The texture of the organ meat was not crumbly. Very silky and squishy with absolutely no flavor. <br /><br />We did go for half and half. The bean tasted like a sweet burrito wrapped in a waffle. Custard was more to our liking. <br /><br />Cheers,<br />IsraelIsraelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09815074098217048456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1163582701829640205.post-68170251544065744892016-01-24T15:34:51.668-08:002016-01-24T15:34:51.668-08:00We're beginning to resemble dumplings.We're beginning to resemble dumplings.Israelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09815074098217048456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1163582701829640205.post-46226756656624969872016-01-20T06:02:12.329-08:002016-01-20T06:02:12.329-08:00Time for a weigh-in.Time for a weigh-in.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04163149131691277105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1163582701829640205.post-66290450135639845732016-01-14T19:32:50.949-08:002016-01-14T19:32:50.949-08:00I am too jealous Israel of your non-stop food acti...I am too jealous Israel of your non-stop food action in Taiwan. Thanks for sharing it all. That soup doesn't look as spleeny- too slick and shiny but was the texture crumbly? Crumbly and bit black pudding like tends to be spleen. <br /><br />I would totally go for custard too! Maybe you can ask for half half next time.<br />Hhsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13118616887446192686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1163582701829640205.post-39587821780164092052015-07-05T07:11:48.154-07:002015-07-05T07:11:48.154-07:00Sounds delightful.Sounds delightful.Israelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09815074098217048456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1163582701829640205.post-1379320906046621472015-07-05T06:18:29.842-07:002015-07-05T06:18:29.842-07:0050s here a couple days ago.

I didn't raise them and still it was very hard for me. I will have to check out Silver Spoon. I'm cheering you on in your quest to pare down your stuff. I've been doing the same in a mild fashion. I find getting rid of things invigorating. When was the last time I wore that pink pearl snap button down? Dump it!<br /><br />Best,<br />IsraelIsraelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09815074098217048456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1163582701829640205.post-55228077521959568652015-05-25T12:51:25.563-07:002015-05-25T12:51:25.563-07:00Dear Israel,

But at least you have killed these goats in a quick humane way and consumed them appreciatively and deliciously. There is a wonderful Japanese anime called Silver Spoon on youtube about a agricultural high school that also treats this subject in a thoughtful and sensitive way. <br /><br />Hhsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13118616887446192686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1163582701829640205.post-30843547275505729642015-04-11T08:57:10.199-07:002015-04-11T08:57:10.199-07:00Thanks Jeff.

But the one I found in St. Louis was not smoked to death. We've still got an uncured jowl in the freezer and I hope to turn it into a smoked morsel. Thanks for the encouragement and I'm so glad to have you as a reader. You are right. The tea thing has dried up a bit for me. Still drinking, but such a challenge to find the good stuff and involves so much trial and error (and expense). (We've been over this before) I think unless you are someone like Marshaln and can go drink 35 nice oolongs in a week in Taiwan, inspiration is bound to come and go and maybe sometimes go for long, long spells.<br /><br />cheers,<br />Israel<br />Israelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09815074098217048456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1163582701829640205.post-34497949067272523392013-12-21T17:28:19.260-08:002013-12-21T17:28:19.260-08:00Is!
