Get the hell out of my store

Was doing my "honey-do's" this morning.

One stop was to the local butcher to pick up some tasty meat selections.

They are a riot there. It's more of a social call rather than shopping. When it was my turn, the young man behind the counter asked what I wanted.

I said, "Where is the vegan selection?"

He replied, without skipping a beat, "On the corner of get-the-hell-out-of-my-store."

I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. There was half a dozen people there. They all laughed also.

It's nice to go out and have a laugh now and then. Everyone left smiling, and I was able to purchase some tasty tasty meat in the process.

Remember the good ole Barber Shops?

Some of the arguments and joking around would have gone viral if we had youtube around back then!

And parsnips. I got parsnips.

The barber shop my grandfather took me to... Good men, good haircuts. They could cut up!

Now days, you'd have a bunch of triggered manginas and probably some civil lawsuits.

I still go to one. The guy has cut hair the same way for the past 50 years.

And on Veterans Day, he gives free cuts to veterans.

Only the most tastiest of all known vegetables.

How could one forget getting the Flat-top trimmed every Saturday with my Dad for years?
It was horrible.

It's the only way to eat them. Always better after a good frost because the starch turns to sugar and they taste delicious basted with the juices of the meat.

It's a white tuber like a carrot but a bit spicier like a radish but milder and a bit starchy like a potato. Yummy. Served pureed next to a nice juicy steak.

a reply to: Sillyolme

I might have to try one. For the life of me, I can't ever remember ever eating one.

All three of my kids are vegans, but not me!

I like parsnips peeled and sliced with carrots, steamed then drained and then drizzled with a mixture of hot butter and brown sugar, then sprinkled with finely chopped pistacio nuts

Just needs a pound of bacon.

Or stuffed with spicy sausage.

Meat stuffed meat is heaven for your mouth.

One of the thing I bought was a beautiful 6 pound roast, currently being cooked in the oven.

My secret recipe is cooking it in a French onion soup stock.
