All The Schinkens

 

HAMMING IT UP


Those who know me well will know that I make a weekly pilgrimage to Geiers German foodstuffs store



and to 


Mama G's German Bakery

Today 20th Oct 2023 I was at Geiers

Of course I bought some of their great "English Bangers"  Would you believe it, a German company in Sarasota FL which makes English Bangers - as good as you can buy anywhere.

I was looking for a particular German Ham but it was nowhere to be found.

So I settled for Bauerschinken.  It's pretty darn good.



I took my purchases back to the car and to the ever patient Zion.

I ruminated for a while, then returned to the store.  The same Clerk waited on me.

I said "I have a question" and pointed to a place in the cold meats section.  My question was about the absent ham. I did not have to ask it.  The clerk said 

Hessischen Ham 


She read my mind. She explained that this particular ham was being cured in their "hammery"; and that she did not know when it would be market fit and inspected


I'll be patient!

I asked her to write down the name of the ham.   She replied that that was not necessary because I would easily remember it if and when I saw a HESS gas station!   Cool!

Cousins, second cousins, third cousins A joyful and relaxed family reunion. Super food. Great food for children with activities for them too, including face painting. 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 ...
