Ogh, you're so lucky.

We can't get ANY decent cut for under $10/lb.

My local butcher regularly has NY strip and T bones for
$8.30-$8.50 per lb. and his streaks are incredible

Our local butcher's stuff is cheaper than the supermarket, right now,
too, and it's fresh. Plus, it's only a 5 minute drive away and the
supermarket is a 15 minute ride. It's a little stinky in there - but
fresh cut bloody meat stinky, not rancid stinky like "The Dreaded Meat
Store" is. They also sell all kinds of seafood (but that's PRICEY)
and homemade sausage. It's not open on Sunday or Monday, though.
Hmmm, maybe we should go today?


Hmmmmmmmmmmmm, we had porterhouse steaks and frozen veges (force dunked
into boiling water). Power has been out for most of the afternoon/night.


Obviously back on now.........


Last night we had the same (blackouts)....... I fired up the Weber to
cook dinner.

Tonight I used the $50 BBQ sitting all forlorn and lonely out on the
deck, knowing that it's days are numbered. It gave us boiling water, and
it cooked the steaks medium rare. It can retire happy :-)

It's going to be replaced by a u-beaut stainless steel 4-6 burner with
all the bells and whistles!!
