Wordless Wednesday: Petrified? 

April 17, 2011

Just for fun today, no particular take-home message…
 
This should surprise no one, but we found some interesting rocks on Rockytop. One of them looks a lot like a Certified Angus Beef brand strip steak, except it has the wrong kind of marbling (stone).
And then there’s the short rib cut we found that is too heavy for Mosey to carry around and looks like it was hatched in the Jurassic Period. 
Picked clean — dinosaur baby back BBQ?

It is about 18 inches long, as seen here with the fake steak and a real cow rib Mosey dug up somewhere…..

Finally, for all our pork producer friends

(and we used to feed a few hundred pigs in the 1990s) we have our bacon rock.

What’s up in YOUR hills?
