At my local market:

St Louis Ribs with 18% solution of (stuff) and rub. Ready for the grill.

$5.49/#, too.

Unfortunately, the will probably sell them all. That will drive the
price of spares up so I'll be looking for possums and raccoons to feed
my smoker.

Matthew (NY strip steaks were $4.99, Guess what I'm having tonight)

Lurker but I have to chime in hear.

I know what you mean. I went to Food Lion, Ukrops (local Richmond, Va.
chain) and Kroger yesterday looking for butts. All locations had at least
a 12% brine solution and most were Smithfield lean crap. I don't want
mushy, mealy BBQ.

I was eating the same NY strips that you bought!

I feel VERY lucky here in South Jersey (as much as one can living in South
Jersey). We have Haines Pork Store, a little shack behind a house in
Mickleton, New Jersey. Haines was started in 1865 by the present owner's
great-great-grandmother. They never advertise. Folks know them by word of
mouth. They are difficult to find in the phone book, and their listing is a
tiny: Haines Pork Store (856)423-1192.

Haines sells pork and only pork -- Amish raised and fresh. They'll cut
anything you like from whole hog down to bacon. They make their own sausage
and scrapple (without pig faces and coon poop). A slab of spares will cost
you around $2.00 a pound, baby-backs not that much more. He'll cut up a
whole hog for you, sausage, scrapple, and all, for around $1.60 a pound.
The owner Jerry Haines is a nice folksy kind of guy, who'll sit and have a
conversation with you at the counter if you engage him (sometimes when the
customers are lined up to the door). But you expect that at Haines, and no
one seems to mind.

My wife and I have often considered moving (it IS New Jersey after all).
But believe it or not, we actually factor Haines into our decision when
having our discussions.

No connection, just one SATISFIED customer...

Just moving to Richmond, I have found a distinct lack of butchers in
the area. Nothing like the PA dutch country I moved from.

I did find a full brisket at wally world that was just a brisket,
nothing added for $1.89/lb

Your right Buddha... Born and raised here (45) and I've never seen or
remember an individual butcher shop. A few started but they were small
and were mostly expensive steaks. None have lasted.

I did go to the Farmer's Market today. In the warmer months on Thursday
they have a few varied farmers sell their stuff. I have business cards
for two farms if you would like some info. Beware though. This is free
range, no chemical stuff so you would be paying a lot for a shoulder or
brisket.

I'm off to Wallies to find that brisket. Thanks, Stump

No. That's what it said on the package. I'm in central MA.

I'm a custodian at a large church, and years ago a coworker and I were
talking about his obsession with turning out lights the second a group
got done using a room. I told him that during the summer it made sense
to try to stay on top of turning out lights, but that in the winter it
wasn't so important. I told him that in the windowless basement rooms,
every single bit of electricity used by the light bulbs was heating the
rooms exactly as efficiently as an electric space heater, and the only
savings incurred would be avoiding the replacement of light
bulbs/ballasts, and the possibility/liklihood that the natural gas that
fueled the boilers was slightly less expensive than the equivalent
amount of energy from electricity.
The guy just couldn't get it through his thick head that all the energy
used was going to end up as heat, and that energy never gets "used up."

It took me a while, but I figured out that you were responding to my
..sig, not the post:-) Bourbon can do that to me.

Thermo is tough stuff to deal with if you are going to mathematically
rigorous, but thermo for dummies pretty much tells you what you need to
know. Entropy isn't what it used to be.

Like old soldiers, energy just keeps fading away. It cost me a mint to keep
my house cool this summer. It'll cost me a mint to keep it warm this
winter. The energy may not get "used up", but my $$$ sure does! Give me
entropy or give me death! ;-/

It means that I don't have anything to do with "Brick.net". And yes
Ed, I doubt that anybody would consider me to be a 'Class Act'.
