Surprise package

[hrj]

So the package at the post office turns out to have been the whipping tops after all. I tried one out on the kitchen floor and found it a lot easier to work than I thought it would be. Cool. On the down side, I've tried several of the best butchers I know and haven't found a source of knucklebones yet. (They all say, "maybe in Chinatown", but we're upping the cost-benefit ratio at that point.) Between the one I picked up at the Beltane site and the two from The Sheep in the Attic, I could make do. But I'm not sure I want to risk something happening to bits and pieces of The Sheep in the Attic. (Hmm. It suddenly occurs to me that The Sheep in the Attic properly falls under the life-cleaning process. I really should find a good home for it.)

Try the butchers at poor people places. Who eats meat that has knucklebones in it? Poor people.

Or try Cosentino's. They have everything.

"The Sheep In the Attic"? Wouldn't that make a great title for a mystery novel...?

Er... you mean, you have an attic for a sheep to reside in?

The things you find out.....

I'm wondering if some of the Halal markets might have what you are after. There's one in Fremont that sells fresh goat meat - the dismembered carcas sits on ice in the store. I go in occasionally for Middle Eastern ingredients.
