I left out the best part of the story: Mom immediately knew what the pieces were and who put them there. (I had a sibling who didn't like liver either.)

i used to take my pieces of liver and throw them behind the refrigerator...imagine my mom's surprise when she moved the fridge to clean!

Interesting that I just made some pre-marinated skewers from a trip tip and mine were tough also.

For me as a kid it was either hominy or liver. Hated both. Mom gave up and I didn't have to eat them. I still hate them but I love most everything else.

I won't buy their coffee because I refuse to knowingly being ripped off.

Can you expand on that, please?

Gosh, you really have your hands full. Hats off to you.

My friend had a subscription short time, however, she soon cancelled because she didn't enjoy most of the meals.

I bough a couple cans of the Hubbs a while back and enjoyed them very much even though I found them quite addictive. Last week I saw that Kirkland has the VA peanuts as well so I decided to give them a try. Imagine my surprise when I found them to be exactly the same! My guess is that Hubbs supplies them. So, unless your taste is significantly different than mine, save yourself a few bucks and buy the from Costco or Amazon.

I just saw this one. In case you're still lookiing.

I totally agree about the little wooden tools. It just doesn't feel right.

Sous Vide anything. Unless, of course, it was served to me in a restaurant.

My house in Portland (Or) had wild blackberries growing through my fence from the neighbor's yard. They tasted amazing and, I think, the most delicious fruit I've ever enjoyed. But, the thorns! I had to be careful or they're rip my clothing if I wasn't careful. I loved the stand along the fence and pick them and fee them to myself and to my dogs, who loved them too.

Admittedly, I don't like frying bacon. Even with a good hood, memory lingers on. So I've been buying microwave-ready bacon. It tastes good and there's virtually no mess. But today I read in CI that I can make regular bacon cooked in the m/v. Who knew? I've not tried it yet but this is what they say. Next time I make bacon I'll try it.

I have to confess to most of your s as well. The exceptions would be fennel (try it in soups, it's amazing), kale (meh), and arugula, which I like occasionally in salads.

Regional preferences are funny that way.

Yikes.

No, and our growing seasons are already abnormally short.

A wet and cool Spring here has the home gardeners kvetching about the lack of sun and heat here as well. Too bad, everyone looks forward to the summer veg.

I sometimes add tuna to my macaroni salad, it makes a nice change.

For years I've tried to grow my own herbs with no luck at all. This year I'm growing them indoors in this. The results have been fantastic. I have dill, basil, Italian parsley and thyme. I'm thinking to add another planter so that I can add chives, Thai basil, cilantro and rosemary. Finally I have some really lovely plants. My photos can't do them justice.

Bought some Peri Peri sauce recently and used it in place of the Rooster that I had on hand. Very good. Now, if only I could remember which one I bought.

Me too. I would miss you, I look forward to your posts every day.

I'm a sometime breakfast eater. And never the first thing in the mornng. I like a large freshly brewed coffee enjoyed for at least an hour (in a thermal mug). Then maybe I'll think about food.

Enabler alert! No TJ's in these parts So I ordered from Amazon. $3 extra for the (free) shipping.
