Vac sealing that meat on Saturday
Went to the supermarket yesterday and hit the used meat bin pretty hard.
Got there just as the butcher was loading it up with marked down beef.
Six nice sirloin steaks, two thick chuck steaks and a chuck roast that
will do well as pot roasts, and a couple of 2 inch ribeyes, all for half
price. Now residing in the freezer in their vacuum seal bags for later
use. Saved on nice sirloin out for supper tonight, will broil it on the
gas grill. Tomorrow will be a pot roasted 7 bone roast with veggies.
Made a big pot of chili yesterday, ate a bowl or two at supper and then
froze the rest in containers fit for nuking and snacking or for topping
off a nice hot dog at a later time.
Bell peppers in the garden are almost big enough to start picking but
everything else is slow. We got almost a half inch of rain yesterday but
not enough to break the drought. Weather bureau says worse since records
have been kept in this area and that started in 1890. I think the webs
between my toes are starting to shrink.
