And today\’s special is…

You’ve probably heard the joke about the kindergarten teacher announcing to her pupils, “Today is Groundhog Day”. One kid turned to a classmate and said, “Am I glad I brought my lunch today!”

All joking aside, if you don’t object to eating meat,  how about making a dish using ground pork to celebrate February 2? After all, where does pork come from? A pig, aka hog. Thus, ground hog.

I\’v never liked handling raw meat, poultry, or fish; but I’m quite sure you could use ground pork for any dish that usually uses ground beef. Meatballs, for instance. Or meatloaf. Maybe a sauce for pasta? Some kind soup?

Now, who’s in the kitchen? Not Punxsutawney Phil, I’ll wager. He’s too busy making his annual forecast; and I\’m too lazy to bother with today\’s special. I just cook whatever I\’m in the mood for.
