Beef prices are up 28.6% in the last year, but at least booze prices are falling. The monarchs used to say “Let them eat cake”. Now they say “Let them drink beer”.
Imagine how much food will cost when the Fed is able to create some real inflation.
DROWN YOUR SORROW OF NOT BEING ABLE TO AFFORD STEAK
Stucky- Delicious, Healthy…without Meat, Dairy, Wheat &Nut Free!”
Surely you jest?
I’m cut way aback on the bread , but at least once a week , I got to bake a homemade loaf of the wholesome goodness regardless..
e.g. http://logcabincooking.com/category/recipes/bread/
And now that Thanksgiving has come and gone, grocers have marked down unsold ham by 30-40% which is a damn fine opportunity to make a huge pot of ham and cabbage soup for stocking up the freezer…a meatless meal? …another oxymoron…sheesh.
“Surely you jest?” ———— flash
Yes …….. for me.
But, Clams said she is off red meat and dairy ……. plus she’s on a budget …. and it seems that’s what the book is about, so I posted it for her to check out, if she wants.
Tigress: “It is said that the Dragon Warrior can go for months without eating, surviving on the dew of a single ginko leaf and the energy of the universe.”
Po: “Then I guess my body doesn’t know I’m the Dragon Warrior yet. It’s gonna take a lot more than dew, and, uh, universe juice.”
All these diets and cookbooks that do away or go without all the good stuff… milk, cheese, bread, bacon, etc…
If we followed those recipes verbatim, we’d have a country of pale white scarecrows stumbling around with no energy… sort of “The Walking Dead” meets Auschwitz…
“More bee spit and rain water soup, Sir?”
“No thanks, I’m stuffed. I might have the fumes from a breath mint for dessert, though…”
“And I only have 20 more pounds to lose!”

My seester and her hub are vegetarians and bordering on vegan. I brought goulash to our Thanksgiving get-together …. for my parents, Ms Freud, and myself. She whined (to be fair, just a little bit) when I warmed it up …. she hates the smell of meat. We have interesting “discussions” …. but, they are short. Like this;

Mmmmmm boy! Yummy, yummy!
Come on! Eat up! That shit looks fan-damn-tastic!! Like bacon flavored Epic cake, served in a bowl of bacon with bacon sprinkles…

I just submitted my thesis for a doctoral degree in psychiatry. It’s entitled, “Ten Easy Steps to a Compete State of Assholery.” Heh. I win.

Barnsley House Porridge with Whisky
The ultimate in oatmeal: subtly sweet with the honeyed spice of Drambuie whisky and a texture like tapioca pudding.
Ingredients
1 cup Scottish ground oats or oat bran
3 cups water or milk, or a mixture of each
1 shot Drambuie whisky (about 1.5 oz)
optional, but recommended:
1-2 tbsp brown sugar, to taste
splash of cream
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, bring water, milk, or a combination of the two to a boil. Stir in oats and reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 10-15 minutes until the oats have absorbed most of the liquid; taste as you go along until you get to your desired texture and thickness. Stir in whisky and, if using, the brown sugar and cream. Enjoy while still hot.
Note: It MUST be Drambuie according to the author of this recipe — “a whiskey our parents would know” that comes infused with honey, herbs, and spices like clove and nutmeg.

If that makes you feel better, sure … no problem. But, TBP-World KNOWS you pussied out!! I’ll give you more opportunities in due time to redeem yourself.
For what it’s worth, here is my solution to the current beef inflation. Trader Joe’s sells beef tenderloin sold in pieces about 4 or 5 inches long that cost around $12 to $14. Slice the beef into 3 or 4 good sized filets and sprinkle with prairie dust seasoning like the steak house restaurants prepare theirs and grill. Garnish with small amount of balsamic glaze and yum-yum. Steak dinner for three or four people for a small amount of money.
STUCKY
You should have asked your seester if those leather seats in her car or that leather purse she carries count as murder of animals. I love to pull that one on the vegan crowd and watch them struggle to explain the difference. They can’t eat it but they sure as hell will sit on it.

