3546 Days since retiring July 1, 2005!


”ELEPHANT STEW”

1 elephant
2 rabbits, optional
salt and pepper to taste

Cut elephant into bite-sized pieces. This should take about two months. Place pieces in large sauce pan.

Add enough brown gravy to cover. Cook over kerosene fire for about 4 weeks at 465F. This will serve 3,800 people.

If more are expected 2 rabbits may be added; but do this only if necessary, as most do not like to find hare in their stew.
Enjoy!


use road kill only as elephant is a protected animal.


Correct on all points. Click here for the truth. We must overthrow our present incumbents in political office and start refreshed.



Speaking of recipes: tomorrow I will learn how to separate egg yolks from egg whites. One of the people on this floor has a son who is a chef at “PotBellies” and he will visit the floor and the kitchen tomorrow and demo several cooking tips. All I have done when I tried was waste eggs. I mean how many scrambled eggs can one old man eat in a day?

Our senior daughter and two of her kids came Saturday and we visited the zoo. Houston is really working to improve the zoo and the exhibit space. After the zoo I had planned a small fest but we got back so late that the fest was abbreviated. I did get to fix deep fried onion rings and deep fried asparagus. As usual I made too much.


I cut the long thin asparagus spears in half and coated each same as I did the onion rings. The deep fryer used a gallon of Crisco Vegetable oil. I have no non-messy way to get the oil back in its container so I just put the lid on the fryer and put it on my rolling cart for use soon. The more I cook the more food I find I like.

All this cooking has made me understand Carolyn’s dislike of cooking. It ain’t the cooking but rather the cleanup that makes meal prep such a pain in the ass. I am searching every cheap place for a portable dishwasher. I hate cleaning up.

Tonight I cooked the spaghetti to go with the marvelous sauce I made yesterday. I had only intended a small meal but the sauce was so good that I cooked a whole pound box of spaghetti and ate it in one sitting.


Click the picture for a larger view. I was planning on taking this to Lynnview for the kids there but now I am not so sure. It was mighty good.

And now for something totally different. I forget that Rascal is rather and elderly cat and am sometimes stunned and amused when he goes on a rip tearing around the room and batting his toys around. I have finally realized that every time he does that is right after he takes a poop in his litter box. I guess a good dump for an old cat is about the same as for an old man. I certainly feel relieved and not so oppressed after a good one.

Anyone who doubts that Texas has some mighty strange inhabitants only has to remember Robert Durst lived here for a long time. Somebody need to shoot him in the back of the head to rid the universe of that brand of arrogance and evil.

The pecan trees below my window have begun to bud. Spring is well and truly here.

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
