PokeyJack's Journal, 26 June 2016

The potluck had beautiful weather: sunny and warm. I sat out in the sun until I could feel my right forearm sizzling. And, sure enough, when I got to the awning-covered porch, I saw the red blotches. Ah, but everyone cooked for the potluck, and so of course I had to take a bit of everything. A week ago, I realized that beef could be on my menu again: I had stopped eating it because it played Hob with my "Lady Time" (migraines & projectile hurking). Now that I'm on the other side of The Change, there's no risk of that anymore. The host had cooked all the burgers Medium Rare, and mine tasted pretty good. Wonder if beef costs are anywhere near chicken and turkey costs?


Ed's cake -- his mother's recipe -- was delicious, so fruity yet not overly sweet. Hats off to Ed's Mom! The frosting, however, was probably enough for a second two-layer cake, and I'm certain that I ingested an entire month's worth of sweetener based on the volume of the frosting! Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm: tasty!

The Apple Spirals got compliments of both kinds: people thought they were pretty, and they ate pretty much all of them. Eating it up is my idea of a compliment to the "chef," so I feel even more encouraged to take those carving lessons. Oh, man, do I ever need a job!

Apple spirals? Wow that sounds so good! I only cook beef & pork mainly since my boys have chicken and turkey allergies... Only ground beef is comparable in price if I buy it in bulk at Sam's club. I see chicken bone in is usually around the $0.99 to $1.99 per pound price, beef ground at Sam's club is usually around $2.79 a pound, but at a grocery store, usually around $4 a pound. The other kinds of flap beef usually run me about $3.99 to $4.99 a pound on sale or at a Mexican Carniceria. Not sure of turkey cause I haven't cooked it in years. This is Southern California prices.

Occasional social events are time to enjoy yourself. Just get back on the horse and moving forward with your goals. You got this!
