robin's dad is 86 today. so what do you give a man who has lived through wars, inventions and the kidnapping of the lindbergh baby? his favorite meal, of course. his happens to be pig stomach (also known as hog mal to the locals). somehow the pictures got reversed. it's not as gross as it sounds. you stuff a clean pig stomach with diced potatoes and sausage and bake it. it gives the stuffing a bacon-y flavor. no one else but john eats the actual skin (it gets crusty like bacon when baked). but i can't eat it if i'm the one making it (yes those are my hands, and yes, barb, they do look like my mom's. oh dear....). there are very good reasons why i was a vegetarian and still don't eat much meat....
ah...the things you do for love. happy 86th birthday, dad ruhl. i'm so glad we were here to celebrate this year.
