Almost forgot to post this week so keeping it short and sweet here - we bought a quarter cow at Christmastime and it finally arrived. That’s roughly 100 lbs of beef in various cuts AKA a lot of meat to store, so I grabbed some plastic storage bins to organize the freezer (stew meat, grilling cuts, bone-in, etc) and already appreciate having them as we’ve started cooking up a few beef meals. You can find the full Quarter Cow blog post here.

I snoozed a bit over the weekend but have otherwise been sticking with my 5AM routine and even snuck into the sauna a few times. I’ve gotten some questions about our sauna and cold plunge set up too so I’ll be putting together another blog post on our “wellness side yard” soon!

Here are a few favorite videos and podcasts of the past week:
