What Did You Eat Today?

Do you have any idea how much a person can save by quitting drinking?  The wife was good for 5-7 bottles of $20 wine a week and I would polish off a $45 fifth, twice a week.  Yeah, we were blowing as much as $800 a month on alcohol.... makes me upset just thinking about that.   This isn't uncommon.... I have a nephew who claims he is spending $1,200-$1,500 a month at the bar that he visits at least 5 times a week.  Alcoholism is evil...... and expensive.
So I decided to splurge for the wife and cook her two of her most favorite food items on the planet.... Crab and Lobster.  This is $80 of Seafood, which is a 1/10th of what use to be our monthly alcohol bill.  Feels expensive, but the two Ribeyes I bought for the wife and I this week were $40.
Unfortunately, the brisket won't be ready until about 9pm... So will make a feast of it tomorrow.
 

Congratulations on putting down the booze. That is one of the very few things I’ve never become addicted to and back in the day I practically lived at the bar and I spent seven years working in bars as a bouncer. If I wasn’t working I was drinking. It was a way of life. Heck, I measured mileage on how many beers it took me to get to my destination. My dad was a functioning alcoholic ( after serving in three wars who wouldn’t be) but I had no trouble putting it down whenever I felt the need to. Since I became a carnivore I’ve just lost interest in it altogether. I had a sip of Jameson about a month ago and just dint have the desire to drink it.

The lobster and crab look great. Have you ever tried smoking your lobster? I smoked some Caribbean lobsters a couple of months ago and they were great.

No pics today because we went out to eat. My wife and daughter wanted to meet up for lunch at a cafe in town. It was a little early for me being at 11:00 am but I went ahead and ordered ala cart. 4 eggs, two ham slices and six rashers of bacon. Of course the eggs were probably cooked in seed oils but I’ll live.
It wasn’t a very satisfying meal so later this afternoon I ate some chuck roast swimming in fat. That did the trick.
