****** NEWSFLASH *****

Cat doesn’t taste as good as dog (http://audiblesmirk.wordpress.com/2008/12/19/cat-doesnt-taste-as-good-as-dog/)


December 19, 2008
That is, according to a Chinese abattoir who sells cat meat (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081219/ap_on_re_as/as_china_cat_protest) for use in a Guangdong Province soup recipe. According to reports, perhaps 1,000 cats a day go to Guangdong to satisfy feline lovers (of eating them, not worshipping them). PETA has it work cut out for itself in China, the country has no animal welfare or protection laws whatsoever.
Cat is something of a delicacy, bring much higher prices than dog or chicken:
“She said cat meat sold for about $1.32 a pound, while dog meat was cheaper, at about 95 cents a pound. Chicken was the best buy at 62 cents a pound, while lamb sold for about $1.32.”
Cats aren’t the only, shall we say, unusual (to us) animal that is eaten. As a Chinese friend of mine told me, if it crawls or walks, it’s edible.
Guangdong is home to the Cantonese people, famous for being the most adventurous eaters in China. There’s a popular saying: “The Cantonese will eat anything that flies, except airplanes, and anything with legs, except a chair.”
And now, a first for the Audible Smirk, a recipe:
“There’s a famous soup called ‘Dragon, Tiger and Phoenix,’” Zhu said. “It involves cooking snake, cat and chicken together. In winter more people eat cats as they believe it’s extra nutritious.”
I’ve seen items with a similar name on menus around here. Umm..

Remember this when making tamales!

Bacon & Eggs, hashbrowns covered with sausage gravy (the sausage was ordered from the Loveless Cafe in Nashville. Yum!), and sourdough toast.

Yesterday it was a meatloaf sandwich.

pour one level cup and drink.

Turn on the electric mixer. Beat one cup of butter

it's best to make sure the Cuervo is still ok, try another
cup just in case.

Turn off the mixerer thingy.

Break 2 leggs and add to the bowl and chuck in the cup
of dried fruit.

Pick the frigging fruit off the floor.

Mix on the turner.


If the fried druit gets stuck in the beaters just pry
it loose with a drewscriver.

Sample the Cuervo to check for tonsisticity.

Next, sift two cups of salt, or something. Who geeves
a sheet. Check the Jose Cuervo. Now shift the lemon juice and strain your nuts.
Add one table.

Add a spoon of sugar, or somefink. Whatever you can
find.

Greash the oven.

Turn the cake tin 360 degrees and try not to fall
over.

Don't forget to beat off the turner.


Finally, throw the bowl through the window, finish the
Cose Juervo and make sure to put the stove in the wishdasher.

Cherry Mistmas !

Yum! Yesterday I ate eggs & sausage with a chocolate cream Xmas (Easter?) egg for desert and I was still hungry so I plowed right into lunch. :D I had liverwurst & crackers, cherimoya & cottage cheese and a big dill pickle. I haven't had breakfast yet today but I will be starting with eggs & hashbrowns.

[tgcali]

Sounds good Scarr! Right now I'm eyeing the chocolate truffles our landlady gave us.....and munching on Pepperidge Farm Toasted Sesame snack sticks. Come to think of it, I might not make it to IHOP, I went shopping yesterday and there's a lot of good stuff right here!
