I had no idea about *sous vide*, looks pretty cool and I think we will take your suggestions. :) Thanks!

I’m pretty redneck and so salt licks, hot oil and fire are my usual. ;p

“Meat came from white butcher paper wrapped packages in the basement chest freezer.”

As God intended! :)

Another great thing about it is that there is a huge window in which you can pull the stuff out of the sous vide process, like a couple hours.

Can’t say I blame her. We’ve now got a situation where I may be able to find that guy and go that route.

Feel free to hit me with questions after you’ve done some reading, I’ve been doing it for a few years now.

That was a good one. I’d better brush up on my grammar skills after leaving out an important noun like that, lol.

Kroger isn’t much better where I live 30 miles outside Phoenix.

Shhhh! He thinks the slaughterhouse IS a ‘spa.’ Let the poor guy live in ignorance and enjoy his oats.

Wish someone would do the same for me these days! The oats and ignorance part - NOT the ‘spa!’ :)

Thanks, thanks, thanks. I’d forgotten about that. Putting that on the inside of a cabinet door so it won’t be forgotten.

My grandparents had 600 rolls of tp and 300 rolls of paper towels stored away back through all my growing up years. We used to laugh but now we see their wisdom.

No, I’m nowhere near that number.

When we were over there back in the 70s, they were grumbling about having toothpaste but no tooth brushes. Apparently the government made lists of what products were to be made every year but if something was left off, well, too bad.

Crazy shopping there, too. It’s not like tooth brushes and toothpaste would be in the same shop. That would make too
much sense. A shop might sell toothpaste and boots and several blocks away you’d finally find toothbrushes sold along side sewing machines.

One lady in our group broke her shoe heal so tossed the shoes in the garbage but a hotel employee personally delivered them to her next destination.

Folding the tp uses less than wading it up.

You have to calculate the unit price because too many times the shelf unit price tag is wrong.

Folding the tp uses less than making big wads. Limit them to one roll per week. If they use it up sooner, they’ve learned a most valuable lesson.

Package downsizing started BIG TIME under Jimmah Carter and his stagflation crap...

The reason this feels different is the folks trying to destabilize the country are getting help from commies who have used starvation as a tactic almost from the start...

I bought a package of Brach’s Halloween candy this week and was astounded how small the bag was.

Blue Bell ice cream, produced down the road which should be cheaper to transport, is $6.97 at Walmart. Our Walmart through the whole covid mess had just vanilla but now it’s also carrying Butter Pecan. That’s just down right ridiculous.

A few blocks away at HEB, they have nearly 20 flavors. Why the supply difference? The price there is 80 cents cheaper on the regular stuff but the low sugar (which used to all be the same price) is $7.18. That’s gone way past ridiculous to insulting.
