Anniversary Lobsters
Celebrated 31 wonder-filled years (as my good friend would say) with two live 3-pound Canadian lobsters. Mike steamed them and they were delicious.
Miked cooked a pound of white beans the other day. Included pickle meat and green onion sausage. I had mine with pickled
onions and Crystal Hot Sauce.
As a component of the austerity plan, we've been getting boneless turkey breasts and making a dinner out of them
and slicing the remains for sandwiches (healthier, I think, and cheaper than packaged cold-cuts). We end up with enough slices
for quite a few sandwiches. Also, after cooking some of slices with the enclosed gravy, we've been enjoying hot, juicy
po-boys.
Here's a photo of our down-home meal the other night. Baked sweet potatoes and a Southern
Living recipe for Crowder Pea Succotash (Mike used canned green peas).
Have
your cow and drink milk, too Dexter cattle, one of the smallest cattle breeds (as small as 3 feet tall at the
shoulders) produce 1 to 2 gallons of milk per day. They are said to be gentle, hardy and easy to handle, require little
pasture or feed, and "cut the grass" for their owners. If placed on a half-acre tract of grassy land they
need not be fed. They are are becoming popular as pets during this time of rising food prices, objections to factory
farming, and a wider interest in natural unadulterated food.
