And come back with a different plan of attack.

Or refrain from doing that.

True, whichever is to your advantage.

Or puts things in a more general balance.

That'll work too.

To me, it's more important than my self-interest.

We went to one of those stores with some friends in PA a few years

ago. > They bought quite a few things; we left the store as empty

past.

So you've witnessed what I was talking about.

Yes, and figured it wasn't worth our time/money in that place.

Think of it as a product museum or zoo. You wouldn't
want to take an aardvark home, but they're fun to
look at.

But people don't want to be such a BOther. Except
that they are.

Agreed--that sort of action hurts others in the long run.

That's why many harmful behaviors should be
minimized - not so much that they hurt the actor,
but rather that they affect others, directly or
indirectly.

So many of them think that they're only hurting themselves. NOT!

I wouldn't worry so much if they actually
thought they were hurting themselves.

Not all German breeds make tough beef. Holsteins for
example are prized meat animals in some parts of the
world.

It's been so long since we were over there, I've no idea what cuts or
cows the commissaries had.

And in decades gone by, with more expensive
meat and cheaper fuel, there was a lot of long
slow cooking - as I recall, in my early days,
grilling was viewed mostly as a special-occasion
thing.

One question is whether gelatin is as worthless as
the dietitians say.

A bit of protein in the gelatin is all I can see.

The word was that the amino acids in gelatin are
less complete than the ones you get in muscle meats
and dairy products, but now it seems its image has
been rehabilitated, anywhat that's what a quick
look at the Internet has to offer. People are
beginning to realize, who cares if your protein
profile is incomplete, just match with something else.

Homemade gelatin
categories: ingredient, supplement
yield: 1 batch

3 to 4 lb animal bones and connective tissue
water to cover the bones
1 Tb salt (opt)

Put the bones in a pot or slow cooker. If you're
using salt, add it now. Pour in enough water to
just cover the contents. Bring to a boil then
reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer on a low heat for
up to 48 hr. The longer it cooks, the more
gelatin you'll extract. Strain the liquid, and
then allow it to cool and solidify. Scrape off
any fat from the surface and discard it.

This is very similar to how bone broth is made,
which is also a fantastic source of gelatin.

The gelatin will keep for a week in the fridge,
or a year in the freezer. Use it stirred into
gravies and sauces, or add it to desserts.

Hi Michael,

And come back with a different plan of attack.

Or refrain from doing that.

True, whichever is to your advantage.

Or puts things in a more general balance.

That'll work too.

Whatever works best for you.

We coould have spent the time better, elsewhere, had we known that the
store was all expired stuff. Didn't find anything that had a best by
date even close to when we were there, usually at least a month or more
past the best by date.

They usually don't want to think about all the damage they're doing to themselves. My chain smoking sister has, for the past I don't know how
many years, has claimed her cough is "because I'm just getting over a
cold". Sorry, that doesn't fly; she wore out that excuse many years ago.

My dad grilled a good amount of chicken during the summer months when I
was growing up; IIRC, it was usually on Saturday nights. He did steaks
from time to time, but not as often, and usually to the point of very
well done.

We've done the complimentary protein route fairly often but I always
made sure that both parts of the protein were in the same meal.
