wow all that and more....

yep the other post dissapeared RAAWR!!

wow!! did you kill the computer yet? You know I have had that happen to me too and that is the pain in the but.. If you know what I mean. I hate when you type and type and type and then hit post comment and it messes up.

LOL i didn't kill it, but i went to bed really soon after that so that i didn't want to throw it outta the window.. oh wait.. i have no window big enough. ok.. anyways on with the re-poST! So i would make: Sgetti, MEATBALLS for sure, Goulash, hamburger helper, cassaroles of different types, meatballs again, and maybe some more meatballs! lol i really like meatballs ;) I WOULDn't make: MEATLOAF!! lol there is a story behind this. My MIL and FIL came to visit us when we first moved up there.. (they live approx. 200miles away, thank god, ((sorry hunny if you read this your mom drives me nuts)) ) And she decided before we went to work to tell my hubby that she was making him his FAVOURITE meal for dinner for when he came home. WELL. he came home expecting steak and scalloped potatoes i think!! she got the potatoes right, but he had MEATLOAF waiting for him!!! He doesn't even really like meatloaf, and i sure dont either. LOL. We ate it to be polite and we were hungry!! So we didn't mention it untill they had gone home and i was talking to FIL a few months later and decided it was old news and maybe we could share a laugh over it, and we did. At MIL expense. lol. i dont think she thought it was too funny but FIL and i did ;)

Go ahead and pm your email ... Then when I email you you'll have mine and we can keep in touch. LOL!! thanks hun.

usually with my family we do the 2lb to every thing. LOL!!! thank you i do really appreciate new recipes. I like to try new things.

Kewl!! Will do I really have tons of easy great recipes for ground beef or turkey..They usually just call for 1-2 pounds but with your family- might be a little more...:)

yeah the cow was only about 300 lbs but 80lbs was ground beef and then we got alot of roasts and steaks. 72lbs of roasts and easily 40llbs of soup bones and 48lb of tbones .. that is rough estimate. so I would have to aggree that the butcher did an awesome job and thanks for the ideas I appreciate it. LOL!! have a nice day.

Raijin , I think my dear your going to have to come and teach me to make some wontons and springroll.. Yummmm .. Now I'm hungry got to go forge for food. LOL!! Thanks for the suggestions.

Thanks Gmakesmoney I'll have to check out that website. We also got T-bones, raosts and many other things. I'll be eating beef for about a month now LOL!!! It's nice to only have to get sides instead of the main dish and it came out to 1.59 per pound which have you ever seen a T-bone for 1.59 a pound. I think this is going to be my preferred way of buying meat from now on. LOL!!!!

Wow that's an amazing price!!! Hmmm... that might be worth buying an extra freezer for. We're always looking for ways to save on our groceries, surprsingly groceries in AL are super expensive. It takes us about $250 to feed 2 people per month if we stick to a tight budget! Meanwhile back home in MA where the cost of living is double, my best friend spends $150 a month feeding 3 people. We have so many all natural and organic meat farms in the state, I bet something like that would be worth it. Oh and yeah those recipes are awsome and you can make them all your own by subsituting things, which is what I do. Their made over cheese buger I turned into a bruscetta burger like the one at Applebee's by using bruscetta, 2% mozzarella, romain lettuce (healtheir than regular lettuce which has no nutrients at all), whole wheat buns and instead of the miracle whip in the meat I used A1 sauce the zesty one made for burgers. I made it with their unfried French Fries except I put them standing in a little coffee cup with olive oil and sprinkled shaved parmesean over them after placing them in the cup instead of using shredded while cooking. OMG... soooooo yummy!

That sounds absolutely delicious .. Thank you for the recipes and yeah I would have to say getting a the cow was worth the price. LOL!! Beef it's whats for dinner is no longer a commercial it's a reality in this house. LOL!!!

Yep I'm feeding an army I have a family of 7. LOL.. thank you for your response. Does your wife have an account that I can ask her?

Which reminds me I should get out a couple of my dusty recipe books. LOL!! thank you for the reminder and have a nice day.

Are you sure you would need four other people to go in with you? because I have a family not much bigger than yours and the half of cow will probably last me a month and a half. Also if you wrap it properly you shouldn't end up getting and freezer yuck. LOL!!!

LOL that is what I thought looking into the 2 boxes of just ground beef.. Holy cow... or really there was some other choice words in my head.. LOL!!!
