and...who doesn’t like rice and gravy?

Everyone else here but me. LOL Bunch of picky eaters. We do all like rice though and we have recipes for that. The kids prefer sauce on all meat. Either our homemade BBQ sauce or if beef, A-1.($$$) Butter and spices/herbs on veggies.

Our little rural grocery store doesn't always have everything from the ad in the store and sometimes they'll have things that aren't in the ad. They're supposed to have Tri-Tip this week but that's always a hit or miss. I'll make my decision when I go to the store I guess. The wife's working 3:30-7:30pm and will likely sleep til 1:00pm and won't want a big meal then so it will be a late dinner and up to me to cook, so whatever I feel like getting/cooking is what we'll have;) Everyone's got shrimp so maybe we'll have surf and turf.

Hah! Now I’m hungry! Luckily, the in-laws invited us over for Thanksgiving. All it’s costing us is several side dishes and an autumnal flower arrangement.

Whichever culinary direction you take...have a great one!

That sounds like our rural podunk grocery. It’s one step up from Venezuela with empty shelves or mustard down the entire aisle. Hardly anything from the ads and their excuse is either “the truck didn’t bring it” or “we’ve never carried that so you must not be reading our ad.” I’ve had to make what amounts to illegal drug deals or a hush-hush crooked nosed gangster mob deal in the back for frozen fish that was in the ads all month and have the cashier and bag boy where the heck I found it.

Zero celery for Thanksgiving and zero Karo syrup during Christmas. Haven’t stocked pork ‘n beans or cauliflower for 20 years. They pull every product that has a coupon. Who knows why?? 90% is what other stores refused to accept. Yep, welcome to VenezuTexas.
