Adventures in bone marrow..

What do you do with a surplus bone marrow?

I decided to saute mushrooms in it for breakfast..... which was a moment whos time has come...

I think I had a foodgasam...

Let the marrow melt and come to temp while you slice enough mushrooms to cover the skillet without crowding... when the temp is right....let the saute begin..

I turn the mushrooms individually... because its the best way to get them all the same color..

At the end when the fungi are brown, the seasoning begins... a couple of cranks on the pepper mill.. a fat pinch of thyme...and salt to taste at the last second...

I have a cookie tin thats used as a bread box... the tin is round.. the bread is round... so it makes sense.. the bread got tossed on the burner and breakfast was served.. no cumin for a change.. it wouldnt have hurt though...

That being said..

I have a new culinary secret weapon..  nobody uses marrow bones for much except for dog gnaw thingies.. which is stupid because marrow goes back a long way...cave men cracked mastodon and buffalo bones for it... the medieval types had long spoons and picks to get it...
