Went to grocery shop... have prices for meat gone crazy in other places? A single tri-tip roast was 40-50$.... What????

Tofu is pretty cheap.

I have not had tofu in years (almost thirty), but I eat a lot of black beans to replace hamburger, and chickpeas to replace chicken. It’s cheaper than buying meat in the store, and more convenient than chasing the flock.

You have to really work it to make it look & taste right. I don’t mind putting the time in as long as it keeps me from eating a boring, white, protein sponge.

Dip nets... that is what we use.

My grandmother used a long metal pole with a hook on the end... just right for catching a leg.

Well... how many pounds was it?

I think my last "hunk O' meat " was about 5 bucks a pound.

The meat in our freezer is chickens we have raised, venison we have gotten and processed ourselves or beef purchased from a neighbor that averaged just over $3/lb including processing. I have no idea what it costs in the store…

I know. I told E that we just need to get our processing done and eat what we have running around outside. (No, not the ground squirrels, although I hear they're not bad in a pinch!
