Hmmm and Mmmm... I baked some marrow bones tonight, for the first time.

[Rabrrrrrr]

I recently bought this book:



http://www.amazon.com/Bones-Recipes-History-Jennifer-Mclagan/dp/0060585374/ref=pd_bbs_2/002-9454250-0608855?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1191458738&sr=1-2

And the bones on the cover looked so damn good, I just had to try to make my own!

They were pretty yummy - and the author suggests smearing the marrow on toast, which I didn't have, so I used whole wheat Ritz instead.

And though they were yummy, they are rich and very greasy. I have a little pool of oil on my plate now from the marrow.

Was it worth it? Oh, yeah!

I think serving this for guests as a first course would be a lot of fun.

I'm glad that I served them with a Vodka Martini - the alcohol is helping to cut through the fats.
