This evenings dinner crab legs, shrimp, garlic mashed taters, and broccoli with cheese. The only thing that would have made it better would have been a steak.
What's For Dinner?

The price of meat right now is crazy and you better watch because they find a lot of ways to make more. Boneless whole pork loin can be bought often for $1.99 a lb. Thats's about as cheap as anything you can buy besides chicken. Right next to the whole loins you'll see the same meat cut into chops, butterflied chops, thin cut, thick cut, stuffed, etc. that's when the price can climb to $6.99 or higher.
Always buy the whole loin and cut it yourself. When It's on sale, I usually buy two and spend a few hrs cutting and vacuum sealing per my needs.
Gotta love a chop that's almost 3" thick.

Looks tasty dude!
I'm making plans to get some chickens for eggs, but may get some for meat as well. My dad and I are going in on a steer and a hog or two. Going to go all grass fed. Can't wait until we butcher!

That's kinda funny you mention that. I've spent my whole life trying to gain weight by eating like a pig & it hasn't helped. Now that I'm in my mid 50's I've finally learned not to give a fuck. My new problem is that I have high cholesterol & I'm working on keeping down. Go figure.
Have you considered meat rabbits? Dude I grew up with always had rabbits going for the freezer. Joie and were still getting a few from them up until a few years ago. I'd go over and help with all the butchering and have some fine white meat for the freezer.

Putting this on here and on my Pork thread. Smallest ham I have, at least 5 pounds ++++. I cut it, poured a bottle of maple surup on it and baked it in the oven. Got it all smoked and it was awesome.

Last Sunday I stuffed a turkey for my birthday. Friday I got around to using up the leftovers. Hard to beat home made pot pie!
Just a heads up...
Costco has full loins for $2 a pound and $2.50 off per package.
So I purchased a 10 pound loin (trimmed) for $17.50
Cut some for chops and left a good portion to smoke whole. Good deal for anyone that is a member.

Last nights dinner deer roast, baby carrots, sour cream and chive mashed potatoes, and hot yeast rolls.
That looks so good. I was waiting on my dinner, when I clicked on this earlier.
