No More Trottin'

Oh...boo hoo. My all you can eat place where I can get my fix on pig's feet has closed. So, what (where now)? Sigh. I may have to resort to making it. Which means I need to find a recipe. I should be able to find one off the internet. I had one years and years ago but lost it somewhere. It does not have many ingredients (trotters, of course; black vinegar, ginger, etc.) and should be fairly easy to make but, c'mon now, I am not a cook. Not in the blood. Rats, rats, rats. It was just so much easier just to head over to the buffet but times are so bad. I have watched many places close and even just as many struggling.

Even at the big major stores. I was at Nordstrom's the other day and the salespeople were trying even harder to get a sale. Nordie's has always been great for customer service but I can see the desperation in their mannerisms.

I ran into one of the ladies who works at the mani/pedi place. She tells me she works ten hours a day every day of the week. She is a single mom with two small children and an ailing mom. When I hear of things like this it just make me cry. We all have been struggling and wanting to help but being bound by my own struggles is so frustrating. But we all have to keep the faith...
