I got me some COW!

Here’s how the story started. My good friend Brenda (aka Sassy) is a farm girl…she grew up on a farm in Iowa with 3 brothers…so needless to say, she is somewhat tom-boyish. I call Sassy my beer-drinkin’-friend. She is honest, a great listener and can always see a situation from a different angle than me…and that is what I love about her. Anyway, last year in the last few weeks of my mil’s life, we had people bringing us food ALL the time. One day Sassy called and said she was planning on bringing tacos over for everyone that night. I kindly informed her that we had tacos on Tuesday (remember Taco Tuesdays?) and we wouldn’t want to eat tacos again that week. She insisted on bringing something, so what she did was bring us a big tub of already cooked grounded beef to use for chili, tacos (some other night) or whatever we wanted to use it for. It was perfect. We ended up making chili with some and then used the rest later the next week for tacos. Okay here is my point…..after tasting the difference between my usual beef and the real cow beef….I was hooked.

I immediately called Sassy and left her a rambling message (imagine that) that went something like this….”Hey girlie…thanks so much for the beef…and how do I get me some of that cow?” Of course her husband got the original message was cracking up at my comment.

Well yesterday, Sassy delivered me some COW…..83 pounds of hamburger, 10-12 packages of steaks, 10-12 packages of roasts, 10-12 packages of stuff I really don’t know how to use…. Look out Google, I have a new project on my hands….How to cook “such & such” kind of meat.

My freezer in the garage is full….and that was only a ¼ of the COW…..WOW! Can anyone say “It’s time to grill!”
