Can I turn this science experiment into dinner??

We dissected some beef marrow bones today - now that we're done, I put them in a pot with water, onion and garlic. Is that right?

Now what do I do? Make it into beef stock?

Someone thrifty and culinary give me an idea!

(and it had better not involve eggplant! :D or hippos.)

my idea doesn't involve hippos!

Ok, so you get 4 gazelles and 1/4 rhino side and slowly simmer along with the stock, add in some carrots, onions and eggplant....

oh shoot you said no eggplant,

oh well, maybe someone else will have an idea

Depending on the size of the gazelles, sometimes 3 is enough.

Simmer with veggies of your choice, serve to the dog, and call dh to pick up pizza on his way home.

Sounds like the makings of beef stock! Do the bones have meat on them? If not, I would add veggies like celery, carrots, spinach, whatever you have on hand. This will add to the flavor. Put all in a pot and then add water just until covered. Simmer for about 3 hours. I would then either freeze the stock for later, make soup, or use in rice instead of water.

You could also freeze the bones and make stock when the weather is colder.
