Meat, glorious meat!

Perhaps this should go in the Foyer, but I had to fight a spiritual battle after conference this afternoon. My son's high school athletics department had a meat sale fundraiser. One can buy various cuts of meat (typically in five- to twenty-pound slabs), and a butcher slices it up the way you want. Grade is choice or better. Should one shop on the Sabbath? My wife said, "No." But I had committed to support my son's swim and soccer teams, not to mention Cowboy and meat industry generally, so I went anyway.

I returned with about a dozen tenderloin filets, and around 18 thick Ribeyes. Oh, and five pounds of smoked bacon. Despite my wife's rebuke, I found the whole experience deeply spiritual.

I'm not much of a chef, but I read everyone's suggestions in this forum, and I'm looking forward to some serious grilling and pan frying. If you don't mind partaking of food purchased on the Sabbath, you're invited to join us in the weeks ahead.

Please, sir. I want some more!

Do you have any idea how much meat comes from a single cow? My uncle bought a cow at a fundraiser, and after the butcher was finished they had more than they could hold in their freezer. I scored so many roasts, chops, burgers, steaks, you name it. And it barely made a dent.

My father in law owns a farm and they raise cattle. Every year him and his brother keep one and slaughter it themselves. They split up the meat, and he usually has enough to fill his freezer, his brothers freezer and most of our freezer.

This is not a joke--I think I ate ribeye steaks 4 times a week last summer. I would have had it all 7 days but I decided to follow DC 89 and limit my consumption.

Ha. So much for that healthy lifestyle you promote with your avatar.

That's good eating. Fifty or sixty bucks a week on four meals for one person. Sounds worth it.

Nice try. McRibs are NOT ribeyes.

McRibs are awesome. I like the uncooked onions sprinkled on top.

I can't put a price on eating well and eating happy. You see dollar signs...I see happiness.

McRibs < Fiesta Burritos

You may have me in the quantity department but I'm feeling pretty content after a meal of a loaded baked potato (cooked in campfire coals) and a Costco Ribeye grilled over aforementioned coals ....

I hope you had the sense to purge yourself afterward. Ribeye will destroy your figure.

Isn't it "may I have some more"?

And McRib is nothing compared to the Filet o' Fish.

I love the FOF! During the Lent season McD's offers some great FOF specials. You can add a sandwich to your combo meal for 59 cents or make it a double FOF for a dollar. Nothing like a double stacked deep-fried fish sandwich loaded with tarter sauce.
