Food Buying Suggestions

I'm sure I don't wanna know! The miniscule amount that I do know of is horrendous enough.

 

Frisee and baby arugula are super cheap as well. Baby arugula, equal parts olive oil and lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste and some shaved hard cheese like pecorino romano = delicious salad.

 

What i ment to say is that it does not go on anymore
my bad

back when I was a college kid, and wanted to eat for a few days off a crock pot,

buy a cheap 2-3 pound beef roast (i prefer chuck, but whatever the local place has on sale is cool)

salt, pepper, tony's whatever floats your boat for seasoning.

get a handful of little red potatoes, and some baby carrots, maybe onions - again up to you.

put it all in your crock pot, dump one can of cream of mushroom soup in, and cook on medium for 4-6 hours. Stir it every couple of hours.



Another recipe
1.5-2 pounds of country style ribs
1 cup bbq sauce (or steal a crapload of lil packs from mcdonalds)
1 cup orange juice
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tbsp Worcestershire
1 tsp cumin (optional)
1 tsp cayenne/red pepper (optional)
1 tsp garlic salt (optional)

Put the ribs in your crock pot
mix all the other ingredients together, pour over the ribs.

Cook on high 2 hours, then reduce heat to low for another 2-3 hours, or medium for 6-8 hours.

Boom

 

I figured that's what you meant. How long have you been a butcher?

 

30 years this year

 

Rewarding trade I'd think. Commercial grocer? Private? Local butcher shop?

 

Love the line of work (guess thats why the 30yrs) I have worked in 3 different places, in both the commercial and private sectors. currently working in a commercial

 

Make a good plan, start out with easy stuff. Go shopping once a week that'll do when the plan (shopping list) is good. Make stuff that tastes good cold/reheated and only cook twice a week and than reheat in the micro wave. Saves a lot of time! Invest in some good "tupperwear" style containers

 

...and Ritz Crackers. Everything's better when it sits on a Ritz.

 

The threads finally picked up steam, BS and good stuff i'll take it all

 

Cham I think you should start a thread with pics of the food you're making, then we can all drool or yell at you

 

not a bad idea... Im no cook but i dont mind taking pics of the slop i eat haha.

 

If you have access to a oven, shake and bake with boneless skinless chicken thighs is always a good option with a canned veggie and rice. Always have enough leftovers for a lunch or two.

 

Boneless skinless thighs pretty much cook themselves. Also buy yourself some Cajun fuckin' seasonin'

Lot of nights for a couple bucks I've had boneless/skinless thighs with cajun seasoning and an avocado. epic cheap meal

You'll pay double for de-boned and skin off chicken thighs as opposed to skin on, bone in thighs FYI. Buy a cheap knife and learn to remove the bone and save some $$$

 

Hey now you trying to put me out of a job! LOL. just ask the butcher to debone them

 

I wouldn't know to ask them that, I still buy the double cost boneless/skinless chicken thighs

 

Just grab a package of thighs and ask them to debone them... I do it all the time for customers. just don't ask them to skin them
