    Groan! Microgreens, but they're not green.
    Microgreens sometimes aren't green, and
    sometimes it's even intentional.
    And they're usually a macro cost for a micro amount.

    Little things cost more by weight, and trendy
    little things are even more so.

    It's surprising how the fruiting bodies
    can appear in profusion after a rain.
    Probably not until it warms up again next spring tho.

    At any thaw they might pop up.

    Nope, don't want a face full of whatever's in the air above.
    That's not precisely sky, though.
    No, not technically...............
    Reminds me of the kids' schtick from long ago
    [looking up] It's a bird ... it's a plane ...
    [makes wiping face motion] It's a bird.
    (G) I remember that. Don't know if it's from my childhood or when our
    girls were small tho.

    If we looked up the original slogan we could
    make a more educated guess.

    Losartan is cheaper by a factor of 3 to 5 and
    hasn't been given that big black eye.
    And easily available for you.

    The fact that it costs me 8 1/2c a day makes it
    less likely that the high-priced spread will get
    my business back even when it's certified safe.

    Depends on the shade/hue of each for me. I won't wear certain
    hues > ML> of > either one, but others, I will.
    You must be more of a "spring" than I am.
    No, not a "spring", an "autumn". Steve is a "winter'.

    I thought springs wore greens. Autumns were
    yellow and brown and such. I forget what I am.

    I did have a favorite yellow Madras shirt once,
    but it had black and red and white in it as well.
    Wore it pure out?
    Outgrew it, though I'd fit into it now.
    Been there, done that.

    Now with my weight fluctuating because of
    fluid management, I have to keep more sizes
    of clothes around. The day after Thanksgiving,
    my 34 pants were falling off.

    The leg we got was boneless, tied. It was falling apart tender
    enough > that we didn't try to crisp it up, just enjoyed it as is.
    The shoulder we got at Cucina was fall-apart tender
    and had its charm, but generally I go with undercooked
    rather than overcooked.
    Ours was just done nicely. Chops, we'll grill to a rare for Steve, not
    quite medium for me. He will just put his on the grill a minute or two
    after he puts mine on. (G)

    Leg does well rare as well.

    some but decrease it for others. A pointless gift.
    Probably increase it more than decrease for most people.
    Truth.
    That's my thoughts; somebody else might want to know what's going on
    in > the future and not be concerned.
    Luckily, it's all hypothetical.
    It'll get here..........tomorrow. (G)

    I hope it'll not get here at all.

    I've been told that mine are ripening nicely.
    Going to do something about it or not?
    Eventually, when I can't cope any more
    without the surgery.
    Probably the same here. When I'm having trouble distinguishing colors,
    it's probably past time to get the job done.

    pork and marinade
    Combine garlic, sugar, vegetable oil, sesame oil,
    oyster sauce, cilantro, vinegar, soy sauce, fish
    sauce, garlic powder, coriander, salt, black pepper,
    and white pepper in a large resealable plastic bag.
    Add pork, seal bag, and turn pork to coat. Chill at
    least 4 hr. Pork can be marinated up to 8 hr ahead.
    Keep chilled.

    pickled cabbage
    Place cabbage in a large resealable plastic bag.
    Heat vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan
    over medium heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved.
    Let cool, then pour into bag. Seal bag, pressing out
    as much air as possible, and chill at least 4 hr.
    Cabbage can be pickled 1 week ahead. Keep chilled.

    tiger cry sauce and assembly
    Cook bird chile in a dry small skillet over medium-
    low heat, turning often, until darkened in color,
    1 min. Let cool, then finely grind in spice mill.

    Whisk fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, and tamarind
    paste in a small bowl until sugar and tamarind are
    dissolved. Stir in ground bird chile, Thai chiles,
    garlic, and cilantro; set sauce aside.

    Prepare grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil
    grill grates. Remove pork from marinade, scraping
    off excess, and grill, turning occasionally, until
    fatty bits are lightly charred and pork is cooked
    through, about 4 min per side. Transfer to a cutting
    board and let rest 5 min. Cut pork off the bone and
    then into bite-size pieces; discard bones. Toss pork,
    onion, tomatoes, and half of tiger cry sauce in a
    medium bowl to combine. Serve pork, topped with
    cilantro, mint, and rice powder (if using) with
    rice, drained cabbage, and remaining tiger cry
    sauce alongside.

    Hi Michael,

    Groan! Microgreens, but they're not green.
    Microgreens sometimes aren't green, and
    sometimes it's even intentional.
    And they're usually a macro cost for a micro amount.

    Little things cost more by weight, and trendy
    little things are even more so.

    Quite so. I've seen, but not bought any, at the farmer's market.


    It's surprising how the fruiting bodies
    can appear in profusion after a rain.
    Probably not until it warms up again next spring tho.

    At any thaw they might pop up.

    I don't think we're going to have that much more warm (or relatively
    warm) weather until spring. Today is to have a high of about 60 but go
    back to the 40s for a spell tomorrow.


    Nope, don't want a face full of whatever's in the air above.
    That's not precisely sky, though.
    No, not technically...............
    Reminds me of the kids' schtick from long ago
    [looking up] It's a bird ... it's a plane ...
    [makes wiping face motion] It's a bird.
    (G) I remember that. Don't know if it's from my childhood or when
    our > girls were small tho.

    If we looked up the original slogan we could
    make a more educated guess.

    Is it worth the time/effort?

    Losartan is cheaper by a factor of 3 to 5 and
    hasn't been given that big black eye.
    And easily available for you.

    The fact that it costs me 8 1/2c a day makes it
    less likely that the high-priced spread will get
    my business back even when it's certified safe.

    Sounds like a smart idea.


    Depends on the shade/hue of each for me. I won't wear
    certain > ML> hues > ML> of > either one, but others, I will.
    You must be more of a "spring" than I am.
    No, not a "spring", an "autumn". Steve is a "winter'.

    I thought springs wore greens. Autumns were
    yellow and brown and such. I forget what I am.

    You can wear almost any color, just depends on the tone, shade and
    intensity. Springs are about a medium warm color range. Autumns are also
    warm, but more intense. Winters and summers are cool colors, with blue undertones, spring and autumn have more yellow undertones. I can't wear
    pink, purple, black or white but can wear a burgundy, persimmon, winter
    (off) white, browns, or navy. I will wear a golden, but not pale yellow,
    teal or turquoise instead of a true blue and a jade instead of a true
    green. And, yes, autumns are more earthy toned than any of the others.


    I did have a favorite yellow Madras shirt once,
    but it had black and red and white in it as well.
    Wore it pure out?
    Outgrew it, though I'd fit into it now.
    Been there, done that.

    fluid management, I have to keep more sizes
    of clothes around. The day after Thanksgiving,
    my 34 pants were falling off.

    Such "fun". (G) Sounds like you need both a belt and suspenders.

    The leg we got was boneless, tied. It was falling apart
    tender > ML> enough > that we didn't try to crisp it up, just enjoyed
    it as is. > ML> The shoulder we got at Cucina was fall-apart tender

    Leg does well rare as well.

    Maybe next time we'll try it rare but Steve wanted it braised, like we
    do the shanks.

    going on > ML> in > the future and not be concerned.
    Luckily, it's all hypothetical.
    It'll get here..........tomorrow. (G)

    I hope it'll not get here at all.

    It will, one day at a time.

    Let's leave the cilantro out of this and I'll consider it.

    It's a bird... it's a plane.... It's... Superman.... No.... it's a
