What's All This Then

Why should I care what this guy has to say?

The correct answer is that you shouldn’t. We’re all entitled to our opinions. Develop your own. I try to be sane and rational, but that may change with the level of caffeine intake. I’m just telling my stories in the hopes they may amuse and/or inform others. And... I Confess... I'm showing off my bitchen collection a bit.

Artes Del Carne

The pandemic has led me to some pretty obscure little corners in my LP collection.  I have a few boxes in a storage room of indeterminate origin. 

So I find this record in an old box.  



My father in law liked latin music.  I'm assuming this came from him.  What amused me about it was the tape listing 'artistry in meats.'   My wife confirmed this was from her dad's store.  



So - it does to show.  One can find artistry anywhere.  Even in meat.   

What's in a term?

A local Hispanic market hoping to cash in on the foodie craze has rebranded their carniceria as a 'craft butchery.'   I've been going there for years and hope to for many years to come.  The clientele has changed since their name changed.  Hipsters are now shopping at the Hispanic market.   

Reminds me of a Simpson's episode where a tunnel led from the trendy part of town to Moe's.   'This isn't a faux dive bar, it's a real dive bar.'   Moe's reply - 'You're a long way from home yuppie boy.'
