Cold steak with lots of salt prior to donating blood (maybe… if I pass the height/weight test!). Going to try to donate blood today for the first time since I was in university in the 70s. It didn’t go well back then, but I feel confident I will be okay now. Â However, they have…

Place two racks on the foil-covered cookie sheet; overlap racks, if necessary. Try not to puncture foil. Fold slices of bacon in half, end-to-end, to make “purses.” Put folded…
SautĂ©ed chicken livers and hearts, slow-cooked bacon “purses,” mashed parsnips with butter, Heinz chili sauce. This combination was DELICIOUS!
