A Little Tip for You

If you ever find yourself in possession of a dozen animals that you're planning on butchering yourself  (you know, in that alternate universe you sometimes inhabit--at least, that we inhabit), let me share with you an easy way to cut the bones for chops or whatever without killing yourself with a handheld meat saw.

Use a reciprocating saw.

Yup, the very same saw you might use to cut up boards.  A. read somewhere that that's how they cut up lambs in the Balkans.  I'm not sure that we should emulate all aspects of life in the Balkans, but that saw sure does work well.

Question...do you buy a new blade for the saw first and or do you just go ahead and use the same blade for all "projects" ? Just teasing. You guys rock, really! Beth
