Grady and I worked with Ethan Kelly the summer we interned at Polyface.  He was known for using a thickness of butter that equaled that of the bread.  After seeing what Ralph does with butter we think we probably should have named him Ethan.  We are glad he enjoys butter so much.  We believe it … Read the Rest

Recently Sheri loaned me a copy of Deborah Krasner’s Good Meat. I keep joking with her that I may never give it back, because it provides loads of inspiring recipes and has been expanding my knowledge of how to cook grass-fed meats.
