My perpetual broth is finally done for after 11 days.

So I took the bones out and was able to scrape quite a bit of marrow out. Someone with a vitamix/blendtec...I hope you make beef broth soon and try to blend the bones. I'm curious if it would work. Mine were still quite hard afterwards, although one of the thinner ones broke right up I smashed the chunks as much as I could with a spoon and then added a bit of milk and some broth and used my hand blender to smooth it out. I froze 6 cubes of it and used the dregs from blending to make banana/pear/buttermilk popsicles. I'm usually reluctant to try things that I know I've hidden things in but I stuck my finger in it and you could honestly not even tell there was bones in it, or buttermilk (which I also hate). Next time I'll try more bones and unflavoured broth.

Then I used some broth and cooked carrots/spinach/lima beans (an accidental purchase by my dh ) in it and then used my hand blender to make gravy. YUM!!!!!!! Thabks for that tip. It is fantastic!!!!!!
