    Um, wait... are we out of meat-aphor land, or does Mrs. A actually have a little bun in the oven~?? Will there be little meatballs running around all pitter-pat soon?

    She wants to name him Kenji.

    I want to slice him up and serve him with salami and cheddar.

    A nice tall boy!! Good square shoulders on him. And though I don't know him at all, it seems he has a good bit of crust. Soft, warm and chewy inside I hope.

    Looks more like the after-effect of a big dinner. Or maybe two.

    Not with my body. It would be much less...organized and geographically restricted :)

    I guess I'm saying that I follow more of a hippo pattern than that of a rhinoceros. No links, you're welcome.

    Honey-butter sauced pork loin in the slow cooker with herbed couscous on the side.

    Was good.

    Tonight, for my tea, I shall be having pancakes and bacon, so I can pretend I’m Vincent Vega in Pulp Fiction. Bacon tastes good, pork chops taste good...

    I baked a bone-in half ham tonight. Came out very soft and just slightly sweet throughout. The glaze I made was with brown sugar, dijon mustard, honey, and some other spices. This was served as ham steaks with a slight bit of horse radish sauce, with some sauteed butter and garlic corn. And a side salad with thousand island. I didn't have time for a soup unfortunately.

    Super simple with lots of leftovers for lunch sandwiches. Might even make a ham bone soup, but I need to get some beans.

    I made nice pork shoulder pork chops last night with jasmine rice and corn. Very simple, had a commercial meat spice pack that worked out well.

    Fatty gristly steak that was half off, served with sherry-sautéed garlic mushroom sauce, couscous, and sweet corn.

    Well, I was hoping to have my semi-usual lunch of two pieces of toast layered with avocado and a hard boiled egg each (with a nice sliced pear on the side), but my eggs disintegrated. Never seen that happen before. I boil em for 13 minutes after cold ignition, drain the water, roll em to crack the shells, etc. Except this time, when I rolled them in the pan they nearly exploded. Like, they came apart like they'd been dropped. Wasn't anything left. Never seen that before. Probably boiled 10K eggs in my career. That was a first.

    Needless to say, I made hotdogs. I really like hotdogs. In fact, I eat the same eggs, avocado, and fruit every day so I don't kill myself with hotdogs.

    Well I thought I was eating "vegetable tempeh" which sounds much more appetising than the list of ingredients would suggest...

    Fungal culture? Oh wait I searched this in google and it puts that a Fungal culture is:

    A fungal culture is a procedure used to determine if fungi are present in an area of the body.

    Kinda explains it since vegetable tempeh is healthy

    A culture is a growth of a particular (in this case) fungus. It is ALSO a procedure where you take a sample and provide everything needed to allow any undetected fungi/bacteria etc to grow. Once they have multiplied a few dozen times then they become visible and you have determined they are present.

    Rhizopus oligosporus is a fungus of the family Mucoraceae and is a widely used starter culture for the production of tempeh at home and industrially. As the mold grows it produces fluffy, white mycelia, binding the beans together to create an edible "cake" of partly catabolized soybeans.

    Yum

    Maybe you should be more concerned about the rape seed oil and rape seed fat...

    I don't know if it is so much so cooking, but I'm 'making' a nice, fresh kale salad tonight.

    Kale (naturally), a little spinach, carrots, chopped onion, dried cranberries...and I cheated on the dressing by using my mom's special lemon sort of dressing she let me take from home.

    Super good.