Oh, yeah, I’ve done that. Finding inconsistencies in their libtard beliefs is easier than shooting fish in a barrel. For example, they are global warming believers. She drives a big Chrysler 300 … he drives a monster Ram pickup with a huge engine, hemi I believe, … so, yeah, just shut the fuck up, I say.
What is it that takes a perfectly rational, reasonable person and turns them into non-critical thinking libtard? The teevee. I know people who have not eaten eggs since the teevee told them they contribute to heart disease…maroons. If you say, but eggs are a component in most of the foods you eat, they say “just don’t tell me about it”. What kind of thinking is this?

Did you catch the articles out maybe 6 months ago that DoD was studying some dude from India that claimed he had not eaten or drunk anything for years. Claimed he only gargled and swished water in his mouth then spit out. If I could get the hang of that I could save a fortune every year not buying mineral water and food.
HF- Don’t get me wrong I do enjoy food, just not in the same way most Americans enjoy food. I got away from what is commercially popular regarding food and I am better for it. I would say most Americans, though they have a lot of food, are malnourished. There are plenty of high caloric foods available in the US with very low nutritional value.I eat foods that I deem to be real food. What grows out of the grown or from an animal. Not a product that is man made through the manipulation of lab technology. I also practice caloric restriction, I can eat a plate of vegetables and get the proper nutrition and be full but lower my caloric intake. America has a problem with gluttony and we have a problem with knowing what is healthy for us.

“Grits is groceries?..who knew?”
Shit, I thought grits were essential to human life! I have to mail order mine because the only thing available around here is in instant garbage variety.
We even make low country (SC) shrimp and grits with peppers, asparagus and pancetta as a dinner meal.
I think it was Clammy who mentioned it but how the hell do you make lumpy grits?
IS- Plenty of people make lumpy grits because they either buy instant or they don’t know you have to slowly pour and stir the grits in while the water is boiling. I love grits but the way some people cook them makes me hate them as well. It is disappointing to bite into a grit lump.
I/S…grits,catfish and greens…about as close to heaven as one can get without dyin’..
The WW cover…back when music wasn’t so damn whiny.
I like to soak grits but I use coarse ground grits. I measure out the cold water I need and add salt to taste then add the grits and let them soak in the pot overnight. Next morning I add some butter and a tablespoon of cream before bringing to a boil then simmer. Sometimes I add whole roasted cloves of garlic. Sometimes I’ll add fresh chives or green onions, just enough to add some flavor. Just about any cheese is good for grits. Plain with a little butter is good as usual. I usually fry leftovers the next day.
I was raised on grits. Instant grits should be outlawed IMO.

Pink Anderson was the “Pink” half of the inspiration for the band Pink Floyd. Syd Barrett and company cut their teeth on old American folk/blues music by guys like this. One of the few good things our govt did was send people with recording equipment across the back roads of America to record music like this and preserve it in the Library of Congress.

Add some pork sausages , and a couple of fried eggs with runny yellows mixed in with your cheese and grits, topped off with red eye gravy and you’ll have yourself a fine Southern soul breakfast.
I’m throwing some beef shanks and short ribs in the oven to slow cook all day, have them with red wine reduction over polenta with a side of wilted kale and maple glazed black walnuts.
Beef, it’s what’s good for you.

You and I must be from the same area of the south. Red eye gravy was served with country ham and grits at our house. Cheese grits are mighty fine, mighty fine indeed.
Bea , I from the south side of the South …across the tracks so to speak….for those who’ve never had the pleasure of tasting red-eyed gravy over your grits and wish to give it a try, what you do first is fry up some country ham in a cast iron pan, then after removing the ham and all but about 2 tablespoons of grease,add ’bout a 1/2 cup of strong black coffee with a little water and there you have it…red-eye gravy…ain’t much fixin’ , but it shor’ is tasty.
