ham hock and cracked pepper. Then there are the glories of the "hunt"
breakfasts- except few- if any- markets offer liver or any organ
meats. One of my favorites was steak and kidney pie but lamb kidneys
have disappeared. Or lamb shanks. Still make chopped liver- deli
style- but the livers are now frozen. Well, that was an era before
packaged food, supermarkets, and flight from the farm/ kitchen plus
other changes/influences. Not sure the slaughter houses/stock yards of
Chicago were any cleaner than the current practices. I think there's a
restaurant in London that uses the complete animal in its dishes- head
to tail. I love food- eating it- cooking it- reading about it yet
usually weighed 110 I'd rather write a cook book than a memoir. :-)
Yesterday was strawberry shortcake fever- the shortcake was a beauty
and I use vanilla custard yogurt instead of whipped cream for the
topping- health conscience at work here. Plus it's turned into sort of
a game- this cooking for one- as to freezing tricks, etc. as I hate to
waste food- from my days of being broke. Good training, perhaps?
