Hi Biddy!!!
I am so happy to be blogging again! I've been keeping a folder of pictures of our eating adventures over the last six months. I'm not going to go into great detail for each of them (I'll save that for the real-time updates to come!), but I wanted to give you an idea of what we have been eating! Let me know if you want more details/ideas about what we did. George is much better about remembering that we have a food blog and that we should take pictures. Thanks to him, we have lots of pictures.
I was reading back through our old blog entries (Remember when you were still living at home!?! It seems like so long ago!!), and in one of them you mentioned a tomato soup cake! Did you ever make it? I'm intrigued!
We shall begin with an entry about a George Emerson staple: Ox Tails. They look scary. They are super cheap. They are delicious (mostly because of a high fat content, but anyway... delicious)! We use Scott & Edna's recipe which calls for baking them in pre-sauteed carrots, herbs, and tomatoes. This is a stick-to-your-ribs recipe. We were eating it in early spring when it was still cold!

| Delicious!! |
 |
| And nutritious! |
 |
| As with most cooking in our kitchen, we start with lard! |
 |
| Contemplating the task at hand! |
 |
| First, you brown them! George's favorite kitchen implement is the tongs. |
 |
| Now, they are resting while we (and I mean George), make the sauce. |
 |
| Sauteeing the carrots and onions first. |
 |
| Tomatoes are added! |
 |
| It's ready for the oven! Of course, I'm always too hungry to remember to take a picture of the finished product. You'll have to use your imagination! |
