Makes it all feel worth it
It's just feels so good when we get letters like this. I had to share this one:
Hi Owen & Kaycee
Hope the work on the farm is slowing down enough that you can enjoy the holidays!
and that you have happy holidays!
Thank you so much for growing such awesome beef! We split a share with my in-laws and are so completely satisfied with every meal we have had! It was our first time doing this - so we had some trepidation re: storage, overwhelming quantities, cooking with grass-fed beef (after encounter with snooty NYC steak-house waiter!) -- but its been amazing!
We started with a bang to celebrate an old friend's brief return for Cuba. This was a high pressure meal because beef is not available under the Cuban rations system! And it was stunning stroganoff!
Bear with us during this list-- these meals were so good; the beef so tender and delicious - it is worth repeating them!
1. A chuck steak cut into stew cubes for a stroganoff using a Tyler Florence recipe
2. Ground for thai lettuce wraps
3. Spaghetti bolognese
4. Most extraordinary porterhouse! - 4 minutes each side on charcoal grill (on freezing november night). I had just eaten at snooty steak house & this was so much better!
5. Shepards Pie with last of potatos from Roxbury Farm mashed on top
6. Chili with beans too.
We are trying to figure out a Christmas / New Year's roast. But thank you so much for all the work that went into growing this meat. We are enjoying every meal. Best wishes for a peaceful new year
