ok? Thanks.
