I gave myself a myLot time out!

I was in here a little earlier, but I had to give myself a myLot time out! My husband and I had to play butcher shop. I don't eat 'store bought' ground beef, it has too much who knows what and grease in it. We buy an eye round and my husband grinds the beef in his professional food grinder. This way it has no fat. My digestive system cannot tolerate fat or grease. So in order for me to have a 'burger' this is what we go through. Once he grinds the meat I form the patties, wrap each one in plastic wrap and get them in the freezer. I know some of you will say that the meat is dry. Yes, I agree, it is a little on the dry side. However, I usually saute a few mushrooms to put on my burger and I use a lot of Ketchup. In the long run they are not very dry at all. The biggest time eater doing this is cleaning the meat grinder, but that's my husband's job. Once that was done I cooked some ground beef for his pasta sauce and did a few more beef related things. Once the kitchen was clean I wanted to take a ride over to the Watts Bar dam to see the water going over the spillway. The TVA has let water out of all 9 dams due to the amount of rain we had. Letting the water out will prevent flooding. I believe that is the first time I've seen water going over that dam. We have our special dinner menu all planned and we will be working on that later on. So until then I have removed myself from time out and I'll be reading and commenting! I hope everyone is having a great last day of 2015 and for those of you already in 2016, Happy New Year!
