  FIERCE WINDS COLD RAIN DOG PARK VISITS AS BRIEF AS COOPER AND I CAN ENDURE

Veal Marrow Stew? IFFY Veal marrow soup? = STEW TRANSFORMED

Image
  Yesterday I bought (raw) Veal Bones for Cooper.    He was not pleased. He had to wait until today when I was able to get Beef Fema bone chunks, from which he delights\ed to use his tongue to extract the marrow As for the veal bones,  I simmered them to make stock for beef stew. Such rich flavour, with  Okra, Mushrooms, Potatoes, Stock. All rich with marrow made from Veal Bones}. Stewing beef, and  Corn for colour,. It's hard to tenderise stewing beef.  The taste is great but the meat is chewy. Tomorrow I'll blend the whole to create a flavour rich soup

Cooper retrieved one of the dead bones before I'd had chance to put it in the garbage

Dem Bones not Mine

Cooper loves  femur bone treats   They are cut into 3inch  to  5 inch lengths at our local premier butcher's store Once at home Cooper devotes the attention of a poker player as he rids the a bone of a trace of marrow - his undivided focus like that of a Poker Player.  Then he hides the hollowed bones under his floor bed. All well and good unless jmp should tread on one.  Then comes retrieval time for my safety.  No slips or falls  

Great work by Infinity/Comcast.

  My access to the internet went dead on Thursday.  Try as I could (following technical suggestions) I could not set matters right) On Friday morning I called the Comcast help line.  HELP WAS THE WORD   YES YES  The technician on line was utterly cool.  She ran various tests which revealed that the input signal was utterly weak. It was my lucky day. She told me that an in home service call would be possible within the next ninety minutes.   As it happens the techies arrived at my home within the hour.   They worked for forty minutes or so and set things right.  A new modem did the trick SERVICE WITH A SMILE ON THE 'PHONE,  AND IN MY HOME OLE TIME!
