looks like a great day to be Shio!

it’s been raining all week up here in boston. hopefully we can let kaiju out to run this weekend.

i’d like to try giving marrow bone to kaiju. is that something i can just get bone from a butcher?

Yup… If you are a bit worried, you can flash boil the bone first (i.e. put it in boiling water for 2 / 3 minutes so it is not completely raw) — we did that in the beginning to ease Shio into eating the fully raw bone. Also, for bigger bones with a lot of marrow in it, we use a spoon to scope out some of the marrow because it is too rich for Shio. Good luck! Kaiju will love it I am sure!!
