(( July 2015 )) "What's For Dinner??"

Norm wrote:There was one butcher shop just down the street that I didn't know was there until after it closed. It was a butcher shop for Spanish or Mexican people. It was right across the street from a Mexican grocery. There is another one that Cassie and a couple other people told me about that isn't too far but I have not been there yet. The butcher shop I have been to is across town but it's only about 20 minutes and Penzey's and a large antique mall are on the way so i can go there whenever I want without much trouble. After I went there, i was told it was where all the big time BBQ contestants go for their meat. They were reasonable too.

The big Question... What to have for dinner?
Tina made chicken soup, and we all know what my answer to that is! N O P E

There is egg salad! Toot!... nope!

Then, on Sunday afternoon, we're getting together with Lyn & Bill for a crab/steak picnic.  Bill & Dane are having the steak....Lyn & I are having the crab.  Snow crab legs on sale at Winn Dixie for $5.95/lb.

Burgers NOT the way Tina ordered them at the drive up.
Baked potatoes lumpy and not cooked. Flaky skins that I love, but could not eat. Like eating a brown paper bag.

Looks like I gotta write a letter to Dave.

Boy, don't you just hate when that happens?  How difficult is it to pay attention and follow directions?

bethk wrote:Yup ~ best time to get the offals is when they're fresh.  It was the same when Dad would send our steer off to the butcher.  He'd 'trade' half the meat with the butcher for the price of getting our half cut and wrapped.  And then he'd show up at home with the kidneys, liver and tongue.

I don't remember Mom or Dad eating the kidneys but they sure loved the liver with a big pan of fried onions.  And the tongue would get simmered and peeled and they'd tell us kids it was 'roast beef' sandwiches.
