Alex can be a little stuffy at times... but I think my son has helped
him get over some of it... ;)
Some people are somewhat educable sometimes.
That's proven to be the case here... :)
And most of us can serve a salubrious role as educator
at one time or another.
I've been known to cut a piece of meat off a chunk held
between my teeth.
Better you than I... I guess.... ;) I can almost see that, I
suppose... ;)
The good thing is the closer the knife to my eyes, the
more effectively it can be wielded.
Considering our styles of cooking are so antithetical, it's a
bit of
a surprise that in years past we managed to do pretty well in the same kitchen. This year he didn't let any of us help at all,
though.
Intent on just doing it himself, eh...?
Very much so, and I didn't know why.
Maybe it's just that he feels like it might not be possible to do it all himself for all that much longer....? And wanted to do it while he
still could...?
Possible. It's not certain what I could have contributed to
the sous-viding process anyway.
Luckily, Lilli and Bonnie appreciate the contributions of hidden
fat, though both are scanty in their approval of big blobs of it. Rosemary turns a blind eye but notes that if I'm visiting for more than a week, she gains weight. Swisher doesn't seem to care.
Fat doesn't seem to make me gain weight...
My idea is that there's a substantial proportion of the
population that is more like us.
Could be... :)
There are the traditional children's book illustrations of
Jack Sprat and his wife, where Jack is skinny and she is
plump, but if Jack ate a lot of starchy nonsense, that could
easily not have been a reflection of any potential reality.
... Meat Fact #9: fatty sausages are actually healthier then crystal meth
That may be true, but fatty sausages are certainly healthier
than zucchini, at least as far as mental wellness goes.

... But gratuitous acts of senseless nonsense are my forte.
As opposed to John Cage's gratuitous acts of senseless nonsense
