How To Cook Ox Tongue In Slow Cooker

So I am very aware some of you are not venturous, so you get an amazing Beef tongue recipe with a mild insight into my life in case you don't want to make this. But I challenge each and everyone of you to try. I have shared this recipe with two different people who both made it and loved it, and they rarely eat beef, never mind tongue.

So get on and make the recipe and read my post :)

Wow so what a week it has been. It's funny the things you can learn about yourself and your body when you have been following a strictly Paleo Diet. It is absolutely amazing to me how vocal my body is when it does not like something I eat or ingest. What I am referring to today is last Sunday when I was diligently working on my Grilled Guacamole post sitting in the same coffee shop I am in right now.
