Christmas Eats




                                      






As Christmas day approaches, I want to talk less about people whose guts I hate, and more about them I find pleasure in.  Vivian Howard ( PBS series, "A Chef's Life") is one.  I am not making this up.  Earlier in the week I thought a good post would be about how parents should start teaching their chilluns how to prepare raw food  Especially meat.  Like, shoot, skin, and gut a squirrel.  Or Chickens.  And lo!.  This episode.  It's warm, fuzzy, and full of good cheer. 

Aside.  This Chicago boy learned about such stuff because gram and gramps had a farm in Indiana where me & sister-sue spent  part of out summer.  At age 8 I was harvesting
and cleaning  chicken, rabbit, and squirrel for gramma's pot.  Gramps had pigs, but trucked them to an Indianapolis abattoir.
