==================
So we went off provisioning at Fred Meyer, where we
got an assortment of ribeyes (one sirloin strip,
because the label said ribeye and Lilli couldn't tell
the difference), plus a nice thick cut of top round
for sashimi for me. Also some corn and a potato for
Lilli. Also some MGD (the cheapest beer I'll drink, and
the fanciest beer Bill will drink).

Ribeyes medium-rare, pretty good though I suspect
they were select rather than choice and not so
marbled as one would hope. Okay flavor. The top
round could hardly be said to be meat - it had no
taste at all and no texture except where one hit a
vein of gristle. I decided to make stew out of it.

Next day, I made stew, which was a qualified disaster.
I decided to carbonnades it, so used some of that MGD,
which you don't think of as a hoppy beer. Well, it has
too much hops for carbonnades, especially when you burn
the only onion in the house because of an emergency
trip to the bathroom. I'll eat it, but I'm glad there's
that sirloin strip left, plus some ribeye.

The rest of the day: snooze, cough, bathroom, repeat ad
nauseam. Tomorrow: first class on United, whence I get
to infect California (not really, according to the all-
wisdom all the time Internet, I should have stopped
being contagious yesterday).

Taste of the day:

Vitamin Water Power-C dragonfruit - the good thing one
can say is that it doesn't have HFCS but rather plain
old fructose and sucrose. And it does reconstruct the
flavor of dragonfruit, that's to say, a mild fruitiness
that sort of disappears on your palate in a second or
two. The typical starchiness of the fruit is absent,
however. It contains 25 mg of taurine per bottle, whatever
that means. People pay money for this sort of thing? I
suppose that if one hears that someone won an Olympic
medal under the influence of Vitamin Water with taurine,
that might be an incentive, but on the label of this there
is some of course unrecognizable rap or hip-hop artist
(generic or famous to others, who knows).
