The affair continues apace

This past weekend, two of my sisters came into town, and we went out to dinner in Park Slope. That's right, I actually hauled my chunky ass out to Brooklyn. It was a cute little restaurant called Blue Ribbon. I saw marrow with ox tail marmalade on the menu, and of course had to order. Here I am looking at it adoringly. The ox tail was yummy, too. One of the bones was slightly overcooked, and in my marrow extracting talent, was able to yank out THE WHOLE THING with one pull without breaking it. So yummy.

Anyhoo...if you ever find yourself in Park Slope (whether voluntarily or not) and need sustenance, try our Blue Ribbon. For realz.

Happy Tummy

Yes, I know it's after sundown, and I'm being naughty for using a computer, but I wanted to share with you my marrow bones. I had posted a few days ago about how much I was craving bone marrow, so tonight, on Yom Kippur eve, I made it. SOOOO YUMMY.

First, I gave the bones an overnight water bath in the fridge, changing the water once.

Next, I laid out the bones on a foil-lined sheet and waited for the oven to reach 450.

I put parbaked sourdough rolls on another sheet to bake alongside the bones.

While the bones and bread were cooking, I sauteed in olive oil a shallot and one clove of garlic with lemon juice to spread on the bread.

This is the oil when done.

And here's the finished product. It was sooooo yummy, even though BF was too scared to try it. I admit, it's not for everyone, but right now my tummy is so happy.

Now, no more eating till tomorrow night. G-d will forgive this blog post, I'm sure.

Monday Afternoon Craving

I have been craving marrow bones for DAAAAAYYYYYYYYS. I just gotta get off my lazy ass and haul off to Bob the Butcher to pick up a bag. Maybe this coming weekend.
