Hello, and welcome to the Meat House blog. This is all about food. More specificallly, all about meat. If you do not like meat, or choose not to eat it, for whatever reason, then this might not be the best place for you.

We joked how cool it would be to actually go through and cook every single recipe in the book (note: I fully realize that this is not an original idea, it has been done before, and, yes, i know they even made a movie about one person doing it). Then the thought was voiced, "Why not?" and here we are...
