Real snow...

[kinzel]

OK, a beautiful day in the neighborhood for real.

The sun is starting to break through the clouds as the snow moves out over the ocean; in my capacity as an official weather spotter I called in a 5 inch snowfall, finished at about 6:50 am, with calm conditions extending until 7:47 when the wind began to gust; now gusts are blowing the snow from trees and field making it harder to see than when it was coming from the sky.

Breakfast -- scrapple and waffles! -- is being served.

Scrapple is ok in the hands of a good cook. What, it's grits with pork/bacon bits, yes?

No, it's grits cooked in the water that pig bits were boiled in, then pressed into a solid, then cut into slabs and fried.

I know what is in scrapple, which is why I don't want to eat it.

I'm interested in people's reactions to scrapple. Raw fish with rice is fine, cooked leftovers of pork not fine. Have you ever had a hotdog, I wonder? Sausage of any kind? Bologna?

To my knowledge I've never gotten sick from scrapple... but my plan is to never eat raw fish again, because it has sickened me on multiple "Oh, you'll be OK, this place is great!" occasions.

Thing is, the cuts of meat (or scraps of meat if you prefer) that go into sausage, hot dogs (which are just another kind of sausage), and bologna (again, another kind of sausage), are at least a whole class of meat better than the scraps that are boiled ( and then removed to make dog food) in order to make the water for scrapple.
