Smell

So, I was making stock out of that Buffalo soup bone yesterday right?  It was going so well too.  I would add more water every hour or so and check on it.  Then after it had been simmering for about 4 hours I stirred it and found this piece of meat/bone that looked like a hand.  Yep, you read that right.  It looked like a human hand.  TOTALLY creeped me out and grossed me out.  So I tried to bread it apart and went on my merry way.  (Trying to forget about the hand in the pot...)

Then a couple more hours passed and it was about done.  But when my husband got home from work I was just rather nauseated from the smell of the buffalo and the thought of the hand.  He assured me that it looked like it was ribs with part of the sternum...but that didn't help me.  So, he disposed of the stock and bones and I about died from the smell....we picked something up to eat and I will never again attempt to make stock out of a gamey animal.  Or possible any animal ever again.....

I guess that's what I get for a keen sense of smell and an overactive imagination?  :)
