Smithfield has gone to the dark side
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.

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! Stump |

"At my local market: St Louis Ribs with 18% solution of (stuff) and rub. Ready for the grill. $5.49/#, too." 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... |

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 |

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 |

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." --Bryan |

It means that I don't have anything to do with "Brick.net".
