Though, with women, the difference between the two can be quite amusing. A pleasure, as I have come to see things. Actually, I have always enjoyed that nature of the feminine. Much, often, to their frustration. Which... all works out in the end. Still, the notion of a gastronomical oddity, one I have been meaning to entertain, was called out. Marrow, bone marrow more fully. As to bone marrow dumplings, I will have to look deeper into the notion. But, for my part, simple bone marrow has been on my mind for some time. Since I will be calling up a quarter beef shortly, I may well see about bones just for that. Here is a link to how to do a simple production for a simple tasting, as a spread. There is much more one can do with this, but it would be a start. I like it this way, so that I can taste it in it's more pure form. Then I can consider how else to serve it, what spices and herbs seem best to try with it, perhaps even a few pairings that are contradictory. Oddly, I like to try things with other things that don't seem to match. Sometimes that turns out amazing. Not always, not usually, but worth the risk.
I love food and dancing with women in the various ways that is possible. If done with a light heart, a simple humility, and good intent, neither of those types of interactions can go too terribly wrong. Well, I suppose they can, just... generally they won't. Actually, if I do find a wife, I will most certainly find some way to literally dance with her. Formal, square, free-form, perhaps several different types. Music, dance, and love make for a fine pairing. Among other things. *cough* And yet, I will dance with other women until I dance no more, if in a different way... such as the way of late in various forms.
It's a good day. I am feeling a bit better. I am not quite up to snuff, but I am a good distance along the road to recovery. A few more days and I will be fit as an electric guitar. Frankensteins aren't fiddles! I think I will finish those tasks today, though I may take a nap first. Not great need, but I have noticed that I tire easily. While I can push past it, I suspect taking a nap will allow a surer opportunity to do the little bit of work this afternoon. I'm almost back to it. And yet, I want to give that some time to settle. That was a pretty serious fall. Besides, I have the rest of my life to push, and will again do so when ready. Later. *zzz*
You're snoozing already?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, try this link...

Veal and beef marrow are what I would use.
Btw.. You do know that you encourage backsass. It says so above your comment box.
Yes, I actually went to hell. Not as bad as it might seem, or a punishment, I... I'll do a post shortly.
ReplyDeleteOkay, now, I already cook some of these meats. My problem is FINDING some of them. They won't even sell hog brain! And don't seem to want to sell me any of the other internals. This time I think I will go in and ask to speak with the butcher. I think the woman at the front desk is offended by offal for some reason.
As to your suggestion, I'll think about it. Actually, I finished thinking about it and ordered. I probably have some of it in other books, but a dedicated book seems good. I already know I like these foods, the ones I have tried.
No mention of the Individual Sale, assume that means your other plans have precedence over TTITD?
ReplyDeleteIt appears that many if not most of the circus folk planning to attend, did indeed score tickets today, with one couple having two extra to share with others who did not.
I'm going to be really torn, because they don't seem to want to join me in AEZ (they want their damn AC), and I want to joint them. I'm jeopardizing my DGS privileges for future years if I don't camp at AEZ, but I'm also wondering if I'm really going back every year anyway.
Maybe I just join the Individual Sale stampede and let that shake out whether I go or not.
Desert Cat,
ReplyDeleteHmm? What? Is the sale over? I didn't know it had started! Crap. I meant to buy, try for two, in any case. I think I already have my SMan tickets. I just woke, and from... something troubling... brain isn't working well. Slow down and make sense, lad.
Confused.
I've seem marrow bones for sale in grocery stores.
ReplyDeleteMe too, but very rarely. My best chance is at an actual butcher shop. As I suggested, when I order the beef I will put in a request for other parts. But not to the lady that generally takes orders. She has been quite... negative... regarding these things. And I haven't been in shape to think of how to go around her until now.
ReplyDeleteYum!
The individual sale concluded today, yes. I believe I mentioned the need to review your burner profile and get ready a week or two back. Between my blog, email, and Facebook, I can't be sure who I reminded when though...
ReplyDeleteThere is still STEP and the OMG sale.
And also, I will have to see how the tickets shook out overall for the circus. There is possibility that my second ticket will not be essential in getting the core group there. We can talk if STEP and OMG fail you--I should know for sure by then.
Oh also re Saguaro Man, Daisycat is rueing the concert tickets. She is currently trying to unload them on a coworker so that we can show up to Saguaro Man on Wednesday instead of Friday as I had previously mentioned.
ReplyDeleteI will keep you posted.
Sounds good. Yeah, I knew it was coming up, but thought there would be a day or two. I've been checking it occasionally, knew the date, but between my recent decline sort of put all things on back burners and that I thought there would be a day or two to try... Damn but that was a drop, with tail spin. Amazed I'm not in a coma.
ReplyDeleteOh, yeah, about the her? Hehehehe You either love them or hate them, but they are what they are. All I'm saying the more. I lie. But know, I will be laughing all night, and probably through parts of tomorrow. I would have laid good money, when you told me about the agreement, just how it would work out. No, no real crunch on you about it. I've lived through that. Love me some women-think, I do, is all.
Not really sure about her change of heart. She always thinks she needs to extract concessions from me. Sometimes I go along sometimes not. This time, I think she realizes she shot herself in the foot, because she really does want to be there, and not just for the last two days.
ReplyDeleteNo, that is exactly what I mean. My last was exactly like that in this sense. As with you, it depended on if I wanted to concede or not, early on. It depended on money, time, energy, and some other things, initially. I, finally, let her understand that any financial loss from her nitwittery would be on her head and kept my word. Well, after a few times of blithering foolishness, before realizing this was a game of hers. No more, I said, and so it was. And I cared not in the least from then on. Funny thing, when she was hit for losses due to stubbornness, she changed mighty quickly. I don't know if your her will.
ReplyDeleteSome women count pennies, if spend by the hundreds. Go figure. Still, they do have a love of money. Their money. To some women, your money means nothing, though is fine to stack on a pile and burn. That does make them happy despite it meaning something against them in the end. Bleh. Still, love her or hater her, any she, beauty, warts, toils, and troubles is who she is. Lover her or hate her indeed. Though you can learn to mitigate. I love me some mitigation!
While I have little appreciation for money, either. Sometimes I would take her bet, double down, and burn a small fortune, back when I was still expecting to die at any moment. Or I would go the other way. Until, actually through her and my excesses, I chose a different path. Actually, in this way, she helped me find my path... if that wasn't her intent. Boy could she hate at times. Love me some feminine hate, too. Woot!
