From the September 29 "Metropolitan Diary" in the NY Times: 

 

Quote

Dear Diary:

 

I was at a business lunch at a well-regarded restaurant near Union Square.

 

I asked the waiter if the beef on the menu was pasture raised. He said he would check with the chef.

He returned a few minutes later.

 

“The chef says you can’t pasteurize a whole cow,” he said. “You can only pasteurize its milk.”

Over in the Trader Joe's topic, @rotuts celebrated the arrival of this year's California walnuts. That reminded me of family lore.

 

I grew up on a California citrus ranch, but there were plenty of walnuts in the same area. We took them for granted. We knew deciduous from evergreen. We knew crops. We knew seasons.

 

One year, my cousin from southern Florida visited while on leave from the Navy. He must have been in his early 20's at the time, but it was his first time away from his subtropical home in the winter. We were driving along a country road. It was lined with dormant walnut groves.

 

He groused: "Why doesn't someone cut down all those old dead trees?" 

 

Lordy, I hope I was kind at the time...but I was in my mid-teens.

 

We've stayed on good terms anyway.

Note that this is a great time to pick up last year's walnuts at huge discounts.    I recently picked up a pound of shelled halves for $2.99.    However, I only will buy good brand packaged year old nuts, never those still in the shell which seem to turn (become rancid) easily.
