Thanks. Now I remember that she did simmer the innards. The cat got them, and the broth went into the gravy.
Once a year when we had a turkey we would cook the innards for gravy. Our dear cat who lived to be 19, Sadie, would know when the innards were cooled she would come in the kitchen and beg for the heart and liver. She never came in the kitchen otherwise and was not a beggar. She ate those two pieces with gusto, talking and grilling with her mouth full. Thanks for the memory. Happy Easter to all. We always have lamb at Easter. Just the 2 of us so it’s 2 roasted lamb shanks this year.
