That's a relief.no. i draw the line at kidneysI do, too. The meat tastes too glandular.

but I still treasure my brother's comment the first time I brought it to the table - all the lights out and the flaming pudding in all it's glory place on the table"Oh goody. Burning lump"
Made a roast chicken for dinner tonight with a glass of dry rose' from Provence. One of my favorite meals. It just felt like a good day for it.
