( Jet lag hit me like a Pan-Galactic Gargle-Blaster, but thankfully I finally seem to be over it. )( I went back to Curves this morning for the first time in about three weeks. (Some comments about weight-loss) )On the ferry ride back from the Isle of Man, we had some Manx Broth for lunch and I've been wanting more ever since. However, I'm really not sure where to get a "scrag end of mutton" (or what it even is, for that matter) which is an ingredient from one of the recipes I've found – the other recipe calls for "a piece of shin beef" and a "marrow bone" (and I have no clue about those, either), so tomorrow we're planning to just make do with some homemade beef and barley soup (the cheater's method using some store-bought organic beef stock). We ran out to the one remaining Larry's store on the Eastside, down in Redmond, to get the beef at their butcher block... it just reminded me how much I miss having a Larry's Market nearby. It's so nice having people who actually know what they're doing when it comes to things like meat or seafood... and having fresh organically raised meats right at hand. Trader Joe's is good for a lot of stuff, but they do have a limited variety.
