Thanks to some advice to look at food mills, i found that the gadget i remember my mother having was a meat grinder. I found a well recommended brand, Porkert, on eBay and i've bid. I think the food mills would be for a more refined sort of food preparation than i'll ever manage. (I paid for that potato skin, it's going into the mash!) The grinder should work with chickpeas and bean sprouts: i'm curious about using it on the veggies i would put into my veatloaf.

I begin to get tempted to look for sausage casings to just make veggie sausage.

In logging news, i am generally feeling better than Tuesday and Wednesday. Christine had the sleepy on Thursday. Work was intense and stressful on Thursday, and then as i was leaving work, i realized Christine and i had a dinner date. I called Christine, who was waking up, and we joined the new arrival to CA in downtown Mountain View at the same time.

We ate, meandered in the used bookstore, and came home, where i went to sleep promptly.

I made it to the 6 am call, which was quite short, and then had to schedule a 7 am call, which was also short.

I feel i've screwed up, on one hand, but also feel that AGAIN the lack of someone other than myself to pay attention to system-wide details is costing us dearly. Why do i have to keep track of everyone's details? Why do i have to hound people?
