The propane truck came just now and filled us up again. I put two huge chunks of beef leg bone (hind leg? can't tell when frozen) into the oven, smeared with barbecue sauce, to slow-roast in preparation for making beef stock tomorrow. (Huge means total weight over 10 pounds, maybe as much as 15 or so. They're in my biggest roasting pan, the 22 pound turkey pan) Right now they're covered in foil, for the thawing and slow-roasting part, but will be uncovered for at least half an hour later, to acquire a little brownness. If the cold front arrives as promised, it will be perfect weather for having the big pot on the stove all day and the next night. If I'd been really efficient, I'd have soaked beans last night and would've put on a pot of bean soup (with the T-day ham bone) on this morning, but I didn't.

Crayfish/crawfish/crawdads
I was afraid that we had lost our crayfish in the 5 year drought--they disappeared and did not return for well over a year when the drought ended.…
