Hurricane Harvey

My sincerest prayers go out the hurricane Harvey victims and their families. Most of us have stories of how we made it through that horrific, catastrophic storm. 

Remember Psalm 121:2-4, "My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep" (KJV).

We must press on and keep running the race. 
 
Please pray, one to another.

Well, here's my twist:

The ideal cut length is about two inches or so.  I was looking for something about the size of an oxtail, however, I settled for the first package that I saw at the grocery store where I was shopping.  The picture below is my first try, with the turkey necks being too long and stringy, however, they were still good.  For great results, get the right cut!  Believe it or not, they remind me of oxtails. The good news is they don’t have the fat that you get with oxtails.  I know there are some dire heart oxtail fans out there, and may find it hard to believe that the taste and flavor are similar. They are flavorful and affordable.  I made the choice to prepare them in my clay pot. You've probably heard me mention how much I enj...
