    description was "cross-cut shank" or similar... which makes sense to
    me... ;) But this did look like a steak... :) The price, however, was much lower than the typical steak... :)
    I'd have liked the chance to inspect it.
    It appears to be a regular item in our store, so you might get that
    chance at some time...

    I think that it's violative of customary usage.
    Maybe I'll see it sometime, but more likely I'm
    going to avert my eyes.

    After I'd been baking bread for a while, I found that I really wasn't worried about precision of measurement at all... and it always turned
    out fine anyway... :)
    For sure. It's more a feel thing than
    anything else.
    Yup, that's what I learned... :)

    Or you can let it rise an extra time or two.

    ... WindowError:00F Unexplained error. Please tell us how it happened.
    Both Windows and Firefox do that, in almost those words.
    Oh, dear....

    I'm not going to generate an error just to
    be able to quote it back to you.

    Chunk really is best.
    No doubt... but as you know, I do tend to take some shortcuts... ;)
    Hate it. Okay, I'm suspicious of that tendency.
    Oh, I know... but I don't make any pretensions to being a real
    cook.. :)
    But there are easy things that make life better.
    And I've incorporated some of them... but using fresh garlic and onions
    does take more time... :) There can be trade-offs... ;)

    But to me the pluses of real almost always far outweigh
    the minuses.

    One thing of course is the equation of dollar value
    with real human worth. Do you remember The Game of
    Life? As I recall, you were assigned a profession at
    the beginning, and doctors and lawyers were assigned
    salaries of many times what teachers were, not
    unlike real life.
    Oh, yes, I remember that game... and I remember those salaries... one
    spun a dial to see what one would be... not quite like real life... I'm
    told that nowadays, teachers get much higher salaries in comparison than then, though...

    Of course, nowadays they have to provide classroom materials,
    take out gobs of life insurance, and so on.

    I promised her I'd show her how to do just as
    well with pork shoulder. Better, in fact, because
    they often don't remove the skin from shoulder.
    And have you yet...?
    She's in Turkey at the moment, and I'm not.
    It may be a while.
    I know how that goes... Where in Turkey...? Anywhere near Bodrum where
    the kid is...?

    Her group did a cruise around the "Turkish Riviera," so
    maybe, but they're in my favorite part, Cappadocia, now.

    As the cardiac surgeon admitted when I found his
    disquisitions rather simplistic, "I spent most of my
    life treating Marines. I'm used to explaining things
    in words of at most one syllable." It was the one
    humorous thing he said in more than two weeks.
    Not the least because it was true, no doubt... :)

    Hey, you were the one that said you'd've liked the chance to inspect
    it... ;) And it cooked up in the pan just fine.... ;)

    After I'd been baking bread for a while, I found that I really wasn't worried about precision of measurement at all... and it always turned

    For sure. It's more a feel thing than

    If convenient... done that a time or two, also...

    And you're a real cook... (G) Even though it does take more time, I'm
    usually using the fresh garlic and onions nowadays, besides.... :)

    Bodrum is more inland, I'm pretty sure... on the Black Sea...
