on the stove and from the field


there are meat parts which we are not very used to eat. though as we get the meat straight from the farmer (my brother), we get the not so common to see on the table parts too. this time it was the liver. elias doesn't mind it, amos and naomi don't like it, though every time i prepare it everyone has to try a bit. i'm still hoping the ones not liking it will acquire the taste. even if it doesn't become a favorite it will be a wonderful skill to be able to eat whatever comes on the table.
i learned this at a young age, and yes i do remember some odd things like lung (the lung of a cow) or utter cold cuts (you  read correct, at we didn't know it was what it was until after the fact) by the way that one was very tasty, until to day i like tongue with capers to just name a few. bone marrow was a special treat, just sucking it out of the bone after it was cooked, of course there was some good fun at around  our family lunch tables too.

o well right now the favorite in the kitchen are big buckets full of fresh strawberries. i went to the field at rikon (toesstaler erdbeeren infoband 052-383-1237) on tuesday monring and it was wonderful, they taste sweet and sunny. 25lbs came home with me, lots of them already eaten, some in the freezer and each and every one has the opportunity to keep eating. naomi loves to take a little container along for school snack... what better could there be, i'm so happy to see her face when she prepares her little snack box before she run's out of the house in the morning.
