I went to an out of town market today with a friend. Main reason for going was because I know that there I can always get great pork hocks there at a good price. Going to a family sort of house warming on Friday where hubby's cousin is coming from British Columbia. His late mother of from whom I learned to make headcheese, so that's what I am making. Interesting, why is that name is a dish that has neither head nor cheese in it?. Market is about a 45 min. drive, and well worth the drive.
Biggest problem is/was that I have little freezer space, but I did find some real "treats". Really meaty beef ribs that I can't find often, and some Meditteranean sea bass (whole fish) which I'll do stuffed for 90 year old Uncle Ernie in a few days. He loves fish, and would surely never do that on his own.
Then, of course, we stopped for lunch, I had a wonderful shepherds' pie in a restaurant my sister and I liked; she had what she said was wonderful liver and onions. No pictures, no dinner tonight. Great day with an old friend and neighbour.
PS on edit. My sister and I used to go out for lunch a lot. I miss it still, and it was really nice to visit with an old friend. Moving from where I lived for almost 40 years has been tough. I love my condo life, but living alone after all those years is not easy.
