Tongue is seriously delicious. My father in law showed me how he does it and I was dumbfounded how easy it is.
Pre heat the oven to 400*. Stab the tongue a few times then loosely wrap it in foil making sure it won't open up while cooking. That part is key to keeping it moist. Cook for 4 hours unwrap and make a slice on the top part of the skin. Peel away the skin discard and chop into pieces. Place in a cast iron skillet and pour all the greasy juice from the foil in the skillet. Fry it a bit and serve hot.
I never add salt or anything. It has plenty of flavor all by itself and the tiny bit of salt from the salsa. I also never pull it apart only because I don't like shredded meats.
The knife is awesome. Best investment I've made to my kitchen.
My wife and I are big into paleo. We discovered it and got really into it last year while she was pregnant with our first kid. She was diagnosed with gestational diabetes so we made the change and we haven't looked back since. We are healthier and just feel all around better. We arn't very strict like others but we do our best to listen to our bodies when we "fall off the wagon" for a meal or three.

Very nice! Gonna have to try some tongue soon.
Re paleo: we are about 7 months into it and love it! I can't imagine living any other way.

Funny that I've only posted up dinners when breakfast is my favorite meal.
What are you guys cooking up in the morning before heading to work?
Today was sweet potatoes, bacon and pouched eggs. Spring greens and avocado to round it out.

Given the various tastes in the family, here is a typical morning.
Another one we like.
Most the time for me it's just eggs over easy, bacon and occasionally turnip hash browns.
We are wanting to try to vary it up more and get away from the traditional breakfast.

We are trying to increase our intake of fermented food. We haven't started making our own sauerkraut yet, so I found this at whole foods. Essentially just beets and ginger mixed in with the cabbage. It has too much ginger for my tastes but it was okay.
Also have some kombucha fermenting in the pantry.

That ceviche looks amazing!
You should get yourself some glass containers if you're heating that stuff up in a microwave. :yup:

Why are you increasing fermented foods? Just curious.
