Friday Friday Friday...
Yahoo...

Lots of fun stuff coming...lots and lots.
But right now I'm enjoying my coffee.

I've never actually cooked them before. The British make a steak and kidney pie...but I've never actually had access to kidneys before. And I'm not sure of their texture and flavor.

The biggest reason I'm somewhat cautious about eating them is that they are another organ meat that is super high in cholesterol. Eggs have good and bad cholesterol in them so they are a wash when eating them. Organ meats just have the bad kind.

Not that they will instantly kill you...but a steady diet of them ain't so good. And I like liver...not that chalky nasty overcooked garbage my mother made me eat. But something that tastes like a type of butter. Paté is made with liver and is really good (when made well) and usually difficult to find unless you make it yourself.

Or liver and onions with bacon...but I space those sorts of meals out because of the extremely rich nature of them. (How many sticks of butter can you eat at a meal?)

Ewwwww organ meat
I cant handle it.

Ewwwww organ meat
I cant handle it.

Just as an FYI...we all might have to get used to such cuts soon.

Pork and Beef prices are the highest I've ever seen them. Seasonal fluctuations are rather normal...but I'm looking forward in the Futures market.

It's not going to be much longer before you need a mortgage for a pot roast.

Prayers for my little boy (3 yr old).. fever of 100.5 he has either a cold or severe allergies. he woke up upchucking his snot that was rolling down the back of his throat. Mommy is already exhausted from work and other stressors . Long night for me.. and maybe my boy will get some sleep tonight

Update::

My little is still dealing with a cold. He’s got a runny/stuffy nose, wont eat much and keeps saying “I’m sick”. no fever Though, just sick with a cold. I’m exhausted, but it’s Friday and I’m blessed to be able to take care of my little without any criticism.

thank you all so much for the prayers..

So for those who may be interested in my dog attack story. It is certainly an example of God's love and protection.

I came home from work and went for a walk. You know the exercise and destress routine. I had to walk past two houses that were always a concern to me. One was the psycho residence owned by a psycho couple and their angry psycho Bullmastiff dog. Directly opposite to that house was an new elderly couple with their short stocky Bull Terrier dog (Duke). Psycho dog was always behind a fence and Duke was always on the front porch soaking up the sun and sleeping. He was not behind a fence, in fact there was no fencing on his property. He never bothered me but because of his breed and size he did concern me.

On this particular evening I went for my usual walk and came to the two houses of concern. Psycho dog would usually see me and start barking and growling as I walked past. Duke would wake up from his slumber, look at me then go back to sleep. As I came to the two houses there was no barking from psycho dog. Duke however woke up from his sleep and looked. I thought great psycho dog has gone Hallelujah!!! Then suddenly psycho started barking, I looked and he was at the front of the house and not behind the fence. He barked, growled and came running towards me. I thought "Oh no, I am a gonner!!!"" The only thing I could do was say in my mind "Lord HELP!!!!!"

The whole thing was a bit of a blur and seemed to have happened in slow motion but Duke came running over to me and stood directly by my side and walked with me as if I were his owner. I did not know Duke nor at this stage hadn't met his elderly parents yet. He growled at psycho dog who at this stage was savagely barking and grinding his teeth at me. Duke stood between me and psycho and growled as though he was saying "stay away from her". Psycho backed off and went back to his place and Duke continued to walk with me. At some point when I was far enough, he stopped looked at me as though he was saying goodbye and turned around and walked back home. I was shocked. I cannot figure out how he managed to get to me before Psycho as Psycho had a head start. I quickly thanked the Lord and continued my walk.

On my way back I had to once again pass these two houses to return to mine so I quickly said a prayer. "Lord help me please again" I continued on and the same thing happened. Psycho barked, came running and growling and grinding his teeth. Duke was fast asleep on his porch came running over and stood right next to me shielding me from psycho. He growled at psycho and psycho backed off and returned home. Duke continued to walk with me until I reached my drive way. At this point he stopped, said goodbye and took off back home. I was amazed again. I thanked the Lord.

When I saw Dukes elderly father in his garden I told him the story of how his dog protected me. I ended up becoming very good friends with him, his wife and dog for quite a few years. I heard all of his stories. He in fact was the only living captain of the large whaling boats that we had here when whaling in the seventies was the main industry. She had some amazing stories too and Duke and I used to go for walks together as they were both too unwell to walk him. All three have since passed on. This was a few years ago and I have fond memories of all three of them and a testimony of Gods love and protection

What an awesome, lovely story! That just made my day. Thanks for sharing.

I second GG: that is an amazing story!

I once had a dog come charging at me fiercely barking up a storm... it froze me in my tracks, but when the charging dog was a few feet away from me, all I said was Hey! Really loud and startled, and the dog stopped in his tracks! LOL. My sister told me a story of a dog that barked and growled at her and her dogs from behind a fence every time they walked by. One day her daughter had let their little dog off-leash for a run in the green space behind their house, and suddenly there was a coyote chasing down their dog for lunch. My niece did not know what to do, for in reality she had not time to do anything, neither reach her dog in time nor time to go for help. Out of nowhere comes this dog that was always menacing them from behind a fence, and chased off the coyote, saving their little dog from being a wild critter's lunch. My sister says she does not know why or how this dog was not confined at that time, as it usually was. I am always so amazed and touched at these stories of animals being such protectors of others, both other animal species, and humans too. They warm my heart to melting

Friday nights are always better then a week night lol especially with children

 

[Godsgirl83]

I don't feel so bad about staying up late.....
I sometimes do (or try to) during the week, but always pay for it (sleep deprivation is NOT fun)
I try to on Fridays guilt free (IF I don't crash early).
