As the lady said as she read the menu, "Ox tongue?! You want me to eat something that has been in an animal's mouth?! No, give me an egg!"

Yesterday's bacon tomato tomato sandwich.
Cornmeal breaded fried green tomato topped with a vine ripe tomato, topped with bacon.
The sweetness of the ripe one balanced the tartness of the green one perfectly.

Love fried green tomatoes

Bambi didn't have such great luck with me and Monstro's big brother many years ago out in Wyoming.

She exploded like a water balloon.

Did over $5,000 damage to the truck, and I sat in a motel room for a few days while a local shop got my truck driveable and I could finish my trip from East Texas to Seattle.

Most trucks up here have BFBs on them (big f$^&%$ bumpers) to attempt to deal with the inevitable bear, deer or moose collision.

...and this year as well Italy is going to win the UCI World Championship next year...

Bears are bad too....low to the ground and heavy

Oh, by the way folks, I'm back from my five day absence.

Loving the 21 Ltd I got the day before the trip, only lens I used (I brought it and the 40 XS), and I liked the focal length. I took well over 200 photos with it, and probably in the range of 50-100 keepers. Nice and compact to take up the wall climbing, I took 10 shots to make a panorama, so I'll get on to that soon. Maybe I can share some shots. I'm glad I bought it!

Anyways, away from photo discussion...

Bacon!

I took a couple panos while away too, I'll have to get around to stitching them together one day and see the results

I thought BFB stood for Badass f$^&%$ Bob, or so I was told.

This is a nasty....

I've been seeing a steady stream of migrating Monarch butterflies, more than the last several years.
That's a good thing.

Here, you log in to internet banking and enter the amount you want to transfer, the recipients name and bank acc number and a reference and - done. Money transfered. Problem is, if you enter the account number incorrectly, our system can be problematic and requires bank intervention to correct.

I like your e-mail confirmation idea!

We started instant tellers and bank cards here back in '81...I think that was a bit ahead of the game for many other places. Helps to have banks that communicate well. My sister tells me horror stories of dealing with banks in Texas.

I never had a taste for organ meats. Liver, kidney, tongue, brains, tripe, all are disgusting to me.

I have had beef heart a few times over the years, and it isn’t bad, but I won’t go out of my way to eat it.

Heart is just a muscle like any other meat (not an organ). I found it quite good the couple times I had it.

Always liked tongue (beef and pork). Testicles, rooster or bull, are not so nice, although the Chinese soup style of the rooster ones was much better than the US cooking of the bull's.

There is a style of cooking liver in Switzerland that was FANTASTIC. Pity I have never seen it here,

So we have two frozen hearts with no idea what to do with them.

There are quite a few recipes out there in googleland. My buddy cooked it in a slow cooker like a pot roast although I am not sure of all the steps to prep.
