sounds like a lovely southern meal. I'd have me a fat tbone steak, fried in bacon grease, with a brown crunchy crust, and medium rare, with buttermilk biscuits and asparagus and baked potato with chives and butter, and huckleberry pie ala mode.

I forgot to mention the buttermilk biscuits!!!! Bad me.

Lol yess! Worth it though!! And i can't believe how little you spent!! Here that would be well over $100, possibly closer to $200. Though a lot of the ingredients are pretty cheap so maybe not. But still. Not $25 lol But we live in a town and about 2 minutes from 2 different grocery stores (and lots of other stuff, most notably CVS, Dollar Tree, and McDonald's LOL) and in the other direction, 15 minutes from more grocery stores and one of those club ones and Walmart and shopping sooo... we just buy everything hahah

But this year I'm going to try to grow vegetables. Kinda went overboard on buying the seeds...

but I think it will be fun. Plus these are our first chickens which we got in October. Pulled out the egg recipe books tonight.

I'd love goats or ducks but probably can't for a while or not here. But maybe eventually. I'd want brush clearing and pets for the goats and pets for the ducks but maybe I'd eat the eggs and maybe they'd eat pests. But so that probably makes it even more unlikely, they gotta contribute somehow and I don't need or want goat milk atm.

I think it would be fun to be more self sufficient but like I said, it's not a necessity for us but I definitely still want to. Plus eventually I want to move to where it will be a necessity and I need to practice.

I also need to change my eating habits. I buy junk all the time or eat out which won't fly. Most of the stuff isn't even possible to make ourselves anyways though

I love the fact that most of the stuff came from our own backyard or from hunting season. We got the shrimp right off the boat from a friend. Didn't even charge us for the pound.

Carrots and peppers onions and all strait from the ground. He did buy the steak that he put inside the pork roast. A few things like the gram crackers and cream cheese was bought. Like I said. Right at $25 for the whole meal.
