Nova Scotia, east coast of Canada. It wasnāt as bad as they forecast, only got about 9 inches and the winds didnāt get too much.
Storm soup was good though, even without the storm

Looks like we devoured the beef tongue, beef tongue is a great piece of meat you just have to know how to cook itā¦I put mine in my crock pot for a few hrs., then take the outer membrane off and sliceā¦beef tongue is delish folks.

A real favorite of our family when I was child, but my mom never fancied it up like that. I mean, it got slicedā¦

Beef tongue is an underrated meat and it used to be cheap but nowadays it cost $40, back in the day it was less than $15ā¦

Did you pour a couple of ounces of beer in there, snap the lid shut, and take it home to the heat mat?

This is an afternoon snack. I had plain yogurt and granola for breakfast but didnāt think it warranted a picture. You all know what that looks like. Yeah, I hear you saying, I know what a fucking Thomasā English muffin looks like too, dude. Even one with butter on it. WTF?!
What Iām really interested in is to know if you are a hard or soft butter person? Does your butter live in the weird little warm box in the big cold box in your kitchen or does your butter live perhaps on the countertop or in a cabinet?
I prefer butter thatās cold and hard (much like my heart but for different reasons). It slices thinner, and I like to have at least most of the entire surface area of whatever Iām buttering to be literally covered. I donāt, however, like being wasteful, so I have to work quickly. I have an ideal slice in mind which I have never and will never achieve. One of the ways to tell if a hand wood plane is sharp is to take a nice thin shaving and see if you can read through it. Other woodworkers will tell you this is a real thing. Iāve been able to read through plenty of plane shavings, but never a butter shaving! 
I believe most people, not just here, are soft butter people. What about you?
Thanks for playing, my friends!

Bothā depends on what it is onā¦ some items need a thin layer or hard cold butterā¦others need a schmearā¦ and OTHERS (toast and english muffins) I totally melt it an dip them to coatā¦ ESPECIALLY if adding Jam or peanut/cashew/sunflower butter!

Used to be that, beef tongue and heart were āgarbage itemsā you could get on the cheap at the butcherā¦nowā¦ tongue is more expensive than steak and you canāt get hearts at allā¦
When they get tongue here- lucky to get one for under $30
IMO- one of the BEST cuts IF you know how to prepare it- same with heart.
