Sitting outside eating a bowl of kidneys watching the young twin deer I’ve seen five times today and I look up at the clouds and see Norm Peterson. Gotta say that I\u2019d\u2019ve preferred Magnum, P.I or Sam.<\/p>\n

Beef kidneys are one of my favorite things and I make them in gravy served over torn-up toasted rye bread. I used to use mashed potatoes but since I only make them when my boyfriend\u2019s away I gear down on the fancy meals. Another of my faves when he goes away is linguini with white clam sauce only I add mushrooms and artichoke hearts and escargot. He calls them snails. And tacos because they\u2019re so messy and oh yes, fried shrimp. Now he does like fried shrimp, but he eats so few and I eat so many that I\u2019d rather pig out alone.<\/p>\n

Alone. Now that\u2019s a strange word. It seems to mean lonely yet sometimes it can mean freedom. Freedom is strange in itself; its opposite could be as intensely restraining as shackled. Its societal opposite is oppression. Restriction, behavior, lawful, normal, expected.<\/p>\n

Alone and freedom. Twists of the mind and time. Today, alone and freedom gloriously mean I can sit here eating a bowl of beef kidneys and talk with Norm Peterson about words.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
