Coming Soon to Le Bistro Pove in Sarasota. GOAT CURRY!

 One of the blessings in being the Rector at St. James's Episcopal Church in Cambridge MA was the life and witness of many parishioners from the Caribbean Islands. They were essential to our spiritual well being.

And our physical well being too!  When we had a parish dinner some of them could be counted on to bring GOAT CURRY.

That's where I learned to love it. So much so that for my 65th birthday party at home in Bristol, U.K. I was fortunate enough to engage a fine chef who made Goat Curry.  ( There was vegetarian Lasagna too).

Curry is more popular than Fish and Chips these days in the U.K., so I knew that my birthday meal would be a winner.

It was only after the guests had enjoyed their Curry  that I told them they'd eaten Goat meat.  (If they'd known it was Goat before they'd eaten it there would have been a certain eeew factor!).

I've been hunting around to find a purveyor of Goat meat in this area.  I found it at "The Meat  House of Sarasota".

I bought almost 4lbs today, about half a leg of Goat.  The butcher  (or a machine) cut it into small pieces for ease in cooking.   It's on the bone  -  all the better for flavour.

There is a feast in the future for me, and some of my discerning friends.

  80 years equals family Fifty plus of us. My five remaining sibs and their spouses. Nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews.

This 80-year-old child wore a birthday coronet and insisted on having his face painted. A marvelous family reunion; and the greatest celebration of my four score years.

Not the best of days HELP! A mistake and a fall.

  I arrived in time for my 8:50 appointment with my Dermatologist.   The Receptionist told me that I did not have an appointment.  She checked the records and told me that my appointment is for Tuesday. I knew that.  Then the light dawned.  Up until that moment I had thought that it was Tuesday, not Monday. You'd think that calendars had not been invented! It got worse. I took Cooper for an early pee walk this afternoon.  He lifted his leg to cue. Then he took a strong and mad dash towards a Squirrel.  I fell down.  And great was my fall. Lots of scrapes.  No bones broken. Pictures not in order. Excuse duplicates. No sympathy please - I was foolish. Fortunately, I had an arm bandage to sop up the blood. It looks worse than it is. BUT  1.  I was foolish in two ways. First, I had taken Cooper on a short leash.  I'd have had more control with the double handled long leash. 2. When he made his mad dash, I should have dropped ...
