2eclipseso this whole process creeps me out.
i could deal with unpackaging the chicken organs and even fed luther a couple of chicken livers (he loves them). less to freeze immediately that way. everything is all labeled and packaged in the freezer.
but this chicken carcass is creepy. something about the sound the bones make when the cleaver breaks them....and bone marrow has a distinctive smell.
the meat grinder works great, but it gives me the willies to think that bone is coming out of those little wholes in addition to the meat.
yuck.

Edit: man that's gross. there are some other recipes that include bone MEAL rather than grinding your own bone. i think that will be the next option. homemade cat food is GROSS. it doesn't look bad, kinda like ground meat with bits of broccoli in it (yes, a small amount is good for them because of the fiber), but the smell of bone marrow haunts me.

Date: 2007-02-09 11:10 pm (UTC)We had a mouse infestation in the fall. Brian's mighty hunter, Louie, preferred to watch as his scaredy-cat sister, the Defenestration of Prague, wreaked havoc on the mouse population of our residence. What did you expect from a cat named after an assassination attempt? Defie never ate any, though. I don't think. But she did like torturing them to death. And carrying them around.
I am also unemployed and home all day! And doing lots and lots of schoolwork as well. Perhaps I was a bit ambitious with the five classes. Perhaps. How's your paper going???
