Default I was thirsty.The trials of a old foodie.

I went into the kitchen with the idea I'd get some ice water outa the
fridge...I was real thirsty...Mouth dry thristy. Instead I sliced up a
small onion, 1/2 a red bell pepper and 4 or 5 largish mushrooms plus 2
cloves elephant garlic. Put them in a foil package with a pat of butter
salt and pepper plus a drizzle or 2 of maggi sauce. I went outside and lit
the grill and put the foil package on the grill. That's when I remembered I
was thirsty and went back into the kitchen and rubbed granulated garlic,
onion powder, fresh ground black pepper and some chilli powder onto a prime
rib steak. I then went OH SHIT! and got some water to drink...Isn't getting
older fun. At least I'll eat well.

No I am sipping from a 24 oz mug of cold ice water sitting beside me as I
survey the melting of the snow that fell this morning. The snow and the
melting there of has prompted me to grill. I feel If everyone grilled
today, that it would be a sign to the gods of spring and maybe spring
would finally get here.

ps I'm scared to check the mailbox...I might find myself in a different
town or at the car wash.

Funny you should mention...the LA Times today (Sunday) had an article
that directly relates to this:

I saw elephant garlic for the first time the other day -- does it taste the
same? Just curious. Sounds wonderful the way you prepared it!

I will not use any garlic that is harvested with the use of elephant
slavery. Power to the Pachyderm, right on. All I am saying is give p's a
chance.

The elephants are probably making a killing. They're no fools!

So you are telling us that thirst is another symptom
of senile dementia?

It's milder and sweeter than regular garlic.

And they'd remember if they were thirsty, cause elephants have good
memories.

In the beginning there was nothing,
and God said 'Let there be light.' And
there was still nothing, but at least
you could see it.
