Well I was brought up a vegetarian, I didn't have my first taste of meat until I was 18, it was bacon, and suddenly understood the term 'bad, but oh so good'! Man the disasters I cooked when I first got married to a man who ate nothing but meat, nearly got me divorce in my first year, which could have been a good thing, but let's not go down that road. Anyway I hated steak, he like it really well done, I thought it was like chewing the sole of a shoe, but many years later, a lady in her 80's cooked me a steak, and it was like OMG, what sort of meat is this? She cooked it medium rare, not mooing, not blue, and suddenly I loved steak! As for the Biryani, sounds like my kind of dish, can you cook it in the slow cooker, another thing I'm a big fan of. Ter'e we have a show over here called my kitchen rules, it is a competition between people that not just love to cook, but cook things different, I could so see you on this show!
Good morning. It is here! After our recent discussion I had kidneys on toast for breakfast - and they were a tiny bit rare! Gorgeous. You shouldn't knock something you haven't tried!I was vegetarian for around 15 years but decided that, as free range and high welfare meat was more readily available, I'd have it. It's more expensive to produce and I wanted to support the farmers who were doing it.
As to eating offal - it actually really is delicious but to me it's a matter of respect. An animal has been killed so it's disrespectful to waste parts of it. I really empathise with the native American ideas of thanking the spirit of an animal when you eat it.
Ooops - I waffle a bit, don't I? ;)

*strange folk*
I don't imagine our first meat-eater ancestors cooked their food.
Mod
It's each to their own, but it's not for me. Don't like the way chefs like their meat, just too pink.
I like pink, but not raw.Kath, in order to respect the animal I have decided to send you all my unwanted offal :~)
Oh David.........I am totally, but totally, LMAO!!!!!!
Accepted with gratitude - as long as it's fresh! ;)
today I will be making lamb hotpot for dinner; texas hash to be tubbed for lunches and something with chicken to be tubbed for lunches - need to have a quick swizz through my cookery books before I go shopping see what I need - although I may just do a chicken and tomato pasta I like my steak medium rare will eat some offal but nothing awful ;)
Mod
*they'll be eating straight from the animal next*
Wipe its bum and knock off its horns? ;)
Mod
Blue is lots of blood.
Mod
Just given a recipe for Texas Hash !!

Oh, God. This thread is nauseating...*running to nearest bathroom*
Wa Wa!!!!!!I wish I had taken a photo of our beautiful steak last night. Just because it is "blue" doesn't mean there is blood.
The desire is to sear that baby as fast as you can. seal in those juices.
That way no one is gagging.......but they are slicing it very thin and salivating as they eat it.
OK!!!!!! Have two families coming to see our house today. It is almost so clean, you could eat off my toilet!!!!!!! I have a couple things to do, last minute, as I do live with dogs and a parrot!!!
No one is saying a word about price. They recognize all the quality love we have put into it.........but everyone is wanting to pay the cheap of the cheapest!!!!! I want to say.......people, you get what you pay for!
One family threw a fit because we did not have three full bathrooms. I wanted to say........well, I will edit..........I wanted to say, Mam, we do have three toilets,!!!!! This was for a family of three, mind you.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE..........can we hear a little love and positivity for my house selling today??????? I want to go see my babies!!!!! My body needs to be in Kansas City!!!!! I have people to see and places to go!!!!!
Maybe I should open a Margarita Bar here..........and greet them at my red front door with a frozen drink??????
THINK SELL today, would you?????? Pls?????
Did I mention how tired of am of cleaning house?????I need to be hookin!!!!!!

Freda, I loved your blog about reading To Kill a Mockingbird. It was very entertaining! I'm glad you guys are having fun with it!
Jean wrote: "Freda, I loved your blog about reading To Kill a Mockingbird. It was very entertaining! I'm glad you guys are having fun with it!"Thank you Jean, I'm finally getting the hang of the blog. It is still a work in progress but having fun with it. LOVE LOVE LOVE how you and Chris have changed your photos and given us a peek at how beautiful you both are. :o)
It is sad that Target couldn't make a go of it in Canada... and my son will be looking for part-time work again (finish your under graduate degree!). But look at this cute kitchen island. What a steal. I will prep meat on it, which I will then cook to medium rare :)
Monkey see, monkey do! Lots of picture changing - must be a spring thing! My original picture was from 2008, I think...Yeah, L.E., very unfortunate about Target. They just laid off a ton of folks at their corporate headquarters in Minneapolis too. I know that the online businesses are taking away from the "real life" retailers, but I'm someone who likes to actually see what I'm buying! The virtual sellers do have their place, but I also like to hop in the car and go shopping.

The city is trying to support employees who lost their jobs, but Kellogg's closed in January, after 90 years. >500 jobs lost there and >700 when Heinz closed last year. It's tough out there.

wonder if that's the same as mine - I ended up not making it made Chinese chicken noodles and tomato pasta instead
Mod
But it was Minced Beef, tomatoes, Chill powder, mild,
black pepper, and white rice, then in a casserole dish for 35-40 minutes.
Will bring recipe upstairs with me next time
ah no mine is different mine uses lean mince; 2 tins tomoatoes; chillies; smoked paprika; onions; brown rice and spinach among other things - just cant remember full thing at mo lol
All your talk of food is making me hungry! I just got home from serving the Prison Ministry and I have not had anything to eat since breakfast this morning and I am so hungry!!! Who wants to cook me something? I will take one of those delicious steaks y'all are talking about, just make mine medium. Thank you!
on another note think I have finally freed my trapped nerve in my leg - apparently the cure is lots of alcohol lots of jumping up and down at rugby and lots of walking :D nice to have a pain free day (well apart from the remains of the work out pain but that's a good pain lol)
Ok, my meat is well done. At restaurants, I've been told I have ruined the steak but since I live in SD and can see my meal out in the fields grazing, I cook it.Sharon, National goof off day. Relax woman!!!!
Sorry to hear about Target. I like their store and that computer hack is killing them.
Nothing mooing near our house tonight. It's been snowing for six hours (with maybe 2 inches to show for it), so it's time for comfort food. My chicken pot pie is ready to go into the oven!
LOL Pat I haven't done anything today just recovering from the past few days :)
Yum Jean. I'll be over for that. Cold here but no snow. We might be heading for a dry spring/summer. Now I sound like the farmers.

I think giving out margaritas is an interesting concept :)
We actually need the moisture. I suppose Boston would've been happy to give us some of their snow...Careful what you wish for, right?

The first DI Lorraine Fisher book.
Te're, I'll take my maragarita on the rocks, por favor.
