New Resolutions ...

1. I have removed stuffed olives (some call them "Spanish Olives," but mine come from California) from my Martini recipe. They take up too much room in the glass.
2. My painting is going to get much "looser." I am not happy with painting detail when a photograph does a much better job of that.
3. At least one day each week I make it a point to not shower or change clothes. That is usually on a day where I do not intend to go out anywhere. But I always brush my teeth twice a day and use Listerine, just in case I get to talk to the dolly mail carrier.
4. I leave the pet carrier case on the floor with the gate open so the cats can feel comfortable with it. Quincy sleeps in it now, and several other cats have napped there. It will make it easier when they need a trip to the vet.
5. I cut my meat intake to four days a week now, not for health reasons but because of prices. Rib Eye steak at twelve bucks a pound? Are you kidding me? Eye of Round roast at Seven?
6. I will not mention (out loud or in my head) the Martin-Zimmerman fiasco again. It only turns friends into enemies. I am a flaming liberal and nothing, nothing, will ever change that.
7. I won't ever repeat what I did Friday night after this. It was way too much conversation over a bottle of damn good single malt Scotch. I cannot remember the drive home, but the car was out back in the morning and I had made the coffee for morning, so I must have got home without putting up bail money.

Hate olives , or cooking with it --eyeing off the mail dolly drink drive TUT TUT , meat prices here are still reasonable by one kilo which equals 2.2 lbs --T bone about $14 kg rump $10---lamb is the dearest leg lamb $10 loin chops $14, now 50 years back a full side of lamb would cost

I remember in 1973 when there was some event that caused the price of hamburger to shoot up from $.29 a pound to $.49 (might have been govt price supports), and everyone thought it was the end of the world. I can still hear this one woman saying: "My husband simply must have his meat at every meal."

BTW, I am glad you are going to start painting more freely with less detail.
Think Monet!!

All good resolutions. I eat red meat almost every day. We get very tired
of fish and chicken. I am still strong and healthy so I don't believe the
current thinking about red meat. Ed, you are a man after my own heart.

Come visit -- we'll have roast beef or roast lamb.

I like a bit of the olive juice in the martini. You don't have to add the olive, eat it separately. I like the combination. Every Thursday at our local Pulix market, meat products go on sale. I can often get T bone marked down from $12 or more a pound to $7 a pound. At BJ's discount store, T bones and rib eyes and porterhouse steaks are routinely just under $7 a pound. Sirloin is about $5. Don't your stores ever have sales? 4 days a week of meat is too much meat. Ed, of course,has corned beef hash for breakfast, often buys an Italian sub for lunch, and always asks for steak for dinner. It's hard to keep him healthy. He thinks he will cluck if I cook any more chicken, whereas I think he will wake up one morning mooing.

Most meat I buy is in the section of the meat case where they sell the marked-down expiring cuts. Today I got my annual half brisket to smoke next week, priced at $13.90 and marked down to $7.45. Took it home, wrapped it and put it in the freezer.
