Everywoman's Effective Elephant Eating

I mentioned before that I would talk about eating elephants. I think the term originally came from my mother in law to my husband but it came to ME via my husband. I often get myself into situations that seem endless. Many times each of us comes to a task in life that is too big to visualize an end to. There are those hopeless times that we have things we know we must do but can hardly even want to begin. Well those bad, hard, long times are when we must eat elephant. Dave did not elaborate as I do. He only advised me at the door of my complaint and lament by saying, "How do you eat an elephant?" The answer is: one bite at a time. Now as you know if you have looked at an elephant ever in your life that first of all they are not a very appetizing animal to think about eating but then neither are the things we have trouble getting into that seem endless and hopeless. Then once we actually get around to thinking about eating this beast how exactly shall it be prepared? I am a very culinary minded person so I think of those issues. OK - let's say we have it prepared. Of course we probably own a debt for the cost of the herbs and spices we would use but nevertheless let's say we got the thing cooked. Well, now how do we refrigerate the part we can't eat in one day? We can't exactly let the leftovers go bad before we get to them being we are eating this one bite at a time. Then of course I am not a person to eat things alone - I mean without side dishes and relishes. What goes good with elephant. Probably not anything as common as ketchup it just doesn't sound right. OK let's say we add some corn relish on the side and a little spinach salad for the iron. A person needs their strength for elelphant eating. Then what kind of beverage do we serve ourselves? Most likely milk - milk of magnesia maybe. Then we would want to eat some dessert and for elephant I would recommend pie - humble pie. All in all one just keeps eating and eating and eating until the elephant is tottally consumed. There are not a lot of ways to prepare leftover elephant and you wouldn't want to have any leftover anyway. Make sure to have a good steak knife because the skin is tough. If you do succeed in finishing elephant dishes make sure to ask someone else to do the dishes - in a large dishwasher.
