Rolling Acres - This and That

[RollingAcres]

And now some food pics to whet your appetite lol.
Here's a piece of chuck steak we took out for dinner after we brought the meat back from the butcher. It was delish (sorry forgot to take "cooked" pic). It's as big as my 9x13 pan!

Some homemade bread to go with broccoli cheddar soup.

Forgot to post that our Skyler girl turned one on 8/31! She got a treat for her birthday.

I just ate lunch so you didn't make me hungry.

There is nothing like home raised meat. Named, loved, cared for every day and someday it winds up on your plate. That is something that 99.9% of the people will never get.

Miss @RollingAcres,

I am so happy for you that raising the two cows has worked out for you! I know how hard you and DH have worked to get your place nice! As Miss @Baymule pointed out, there is nothing like home raised meat. (I'll have to take her word for it, as I have never raised any animals, to eat or otherwise, other than dogs and cats as pets. )

@Baymule I know you make chicken broth and can them. Do you use a pressure canner or hot water bath method? I don't have a pressure canner, I wonder if I can can the broth using the hot water bath method. I want to make some beef broth using our soup shank.
Does anyone have a good recipe to make broth?

I haven't tried it yet but I now have 3 chicken carcasses in the freezer and am going to try this one (or some variation depending on what veggies I have to toss in

I'm happy to toss this one if someone posts a tried and true here.

With DD1 back at school, I can make soup with stock that has REAL flavor

I use bone broth and 'better than bullion', add some fish sauce, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar and chili pepper water...YUM!
