Party Patties

Our beautiful church at St. John the Baptist in Buffalo celebrates its 75th anniversary this year. Though the Catholic Church has been present in the Johnson County area for 145 years, we still think this milestone is worthy of a celebration. So on June 24th, the feast of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist, we are going to throw a parish party. 

To do so, we decided to slaughter the fatten cow. Jim Borgialli graciously donated this open cow to our cause. Because this is a solely charitble cause with no money exchanged at all, I volunteered to turn her into hamburger patties. 

So on a Thursday afternoon, we sent her from hoof to rail. Thank you for your service and sacrifice, sister. 

Then on Friday, Darin came over and taught me some hamburgering tricks. 

By noon, we had her all boned out. So we decided to grill up some tenderloins for the boys. 

Then back to grinding. We put a second fine grind on the burger before we started pounding out patties. 1/3rd pounders. 

575 burgers total. 

Good stuff. It's fun to cut a little beef again, especially when it's for a good cause. I'm not sure how many people are going to show up for our anniversary party. But for those that come, we'll have a hamburger ready for them to enjoy. 75 years is something to celebrate. And not only is St. John the Baptist still around, she is going strong! Special thanks to Jim and Darin their effort and contributions. This party is off to a good start. Let's ranch.
