T-Bones: its what’s for dinner

If I’ve ever complained about living in the Midwest, I’d like to take this opportunity to retract any such statements. It turns out, there are benefits to living in a land-locked state with nothing but farmland all around you.

Yeah, we just filled our deep freezer with beef. A quarter of a cow, to be exact. We’ve got rump roast, shoulder roast, ribs, porterhouse steaks, T-bone steaks, other steaks, ground beef, and pretty much anything you can get in the beef category. I’m not really sure how much it all boiled down to pound-for-pound, but it was a deal. And it should last a long while- hopefully a little over a year.

Besides, the cost of meat is getting ugly- especially when you’re seeking out hormone and antibiotic free meat from local farmers. Now at least we’re covered in beef (literally). And if all goes well (ie. Terry finds all her little piggies) we’ll be covered in pork by January. So, that just leaves poultry to find.

I keep threatening to transform our shed into a chicken coup, but I think the dogs might frighten them and the chickens wouldn’t lay eggs or taste very good. Plus, Justin hasn’t really warmed up to the idea yet. Oh well, there’s always the Millsap farm.
