Bordering on the Obscene. What my dog, Boots, the Wonderdog, is eating tonight, is crazy.
I'm tired of the leftovers in the fridge. None of them are more than
three days old, but with just my friend Devon and me to eat them, they
will be old soon--my daughter is away at college so she cannot help--and
then they are garbage. So Boots has sliced chicken breast and shrimp
(Under 15s, so they are huge) with some veggies. Then he has a half a
prime rib that a guest brought on Sunday.
Then he has about a pound of roast beef with potatoes, broccoli and pan
gravy to mix it all together. Hell, cheapest meat on the table is the
air cooled organic chicken breast at about $9 a pound. Dang if that boy
doesn't eat well sometimes.
Me and Devon? We saved what was left of
the corned beef and cabbage for tomorrow, and tonight I'm making thick
cut pork chops stuffed with spinach sauteed with garlic and shallots,
mixed with fresh smoked mozzarella and parmesan, breaded, seared, baked,
and served with good saurkraut (always cook for an hour or two, add
vinegar, good black pepper, pan juices) and small red potatoes: boiled
then seared in the pork chop pan juices. Gravy will be made with those
same juices and include sliced pears and apples just to blow our taste
buds out of the water.
I hope you all are eating well tonight. I
hope everyone in the world gets something good to eat tonight. That I
know there are hundreds of millions who will not eat well, who do not
even have drinking water, makes me want to lash out. I know that if
people would just stop being afraid--afraid that they won't have enough,
afraid that they won't seem important, afraid that no one will share
with them, hell, afraid of everything, then we could/would all share and
there would be enough for everyone. End of world strife in 10 freaking
minutes.
Anybody who is hungry who reads this, I'm sure there is
something good for you to eat if you stop by. Please do not stand on
ceremony.
