That's OK if'n you want shredded meat.


Some of us like to chew our dead cow, rather than gum it ;-P

Love the fresh herbs in there.

A 'neighbour' down the road (about 1k away) has a rosemary hedge. The
sucker is about 8' tall and going in to cut some of it off is like going
into a nice scented jungle :-)

I'm going to be on the lookout for Wagyu cheeks tomorrow/today.

I have a hankering...........

peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the
dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an
ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."
