Thoughts on Eating

Made braised pork butt (shoulder, not ass) for dinner tonight with turnips and leeks in a red wine broth. holy fucking shit.

Tomorrow, I’m going to Warren Wilson to hear a lecture by a guy who started a truffle (fungus, not chocolate) farm in Tennessee. It takes a long time, so probably not at this house, but we’ll see.

I got into Bee School! I was on the (142 strong) waiting list, but D’oh’s (too many apostophes!) lady friend gave me her spot since she is going to be out of town.

Also made a resolution to eat breakfast. Made little packets of oatmeal with cinnamon, sugar and nutmeg. They look REALLY small, but the goal is to eat one serving.

Really looking forward to French Onion Soup made with the butt (shoulder, not ass) bone and the red wine broth. mmmmmmm.

Posted in Food and Drink, awesome

yeah for bee school!! I wanted to start some hives in the backyard but the wife vetoed. can I help with your colonys?

also I have a friend from law school who started a truffle (fungus not chocolate) farm near boone. It takes some really specific tree varities and soil condidtions ~ I can put you in touch if you’re really interested in starting one.

I’ve been trying to cook more at home too. Just last night I made a Tony’s pizza. And by “made” I mean “heated the oven.”

Hey Pixie, I got into bee school too. I’ve been wanting to do it for years and I finally got around to signing up.

I was going to cancel after we got Frank’s diagnosis, but he threatened me with great bodily harm if I did, so I’ll be there.

Can I copy off of your paper?

You can, but I’m totally winning one of those free hives, and if you get it instead, I’ll threaten you with great bodily harm as well. And I have some seriously pointy shoes.

Damn, beekeeping is more dangerous than I thought
