    Was that a picture of "Din Din" for 10/10/2007? Or an old picture? The
    steak packaging that is displayed has a "Sell By" date of Aug. 22.

    Are you kidding, with six cats I was lucky to get some... they can eat
    faster than I can slice... I think they ate more than half.

    My cauliflower and cabbage were small this year but still very good.

    But my first attempt at growing celery surprised me, what a difference
    from store bought, a rich aroma, remarkable flavor, and it's the
    crunchiest! And I have five more still in the ground. Now I need to
    perfect my celery growing, I need to plant them much closer together,
    I found out that they grow more compact if they touch and they will
    also self blanch... the one necessity however is a long growing season
    (5 months) and plenty of water. I think anyone can grow celery, needs
    very little space, a square foot will easily grow four bunches. So
    now we know what to plant in that wet spot.

    You'd think after that nice dinner I shouldn't be hungry, but I'm
    starving. Why, because I get my flu shot tomorrow and at the same
    time I'll get my yearly routine fasting blood test, no eating/drinking
    from 9PM.

    Geez, my cat just stares until I share a teensy taste of my pot roast.
    Or turkey.

    I guess that's what I read, that celery has a long growing season.
    Interesting about growing them close together.

    Heh. The minute I can't eat, I get hungry, too. Good luck with your
    medical stuff.

    An old steak. I usually don't freeze tender steak but this was one of
    those I mentioned a while ago that were too good a price to forego.

    A steak that thin we call "sandwich steak".

    And after all that [censored] you do about "freezing steak ruins it
    - only dumb wops freeze steak!", there you are: Cooking a thawed,
    frozen steak.

    Either that or you've been aging it in your fridge for almost 2
    months.

    Doh!

    Great looking garden stuff! That's the kind of stuff I can't grow because
    my shady yard makes for a really short season. Are you going to be able to
    eat everything before it over-matures in the garden or do you have a method
    to avoid that?

    I trade some with neighbors but still I give away more than I use.

    One of mine does, and one doesn't. And I had a cat for 20 years
    who never touched it.

    $5.99/# might be about the price that I would buy a few extra of such
    a good looking porterhouses for the freezer.

    Great looking produce! Thanks for the tip on celery spacing - I'll have to
    try some next season.

    Orange Kool-Aid or Hi-C mixed with your Crystal Palace??

    Decent porterhouse here abouts is typically $9-$10lb, so I thought
    these a bargain.

    I can't see the point in name dropping top shelf booze when I'm gonna
    use it to spike a blend of Fresca and orange soda.

    I should think so. You don't mix good things with Crystal Palace.

    Good observation, it was still about half frozen.

    This time Fresca and orange soda... I've been known to use black
    cherry soda with a wedge of lime.

    Wish I could do that. But, the Italian woman across the street made a face
    when I offered tomatoes. Said she hates them. Offered basil, and she asked
    what you're supposed to use it for. House to the right: While devouring some
    snow peas back in June, her son asked "Are these vegetables?" His parents
    seem to eat nothing but meat and bread, and have politely refused offers of
    lettuce & various other things. The kids still come over, though, to
    self-medicate. :-)
