My friend Jim recently waxed poetic about the filet mignon dinner for two he had at Flatbush Farm... complete with huge bones filled with bone marrow! My immediate question: what did you do with the bones? "They're in my fridge," he said. "Give them to me," I said, "I'll make beef broth and give you some." There's nothing like a good beef stock made from grass fed bovines!
So, he did, and I got out my 7-quart Dutch oven and cooked those bones in filtered water for a good 12 hours. I added some bay leaves and a few herbs, but basically, just let the bones continue to simmer until they were completely clean of all the marrow.
I skimmed the top and made about 5 quarts' worth--or at least twenty bucks' worth. Not bad for keeping the pantry going on a budget.
Not bad at all.

Moni - I am passing on a blog award to you and nine other bloggers who I admire. I don't know much about these award thingies, but when I received this one from another blogger, I figured out that I was to share seven things about myself and pass the award on to blogs that I read and love. So. I've talked about and linked to your blog on my latest post. Over to you, to do or don't as you wish!
