Cinnamon

 

Hi Natty!  Oh, you're back in Paris?  The news said that show was 2 days ago, so you might still be there.  How are they treating you?  Please make sure they treat you with respect.  You look positively marvelous, of course.  You are so beautiful.  I love you with all of my heart.

Well, it's time to make another batch of roast beef.  I usually make it once a month, snip it up into portions then freeze it.  I defrost it by the portion whenever I need a dose of animal flesh to keep the left shoulder pain away.  This time I roasted the beef with cinnamon.  Actually the cinnamon was part of a spice pack for beef bone soup, but the cinnamon was clearly the strongest member of the team today.  I used to make spaghetti sauce with a cinnamon stick in it all the time when I was younger.  Back in those days, I used to experiment with many different spaghetti sauces (my favorite one was the tomato/strawberry sauce!), but a cinnamon stick was always a part of the sauce.  I've stopped doing that but today, I thought maybe some cinnamon would make a difference in my routine.  It smelled great but flavor wise, it didn't make much difference.  The beef is all packed into the freezer now, and I'm using the drippings to make a batch of beans.  Do you like beans, Natty?  I think you may like my beans.  They're sweet without sugar.
