Butcher Box

Well, that quality is good assuming it gets to you before it bleeds through the box. First month, no real issues. Second month, it was toast before it left the Pittsburgh hub (last stop before my home). Reshipped arrived after five days of transit in a non climate control environment. Yeah, the porch still stinks to be honest. I got a refund n the most luke warm customer service apology ever. I'm going to cancel and either go with crowd cow or just shop simple truth meats at the grocery stores. I shouldn't have to pay for food for a month just about only to end up having to go shopping anyway.  So that's my review. It's probably more a FedEx issue but yeah, if this keeps screwing your customers and you stick with FedEx ground cause cheap then I'm onto something new. 

Second attempt bone broth

Aug 7 2020

This one was delicious.

Package of marrow bones, beef n package neck bones, pork

Roast on 450 degrees for 20 minutes

One whole shallot halved n peeled

One garlic knots halved (I didn't peel cause lazy)

Instapot with water (don't overfill like I did) n cook on soup setting for 120 minutes. Seems I can reuse the marrow bones btw. Money saved

After cooking and straining, add spices and salt to taste. I'm very limited so I used limited spices, decent amount salt n no carrot or celery. I heard parsnip adds flavor but I'm probably allergic to that too so I'm unlikely to try it.

Idk offhand how many cups I yielded bit I also overfilled n caused a mess when I quick released/ vented pressure. 

Chicken Liver

While I failed at bone broth n will try again, chicken liver was a bit.

I literally just sauteed bacon bits n sliced garlic in butter. I seasoned the prepped livers with cayenne, cinnamon, basil, parsley, oregano, marjoram, long juice, and liquid smoke. Then pan fried. The added balsamic vinegar and salt. Ate em plain just like that without sauce. 

By prepped livers, I mean cutting the white vein off chopping into bite sized pieces. 

And I HATE liver (cow) so if you do too but need the nutrition, this quick recipe may work for you.
