Where I write that I have never had to kill anything to make it meat. I don't mean that in a sense of horror that animals are killed and that they then become meat. I understand that meat is not pumped out of a factory machine. Someone somewhere along the line killed a pig to make me bacon or killed a cow to make me hamburgers or steaks. I know that. I don't write people to protest them producing bacon and steaks. I just realize since reading your posts that I am sort of like a baby bird whose parents - usually the mother bird - kill and rip up other animals to feed their child. Like I am less adult. Boy am I dependent on a lot of other people to get my meat - and hey, vegetables as well - to me. <br /><br />DanaD7anahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15497306465109590188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9203945184525811085.post-35610233137598947332011-11-24T19:05:15.280-08:002011-11-24T19:05:15.280-08:00I am glad that you have your memories of times wit...I am glad that you have your memories of times with Ann. I enjoy reading about them.<br /><br />I think the recipe where the chicken or turkey breast was stuffed with stuffing was on America's Test Kitchen or Cook's Country. Christoper aka Chris Kimball is the main host. I love watching that show. Someday I might actually try some of the recipes - big smile at the thought.<br /><br />French toast is tricky because people usually use store bought white bread like Stroehmann or Bond. Ick. I prefer rye bread or pumpernickel or Indian Naan bread or bagels sprinkled with sesame seeds. Yum. On Cook's Country, Chris and his cooking team discovered that challah bread (the spelling is tricky because the "c" isn't pronounced - it is a Jewish bread) challah would be a better bread for making French toast. And I think the bread has to be dried out in the oven for a bit before soaking in the egg mixture. Stale bread retains some water in its composition; toasted bread loses the water so the French toast is not as soggy. More complicated than I suspect either of us would like, lol.<br /><br />I learn a lot of things reading your blog, too. I have always lived in the city so anything about rural living is new to me. I have never had to kill anything to make it meat. The idea of being in the woods, beyond the mapped out city, scares me. But there are a lot of things to fear - out of the city and IN the city - so I try not to focus on those things. <br /><br />You are kind to listen to my doll blathering. My Mom will occasionally listen, but none of my other friends - outside my online collecting buddies - would listen to me. So there is a mutual exchange. I am thankful to have "met" you "online."<br /><br />DanaD7anahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15497306465109590188noreply@blogger.com
