How to make sense of a tragedy with Cathy Rentzenbrink & Dr Suzanne O?Sullivan


Recommended Posts

How do we make sense of heartache? Cathy Rentzenbrink and Dr Suzanne O?Sullivan will discuss learning to deal with heartache, grief and loss. They?ll explore how to cope with life at its most difficult and how that suffering may change us forever but we can emerge filled with hope.

In A Manual for Heartache she describes how she learnt to live with grief and loss and find joy in the world again.

    • Please understand that I am not doubting the word of anyone who has posted here with problems with bought-in prepared meat, but (I am old) uncooked meat (perfectly 'good' meat) does smell often, we are too used to shrink wrapped and chilled supermarket meat which can be almost scent free - so we are surprised when 'butcher's' meat does smell (and often, if it is uncooked, quite strongly). Indeed game which is high can smell quite strongly, and not in a good way to our 21st C sensibilities, without being off - as in food poisoning off. Certainly prepared meat, when cooked, should smell enticing, and not at all bad - so the experiences quoted above are certainly very worrying - but younger people reading this should not be concerned, particularly, if fresh (raw) meat they have bought from e.g. a proper butchers has a smell to it. Which is not to say that something which smells rank shouldn't be a point of complaint. Even the smell of high-ish game, if left unwrapped, should dissipate once unwrapped. If it increases however it may be  cause for concern. But raw beef or lamb in the joint can often smell of something which isn't necessarily particularly nice, without it being worrying. It will tend to cook with more flavour.
