Green with envy over the steaks. Our local butcher has good beef but 18.00 a pound for a ribeye is just out of our budget right now. You are blessed to have raised your own.
We agree! And now that we’ve found a neighbor that raises pork, we’ll be set as soon as I start raising meat chickens. I want to get my current egg-laying ‘girls’ up and producing, first.
There was a gap of a few years there when I wasn’t raising my own meat and didn’t have chickens, but Beau has raised meat animals since childhood, so he’s been a great teacher. He’s totally in LOVE with the baby chicks so far. :)
Ask me about the ‘Spaghetti Squash Growing in the Lawn Year’ some day. It was BEFORE I was living here permanently. Beau is not allowed to grow Spaghetti Squash anymore. ;)
Do you have a Costco near you? At ours, we can get get PRIME ribeyes, about 2” thick, for $15 or $16 a pound. We can split one of those and have leftovers sometimes. Every now and again we splurge on those for a special meal.
