Where's the Beef?

We visited the meat department at Smiths. I think the kids were a little uneasy knowing that the meat was from the wonderful cows that we have recently learned to love. That night we ate some nice BBQ'd New York Steak. Poor cows.

An inquiry science experiment. Learning about refrigeration and what will happen if it is not kept cold. It's been 2 days and their isn't much difference besides one is a little squishy. That's what I get for using an over processed product.

Owen doesn't look to happy to see cows all chopped up like that. Hopefully he still liked his dinner! That is so funny that visiting the meat section is a field trip for you guys!

We did that activity next at Harmon's (nah nah nah nah nah), but Alexander wasn't too interested in hearing the butcher talk. He was more interested in making the ground beef we bought into Grandma Jeannine's famous meatballs. Unfortunately I'm not a very good cook and they didn't turn out too good.

One time we tried to made the meatballs in the crockpot. The weight of the meat just smooshed into one big meat spread. We've only made the meatballs (in the frying pan) a couple of times because they are so much work!
