Back to no in-dinning in KY. Sigh

Isn't sighing sort of like second-degree whining?  

And this  (eyeroll) is maybe third-degree whining?

I'd pay AOC to stay home.

Down to 46 rolls of toilet paper. Time to panic?

49 if you count what's already hanging

That's what she said.

If my daughter was still here I would actually be worried. A roll lasted maybe two days with her here. Now maybe two weeks.

^^^If I could only break my wife of the habit of spinning the roll like she was on Wheel of Fortune.

Lame. I spin it like that giant wheel on The Price is Right

My wife is the same way.
I've told her countless times that I have seen it up close and personal and her hootchie ain't that big.

I stopped by the store this morning on the way back from dropping Seren at daycare.

Very little ground beef.

Some other spots in the meats case that were pretty thin.

Plenty of hams.

Plenty of toilet paper. I picked up another 12 pack of quad rolls. That makes 2, plus the tail end of another package (probably 30 or so rolls altogether), so I should be good there.

I have a good amount of meat in the freezer. Still a bit low on some dry goods, but I'll be remedying that in the next few days.

What I don't have much of is chicken. I need to start freezing chicken breasts and thighs.

Now is a good time to buy turkey.  You can pretend it's big chicken. :)  Roast a whole 22 lb turkey just for yourself.  Freeze 1 lb bags of leftovers.  Make stock from the skin and bones and scraps, and freeze that too.

If you can find a 22lb bird. 

Looks like there are way more small turkeys in the cases this year than big turkeys.

[K Frame]

"Roast a whole 22 lb turkey just for yourself."

You seem to think I've never done that...

Sorry to disabuse you of the notion... :)

I have a 20 pounder in the freezer already. I bought that one mainly for making a huge pot of stock, which I've not gotten around to. I need to, because it's getting a bit on the older side... Turkey stock is some really magical stuff.

I'm likely going to pick up a 10-12 pounder either this weekend or right after the holiday. That one I will roast for me.

[K Frame]

And these are exactly what I need for making stock...

Decent price, too.

I went to a restaurant supply store a couple years ago and bought huge packages of plastic togo containers.  Quarts, pints, and lids.  They look a lot like those but they are thinner, and I think they were cheaper.  They make wonderful freezer containers, and they don't take up much space when empty.

Your link is a lot better than the 4-packs of freezer containers at Walmart, etc.  I used to buy those but they are way too expensive.

If you want a reliable stash of meat and poultry, keep it on the hoof and claw. It'll always be fresh.

You'll always have a goodly supply of eggs, milk, and fertilizer.

Yeah. My neighbors would be fine with me keeping a couple of cows in my suburban townhouse yard...

You probably ought to have a talk with the new ahole on your HOA board.

I did. The SOB said no.

Got 15 turkeys in the yard still.  Had 16, but they killed one.  Fortunately my wife saw it happening and was able to salvage the meat.  Plus I have a 25lb turkey in the freezer from what I processed a couple months ago.  And 40 or so chickens.

Dammit, China! While deciding what I want for lunch today, I have discovered the local pizza place is giving up. Guess I'll get one last pizza from them. I'm now down to one diner, one burger joint, and one hipster coffee and frufru croissants and stuff food place. Well, and Subway out on the highway.
