A Sunday, cloudy, coolish (different from warmish) and all is as well as can be expected. Plans, not many, if any at all except just one; cook the 1/2 roti veal tough-as-nails for however long it takes using the braising method. Braised then in a porridge of pureed pineapple and smoked chipotle peppers. It sounds right and the gods know that the braise will take hours, even though the 1/2 roti veal tough-as-nails will resist. After properly reduced to strings to be pulled apart and placed into tortillas for pulled veal enchiladas! A fine cooking exercise for a Sunday 1st day of September. Oh, this veal roti was assembled at our local grocery store C undoubtedly from the Charolais breed of cattle. Huge animals they have a reputation for....strength of their meat. Oft times the females when finished with their milking capability are turned into steaks, chops and very lean 5% fat hamburger.
Kelly has recovered from her journey home through the chunnel. I'm glad she's back! I need the companionship for sure and I'm happy she and Audrey had a good time exploring London. They visited the British Museum and the V&A as well, plus ate all the expected vittles, fish and chips, pork pie, bubble and squeak and more. Audrey returned to the US on Friday.
Well, about the potential Portugal trip; I don't think we're going this year. It's 10 days to explore the local environs, drive to lesser known villages, ogle the unknown countryside and repair the car. Headlights on passenger side have died, I have to sort out the disassembly and the build types and obtain them from who knows. I want to replace the circuitous belt too, with 120,000 miles on the old machine it's about time, it squeaks now and it shouldn't. So much for Portugal.
And the rain showers have begun. Not a downpour, just a trickle for the herbs.
