Buying Meat

Before I get to the meat, Monday did not go as planned. We had BLTs for dinner, and I did not get the turkey legs baked. No big deal. I can do it later tonight. Tuesday, I had planned to go to Cullman but changed my mind.

Monday, I went to Home Depot, my first time ever. I found flowers seeds--pink wave petunias. I am thrilled. I had to stand in line to get in. There were not many people in the store.

Last fall, I bought two yellow mums for the porch. I never took the pots with dead flowers off the porch. About three months ago, I saw little green bits and thought some wayward seed had landed and taken sprout. No, the mums came back in one pot. So, now I will plant mum seeds for this fall and try to overwinter them on purpose.

Tuesday, we had BLT salad--bacon, lettuces, and tomato and dressing. I usually include 1/2 piece of bread for each of us, cut in small pieces for a carb, but forgot.

Now, for the meat.

I have ground beef, ground pork, and chicken. There are two cooked turkey breasts. I don't have much pork or beef in chunks. And, this is okay with me. I will only buy chicken breasts from here on out. Poultry is what matters to me. Today, Monday, I made my first foray in my search for BSCB.

It was late, so not much was left. I found one package of chicken tenders for $2.68/lb, $4 worth. That is not the best price, but it was there. Tuesday, the search is on.

Oh, there are no freezers to be had. I only want a small upright since I cannot get things from a chest freezer. I have yet to convince Tommy. But, give me time.

  1. I'm looking for a small chest freezer- I had a larger one several years ago but it was bulky and I never had enough in it so I donated it to AmVets. Wish I had it back LOL. I have 2 old refrigerators (I'm talking 1997 and 2001) that will be 'dying' soon so I might buy a new fridge and freezer at the same time but I'm not replacing until one actually stops working.

    1. Nan,
      Hopefully, you will find one. Now, everyone has NO freezers. I think I got my old refrigerator in 1980 something. Maybe you could sell them while they are working and put that on new one.

  2. BLT sounds so good. still on the chilly side here in Ohio but I know it's warm there in Alabama.

  3. My son and his wife eat boneless, skinless chicken breasts almost every day. They got oa butcher shop to get them. My daughter-in-law asked me to go and get some so she wouldn't have to take the young kids out. I stopped in to get her list and her money. She said 40 (Yes, forty they only shop once a month) chicken breasts.
    I gave my order to the butcher and a woman behind me made a snotty remark that I should leave some for the rest of the choppers. She then tapped me on the shoulder and asked what in the world was I going to do with 40 chicken breasts.
    I told her I was starting a chicken farm and was going home to plant them.
    She did not think it was funny (but the butcher did).

    1. Jan,
      Tommy and I both thought that was hilarious. First, I would have said, "Keep your hands off me."
