    Thread ignore

    Yes, I know, what a delicate flower, but honest to goodness what I want more than anything on this forum right now is the ability to put a thread on ignore. I wish I could describe the visceral reaction, the bile rising, the hands shaking, the tears welling up, that happens when certain...

    So talk to your butcher about how you like it packed. My sister's butcher vacuum packs.

    Well, around here the beef you can get for that price is the same beef as you'd get after it's been trucked down the highway, run through a slaughter yard, and butchered by ex-cons. Only, minus all the stresses to the animal, and unskilled butchery, and the middle men lining their pockets...

    so price a quarter. Trust me, you're not the only one who wants to split and doesn't have anyone to go in with. They'll be able to sell it.

    We had movers. I think it must be the change in climate that's the issue.

    I didn't used to be so bad. Since this last move, it's like all my joints fused. It's no easy task getting moving again.

    I will have to pass that along to my sister, although she tends to love the patisseries more than the sausage shops. lol. Cholesterol levels are overrated. Stress levels and activity levels are much better indicators of health than some arbitrary number. (says the stressed out, sedentary...

    If I hadn't been traveling with my parents on my trip to the U of R convocation ceremonies Ron, I'd have called you up while I was in town. Now, I'll HAVE to if you know where to get good Ukrainian sausage :)

    Processed foods in general are bad for you. Buying them, relying on them, on a regular basis is bad for your health. So I don't shop at M&M. Also, I can get most of their stuff cheaper at Wholesale Club if I wanted, where I can also get unbrined meats, fresh veggies, etc.

    Try freezing them in your marinade to cut down on 'thought time'. :)

    I said processed, not tainted. The salt, sugar, and preservative levels in their prepared foods are insane. It's why they taste good, why they keep well, and why people keep buying them. It doesn't make it 'good for you'.

    Not all of it, but a great lot of it, yes. It's one of the least cost effective and least healthy ways to buy meat for a family. Yup.

    M&M's is gateway processed foods, disguising themselves as a 'meat shop'. I want to scream when I hear friends say they went to the butchers, when where they really went is M&M's.

    Kale chips?

    People say the same thing to me about so many things. Swiss chard. Spinach. Cabbage. Rhubarb. Onions.

    Kale chips?

    I find kale tastes best with vinegar to balance it out. For example, I love it in vegetable soups. It holds up better than spinach or swiss chard, and a big of vinegar makes it bright. I like wilted kale salad, but I'm not so big on raw kale salad. I haven't tried kale chips yet, but...

    My one uncle used to measure out his drinks with a syringe it was so potent. I wouldn't even dare to think what it would have tasted like straight.

    Amazing Photo I just found on net

    I hope you didn't take it as any kind of accusation, perhaps the slogan makes perfect sense if you visit the rest of their website, I just was... kind of taken aback.

    Council of Europe Attempts to Stop Coerced Sterilization of Transgendered Persons

    So which ignorant, backwards country is trying to coerce transgendered people into being sterilized? Shockingly, almost all of them! The Council of Europe has issued a report declaring the policies of many of its member countries, a human rights abuse. "The Council of Europe report...
