Stomp, shower, sparkle ...smile

A while back an omnivore friend of mine and I were talking. She was saying how she really liked a particular sandwich at a restaurant with au jus. She was wondering if she could make it at home. I said yeah it’s really just the water blood and fat which is expelled from the meat while you are cooking and then spicing it up a bit to your own taste with salt, pepper, perhaps some vinegar, Worcestershire, etc … please don’t say that’s not the right stuff. I’m not a cooking show I’m making a different point. But I know when I worked in the restaurant biz it was mainly just the liquefied fat expelled water and blood from the meat we were cooking.

She made a face like she had not thought about it being blood before. I asked if that was it and she said yes. I said au jus mean with the juices. What juice do you get from meat? That’s right you get juice from veggies and fruit but not from animals. I wasn’t saying it to be mean, just making a point. Now you can make au jus at home from a mix using bullion. Which really means someone else has already cooked out the meat juice and spiced it up and then pulled about 99.9% of the water out of it so you can re-liquefy it later. No granted au jus isn’t like chomping into a vein or spiking an artery with a straw and having a gulp.

Anyway she didn’t throw up thinking about it and that wasn’t my objective, we then moved to conversation on to talking about the pixie. (Stomp shower sparkle hee hee) Well …it means something to me and it’s too involved to actually explain and not loose the whole point in the translation., it makes me smile… then there is the super girl thing… well perhaps not that … similar yet completely different

Lost yet ? I not… or at least I don’t think I am. But the microbial war still rages in my body I think the home team is winning but losing means death so let’s hope I win or if you not a fan perhaps you wish the other way… eventually the away team wins but not the point. Hope your home team is winning too.


Have a great day and play nice in the neighborhood.

Ciao,
