a very comfortable 62 degrees going up to 82 today, in clouds and likely some thunderstorms this afternoon.
So....off this morning to see what's going on at the country club, big golf weekend which is of zero interest to me, just curious as a newbie what's going on there. Then I head North on the same road to Edenton where after the parade gets through town I'm going to find their high school where the tractor meet is:
Upcoming June Events - Visit Edenton - Chowan County - North Carolina.
Not going to be able to do a huge amount of walking with my right foot just zapped for a plantar's wart. (yes that nitrogen does make one's eyes water after they hold it on for awhile...)
But my camera trigger finger will work just fine.
I pass the local butcher shop on the way
Request Rejected
where I learned every conceivable way of using/eating a pig. So much of this stuff looked
seriously unhealthy. Not quite like Larro's or Don's careful meal planning at all...
Of course even our local Food Lion has pickled pigs feet, tails, etc.
enough to make one a vegan...
I might stop there on the way home and see if they have any deals. The last time I went I caught the tail end of strip steak sale for 7 dollars a pound, and it was prime for sure. I bought a dozen, and carefully froze most. I listened to the butcher's advice to get every last bit of air out of the wrap. The local supermarkets just don't stock this top end meat but then I don't want to pay for it anyway. I'm seriously cheap when it comes to meat. Over 5 bucks a pound, it had better be mighty enticing... I can afford it, I just refuse to spend it. I guess that defines cheap, who knows. We all set lines in the sand like this, in our own ways.
Of all the beef products, isn't a relatively lean steak the "healthiest" to eat and get protein?
I eat beef perhaps once a week, sometimes every two weeks. Mostly chicken and pork otherwise.
No scrapple for me...
Boneless chicken breasts, frozen, are still at 1.99 on sale, almost a permanent sale. Seems unfair the chicken farmers get so little for their product so I guess you have to do seriously big numbers to make it work. Can you imagine having an equivalent 50,000 cattle? considering what hamburger costs we should be paying at least 2.50 for chicken.
Perhaps there is more cost in raising each pound of beef vs chicken. I'm plenty old enough to know when beef was much, much less expensive.
but I surely digress. Have a great weekend.
