Ever since I got quail, this has been the recipe that’s been on my mind. They finally started laying and they’re redeeming themselves. Everyone in my house LOVE jammy ramen eggs, even as a side snack or on top of rice. What better way to …
My local butcher usually has frozen cut beef bones in their freezer section. At about $3 for 5lbs of it, I couldn’t help but pick some up. The trick to making ultra decadent roasted bone marrow is to not allow the fat to be rendered …
