Actually, Sheldon... this time you are partially right. Our smallest
cat (Phoebe) is a Ham Hog and she gets a slice whenever we get out the
cold cuts.

But I never told you how much meat I buy at one time... I told you how
much meat went on a sandwich. You obviously got confused. I usually
buy a pound and a half of ham and a half pound each of provolone and
genoa along with other cold cuts. That gives us enough to make two to
three sandwiches, feed Phoebe and have some left over to put in salads
or add to a lunch plate. Example, my lunch plate today was some slices
of ham, liverwurst, cheese and a couple of hard boiled eggs. A good,
high protein, low carb lunch.
