I hope you are all fine and that you enjoyed the weekend. As I mentioned in my last post here, I was very tired from all the walking and shopping I did on Friday and Saturday. Thankfully the weather was good for those days. In fact, it was good all week long.
Late Saturday the raindrops started falling but just sporadically. Today it rained but not so much. It will rain more tomorrow. So we ended the week in sunshine and start the new week with cloudy skies and rain.
It looks like the week ahead will be mainly sunny and warmish, with a few cloudy periods. This is good news because one of my dear friends and I are planning a walk around a lake and of course we'd prefer that it isn't raining when we do so. We've postponed a ew times already due to inclement weather but now the temperatures are much warmer than they were a few weeks ago.
I haven't been reading much this week as I've been busy with several meetings and appointments. I need to get cracking on 2 books that will come due at the library shortly.
I've been experimenting lately with eating parts of the beef that I don't normally eat. Partly it's due to lack of availability at my local grocery store. But last week I made beef tongue which I haven't had since I was a young girl. It was nice and tender. On Sunday I made beef liver with some onions and pieces of bacon. I didn't have a lot of bacon so I cut it into pieces and mixed it with the onions. It was tasty.
Liver isn't readily available at my local grocery store either but oddly enough I found it at another grocery store owned by same billionaire. Now the parent company is converting one grocery store (Buy-Low) into the other (Save On). I don't know why they are doing this because Buy Low is not a new acquisition. It was purchased in 1995 by the Jim Pattison Group but I have noticed the soaring prices at Buy - Low over the past 3 years. All three major grocery stores in my general neighbourhood are owned by the same company. It's no wonder the prices are so high at all of them.

I'm not a liver fan! It's supposed to warm up here today but so far,, a little brisk -- and temps diving by Thursday. Well, no rain today, so I'll take it!
Parts of grass fed beef could be good but the current beef at markets is not great for our health.
Years ago, we used to buy whole beeves for the locker and/or freezer which really helped raising a family. You would have the option of converting organ meat into more ground beef, but Bill had grown up on a farm and he convinced me to try tongue and heart and liver and so I learned to cook all of those and I'm glad I did. We don't eat as much meat these days, so it's been a while. Thanks for the memories.
