There is a camel dairy in SW Missouri.

Hahaha 😄 How to get a good deal? I took the butcher shop owner fishing Sat. 😁

I've definitely lost my ability to eat temps that I used to. I still like them, but they don't like me.

Sounds like it would have been a good time to have Carni Ice Cream for dessert. 🫠

Fishing is my therapy. I just like to be by or on the water in my kayak. If I happen to catch something for dinner, then It's a bonus. Sometimes it won't even make it to the house, as I carry a frying pan in the truck.

Here, if you own a certain amount of acres, you get a certain amount of tags for deer and turkey. Both archery and gun. I have, said certain amount of land. But the last few years, I let one or two fellas hunt and get a share of the rewards. I like when the amish friend gets two deer cuz he brings me one all cut up and all I havta do is package it. The only thing I don't have is fish and it's not too far away. About five or so miles in two directions is a reservoir. So no, I don't spend much for fish and game. I am pretty cheap. I usedta say it cost me about $3.80 to go fishing. That was for a gallon of gas and an RC cola. I spect it's still about the same. A gallon of gas and a jug of water. 😀

Congrats Terry!!! 🥳

Aldi lets me try cuts we don't have locally. The little store I part time at still has $3.49 lb bacon. And their burger just went up to $4.50. I got a bone in ham yesterday for $1.49 lb. I don't usually need to go anywhere else.

I had my first ever pound of Wagu burger. Aldi's brand. Was cheaper than the regular burger at the butcher shop. Wasn't bad, but I dunno if I'll do it again any time soon. Wasn't that special. I like when they have their specials on 70/30 in a five pound tube.

I've ate hamburger raw back when I was young and had all my chompers. Seems like I ate a rabbit that didn't rotisserie quite long enough. And raw eggs were common. But then we drank out of the creek. I probably wouldn't do that now without filtering. I spect we all ate raw meat back before Mr. Zippo invented fire.

They look like hush puppies. However a lot of them "powders" are not readily available around here. Me personally, will probably just experiment with fish balls and call it good. 😀

I never was much on hush puppies. Everyone had them at fish-frys. I just liked the fish and slaw. But thinking modified fish balls. Maybe shredded or pounded fish with garlic,finely chopped onions, whatever spices you want, Thickened with pork panko, then dipped in egg and maybe more panko, then fried in tallow or bacon grease.

I had a six egg pizza at work. Work mate fixed herself some sausage patties and something? And left me the grease which I added butter to. Then added pepperoni and Colby jack cheese. Then stuffed more butter in random places when it was done. Pretty well filled me for the day.

Lookin Good!!!

Dill pickles are good for grease splatter burns. I keep a jar in my kitchen for first aid. 😀 Mustard works good too. I know people that love dill pickle anything. I am not one of those people. 🙂 I do share your likeness for blue cheese tho. 😃

I've been cooking for most of my life as well. Twenty years of it, I actually got paid for it. At home since it's just me, I like one pot meals. And sometimes even eat out of the pot. I read or watch tons of recipes, then condense them to suit my liking. As a great cook once said; A recipe is but a road map. Shows you where you are and where you want to go, but it's up to you to choose the scenic route or the shortcut, as long as you get there.

I probably would have never tried it if not for a neighbor getting a beef butchered. Lots of bone broth jello left over. Mmm. I also can score organ meats this way. Probably a rural thing, like being in the right place at the right time.

Most of this video is all bout the history of Spam. While also including an old recipe of cream cheese and spam. The video creator wasn't too impressed. But did his homework on where Spam came from. I thought interesting. The history of Spam

Yesterday I had a slab of ribs slow on the grill. This evening, Had a pound of ground beef with blue cheese and a home grown mater. I like ox tail. Luckily not everyone else likes it. So when one of my neighbors butcher, I sometimes get the tail. and other parts.

I get a cat scan every evening. Sometimes I get multiple scans when they all try to get on my lap at the same time. 🫣 🤪

Worked today and they had some ribs that hadn't sold yet. So that's what I had. Another slab.

Yesterday I had a slab of ribs for lunch, since work smoked meats the night before. I'm thinking tonight I may clean out the fridge. Some burger, some polish sausages and the leftover chicken from the other night.

Grilled 4.59 lbs of chicken leg quarters. Ate all but one. Had a cup of almost decaf. What I mean by almost. I buy cheap decaf and add a teeny amount of Folgers reg. Sometimes I have decaf, sometimes I have almost decaf. Just enough caf to keep the caffeine monsters at bay. .... Then sometimes I grind some beans and get the full effect.

For lunch at work, I had a five egg pizza. ie, omelet with pepperoni and a few slices of mild cheddar. Usually I find a knob of butter in the kitchen but not today. And I wasn't gonna open a box so I opted for coconut oil. Musta used a lil much as a couple hours later I could've threaded a screen door and not touched a wire. That'll teach me. Brought home some baby back ribs that's thawing out.

Ya, my last bout of it when I ate the kippered beef only lasted about a half day. I was thankful for that. Back when I was eating the SAD, it would last a week or so. Noooo, I'd tell folks that didn't understand that it was like having a kidney stone in your toe.
