what to have for dinner

I can't decide. I have steak and pork in the freezer. Here are my options.

1. Steak. (a) Pan-fired, with mashed potatoes probably -- I really love mashed potatoes. Um, onions. Green beans. (b) Stir-fry. Cut the steak into strips and cook it with bell peppers and onions, and I'm pretty sure I have some snow peas. Perhaps add some curry? I don't have any coconut milk, unfortunately. There's always soy sauce. And rice, of course.

2. Pork...hm. (a) I'd like to make Mom's barbecued chicken (or in this case, pork) and simmer the sauce down until it gets thick -- just to see how it turns out. We could have mashed potatoes, onions, and greens beans with this, too. (b) I could also cut it into strips and either fry or grill it. I think I like the barbecue sauce idea best, though.

3. Bread and Company. Yes, I could go for some tomato basil soup and a grilled cheese sandwich. Maybe the creamy turkey soup if we have it today. Somehow, I still don't have the soup schedule memorized.

Hi there, I feel the need to say that my co-worker Eddie, who hunts, is going to give me venison. (!) no fat, no gristle, just lean venison cut up into strips isn't that WHOA????? he said he stir-fries it with a vidalia onion and a green pepper, so, I am quite looking forward to telling you how it went. oh my gosh. so. yes.

What's in My Journal (by William Stafford)

Odd things, like a button drawer. Mean
things, fishhooks, barbs in your hand.
But marbles too. A genius for being agreeable.
Junkyard crucifixes, voluptuous
discards. Space for knickknacks, and for
Alaska. Evidence to hang me, or to beautify.
Clues that lead nowhere, that never connected
anyway. Deliberate obfuscation, the kind
that takes genius. Chasms in character.
Loud omissions. Mornings that yawn above
a new grave. Pages you know exist
but you can't f ind them. Somebody's terribly
inevitable life story, maybe mine.
