your chopping...

Ah, so not much goodness left, but what there was was good.

Right... added just a little extra to the onions I fixed... :)

The difference must have been pretty subtle.

It was more of a garnish than anything else... ;) And the leeks, of
course, taste different from garlic, which I'd otherwise have used... :)

couple of lamb hearts... I think I paid $2 for the two of them....

They were pretty small, of course.

They were, each was an individual serving... and just a bit on the small side as well... :)

I was thinking 200 g, so almost two USDA-approved
servings or one not-so-generous me-size one.

I don't remember the exact size now... but I'm sure each was smaller
than my fist... I sliced them in half top to bottom, to make pan-frying easier... :)

Both are for a specialist clientele. For a quick saute of
sliced kidneys, fresh are of course better, but by the
time they got done up in the stew, the texture of frozen
wouldn't have mattered much.

Apparently the person that snagged all her lamb kidneys didn't mind that they were frozen, either... :)

If meaning them for a stew, there's no blame, if
for a saute, there's no accounting.

Not a clue... :)

It wasn't a bad surprise, just a surprise... it was kinda cool... :)

I don't make it that way myself.

Yes, I remember the somewhat different stuff you made up at the Pond the second Pond picnic...

Huh, I forget that altogether.

I think it was with carrots...

It wasn't that much more inefficient doing it the way
we did, and I have more time on my hands than I used to.

Not quite as tight a schedule any more....

A very different kind of tight. I have a substantial
number of demands on my time, as some of my nearest
and dearest are aging off fairly rapidly.

And on different coasts, as well...

94.5 when I was in high school, and I got to know it
pretty well. Heard it only once after in its entirety;
Skrowaczewski and Minneapolis I think.

WXXI does play it every so often still... I recently heard a different homage to Mozart, I forget which composer though...

There's the thoroughly weird Schnittke Moz-Art,
which is the most recent one I've encountered.

I think I may have heard that one, on some syndicated concert program on WXXI.... but I was talking about a different one...

I take it the thermometer hasn't been replaced, then... :)

Nope, though the probe part, which got busted, can be had on
Amazon.

Is Lilli likely to be thinking of replacing that...? If she's leaving
it to you, I'd guess there'd be little of no impetus to follow through
on that... :)

But she loves shopping on Amazon.

So maybe you'll come back to a rejuvenated thermometer... :)
