Time For More Homemade
Whenever possible I try to avoid fake stuff in food. And icky stuff. And overly processed stuff. And stuff that is so icky I can't even pronounce it. That was all so educated sounding of me. Yes, I was homeschooled ;)
Anyways, what I'm really trying to say is that I feel like every time I go to the grocery store to make a purchase I discover that the item I want to buy has all kinds of gross added things in it.

Like the other day I went to Kroger to buy beef broth / stock to use in a butternut squash stew I'm making for dinner. I read the label on all of the cans, bottles, and boxes of beef broth and every single brand had pure junk in them.
So I disgustedly left that aisle and walked straight over to the meat counter to ask the butcher what sort of bone-in beef I should purchase in order to make my own stock. He kindly pointed out just what I should buy.
I make homemade chicken broth and stock all the time to keep in the freezer, but for some reason I've never tried beef. It's fun to have new things to try!

This is actual rich and creamy buttermilk.
