My son turned me onto raw, thinly sliced beef.  It is really good.

A couple years ago I stupidly ate a few raw shrimp, without even
thinking about the consequences. Vibrio, for one!  Nothing ended up
happening, but it was one the best tasting meats I have eaten.

You are right, rare beef is the best!!  Sear that baby over really,
really hot and crust the outside.......wow.  Philly style.  When Dad
died, I inherited his Big Green Egg.  I get that baby up to about 750F
and give thick steaks about two mins on each side then slam the vents
shut for another couple.   Orgasmic.

Chard is wunnerful stuff and you get a *lot* from the plants.  We
freeze like spinach, the extra.

You probably don't like pickled beets either.  Shame....after you eat
'em you can throw in hardboiled eggs and in a couple
weeks.......mmmmmmmm.

Hmmm.......just a suggestion....we started growing Chioggia beets, look
like a red and white bullseye.  The tops are excellant and the root is
different from red beets.  Cooks nearly white and is rather sweet and
lacks that typical beet earthyness, IMO.  I've had them shaved in
salads and they are good raw....again, IMO. ;-)

I've been reading recently about eating all sorts of greens, and it
seems that most overthing we eat main crop, the leaves are edible too.
I never even though about eating the rest of the plant, of say broccoli
and carrots and radishes. Michael Pollan started me thinking down this
path.

Good eats, and too many words ;-)
