We still do. Bones from chicken and turkey are easy (we put the chicken bones in a freezer container until we have enough to make a potful), but for cow bones, we now only get organic ones, to reduce the chance of prions (which cause KJD in humans/mad-cow in cows) and any other bad "stuff" from today's large-scale cattle techniques. Same for any bones for the pups, these days, since non-organic have an extremely high chance of having e-coli and/or salmonella.

Our local butchers used to just give the bones away - now, you have to pay thru the nose for them. We do have one restaurant that will give you the really big bones for your dog, if you ask nicely, tho.

Makes much better broth than those cubes. Roasting the bones give them better flavor, too, IMO.

Since I have never tried 30 minute cooking, I grabbed the book. If it isn't good, you owe me.

Are you sure that you're just "slightly" off? ha

I'd be more skeptical about finishing a recipe in 30 minutes' time than the book of Rachael Ray's recipes not being any good. I haven't looked inside the book, but I looked over the free soup & sammie recipe. I don't see how anyone could complete that dish in 30 minutes if they have to take the ingredients out of the frig or wherever, chop the necessary ingredients, measure things, cook the ingredients, etc. etc. I bought the book, but I didn't buy it in the belief that I would be able actually to prepare any of the recipes therein within 30 minutes!

Just like when a recipe or author says caramelizing onions takes twenty minutes. Maybe if your using a blast furnace.

Or you can cook bone in chicken in 8 minutes in a deep fryer.
This is why I do not eat fast food chicken. Cannot guarantee the doneness.

Oh and if I wanted to make a hamburger today, I would need several hours. Thaw time.

stir-fry ?

Try one of the "Cooking from scratch in the microwave" books I post from time to time.

Also "30 minutes prep, cook for 6 hours" of course.

I have been grinding my own hamburger meat. It all started when I found out that there could be the dna from more than 400 steers in one pound of ground beef.
Sometimes I grind chuck into burgers. Most of the time I like a combination of sirloin flap meat and beef short ribs.

You mean you have to heat the onions up? That's what I've been doing wrong! I was just melting some Kraft caramels and dipping those onions in it!

And you wondered about me.
I thought you were supposed to use Brach's caramels.

I've never said that I was "slightly" off. I've always admitted to being certifiable. hahahahah
