Friday Question: Snails, Anyone?
Today I'm resting in the movie room with a sore throat, watching Lucy. Which brings us to Friday's Question.
Have you ever eaten snails? If not, would you?
Me? I dunno. I would want to, but given the opportunity, I'm not sure I'd be able to do it. Maybe if they weren't in a shell, and looking up at me. Maybe if they were chopped.
Just not sure. How about you?
PS: I love when Lucy says, "Waiter. This food has snails in it." And then puts that thing on her nose. See below.
I've seen it a million times, I still bust out laughing.

Somebody Hand Me a Paint Brush
I moved everything to the movie room closet, with the exception of laundry soap, crapper paper, and paper towels. Those have been moved elsewhere, and I'm as happy as a pig in shit.
Somebody hand me a paint brush because I'm chomping at the bit, to get that movie/reading room painted.
Life is good.

Today's Menu: Meat Paste
I love these treats because they taste good, are crunchy and made with leftover chicken bits.
Boil the raw chicken. Strain. Cool. Blitz in processor until it looks like meat paste. Dump in a bowl, add flour and dog-friendly herbs. No weighing, just eyeball and feel when texture is ready to roll. Then cut into shapes and bake.
Note: Sometimes I add a little of the cooking water.
Also Note: Adding too much flour, lowers the meat taste.
I'm still working out the times and temps. Next batch I'll try baking the pretty side down, then flip half-way through, because that might yield a more even bake. We'll see.
And that's a wrap. Meat paste. Easy. Fun. Tasty. How can it be wrong? Now, I'm headed to the shower and then to market. The goal: FREE crapper paper.

Movin' & Groovin'
This was the first week in many that didn't start with a trip to the chiropractors, followed by rest.
And you know what?
I love the freedom of a pain-free start. I'm happy with my progress, both spinal and household. By this time next week, I should be painting the movie room.
Love it.
Here's something I didn't love. Today I had to toss veggie stock due to salmonella poisoning from organic black pepper.
But let's end on a high note. See these? FREE at CVS.
