Ages ago it seems that I started trying to be more aware of where most, if not all, my food comes from. If I can make it from scratch, I do. I buy from local ranches instead of grocery stores. I grow as much of my own food as possible. I cure, dehydrate, pickle or can what I’m able to. I try to let as little waste go as possible. Do I fail, yes. Sometimes you just want something quick, and you run to the store and that’s ok. Not long ago I put a pole out on what I should make Dusty for dinner for being the amazing partner that he is. Corned Beef it was. This is where the rabbit hole started. Corned Beef is just cured meat of some sort, right? OK, had no idea it was brisket. I already know what that is yay. I ran to WinCo and grabbed myself a 15-pound slab and brought it home. My next beef pack from the local butchers will have a couple of these on my list moving forward.
