Cow Crazy

It's funny how the strangest things in life can bring pleasure. I am so happy about the dead cow in my freezer. I just purchased a cow with Tonya, and Celeste(my mil). I bought half the cow and Tonya and Celeste split the other half. It was fun filling up my freezer with over 250 pounds of beef. I got ground beef, cubed steak, stew meat, London broils, chuck and shoulder roasts, sirloin tip roast, ribeyes, strips, fillet mignon, sirloins, the works. The meat is a black angus, grass fed, and mostly organic. They bring it out of the pasture 30-60 days before butchering and grain feed it to take away the gameness of the meat. I haven't tried any yet, but I'm sure it will be good, anyway I enjoyed putting it away. Another funny thing that brings me pleasure is grocery shopping, not because I love to shop, but because I love to come home and put groceries away. It thrills me to have a pantry full of food to cook, and the frig full of produce and cheese. I will admit that food is my idol.

We bought 1/2 a cow once. It was GREAT. The meat tasted better than most any I'd had. I also enjoy stocking my pantry. Same reasons as you...sigh.

Glad that things are going well with you guys.

Oh, and that was the SWEETEST thing Solomon said. I'll bet you just melted!!
