Where's the Beef????

[DADoES]

 
@ WM this morning, last visit was 3/22.  Found everything I wanted.  Meat very sparse, most of the cooler empty.  There was small supply of 90/10 and 85/15 ground beef 1# rolls.  I got three 85/15s.  No signs advising of quantity limits.

Aldi's yesterday, meat secion looked stocked, though chicken was a bit low.

 

Tried the Impossible Whopper.  I ordered a "2 for $6" and got the Whopper and a Crispy Chicken sandwiche. I don't know which one I like better.

 

They were both good.  I haven't ordered a full size Whopper in probably 20 years nor have I had a BurgerKing Chicken sandwich , ever.  If I go to BK it's usually for a small onion ring and a jr. whopper or regular hamburger.  

 

Since it's vegan, I would order it again even though it's more expensive than a jr. hamburger from either BD, McD, or Wendys.

Freezer's pretty-well stocked here. Meals for 2:

3 steak
4 chicken thigh
4 chicken breast
3 pork chop
2 already cooked ham pieces
1 already cooked turkey pieces
1 already cooked pork roast slices
3 corned beef hash
3 chicken wing
1 Trader Joe's Mandarin chicken
1 cheese + mushroom + spinach ravioli
1 lobster ravioli
2 polish sausage

Add to that a dozen Italian sausages, at least a dozen 1/4# burgers, 3-4 pks bacon, 4 pks breakfast sausage, 3 corned beef briskets, 6 pints Concord grape juice (because we have the vines), various single servings of meat for me while Rich has his weekday meals, various frozen veggies and fruits... I guarantee if I go look there's more I'm forgetting about.

Now I just need to take a day where I can set up a big table, pull everything out and organize it so I know exactly what's in there. BTW, this is pretty much the level I would regularly have in there so none of it is CV driven. I'll be judicious about adding more meat, but when I see a sale I'll grab some same as always. Thank goodness for the vac-n-seal!

One thing in noticeably short supply in the freezer is spaghetti sauce (0). We've been eating a more simple "fresh" sauce recently when we want pasta. Sweat garlic in EVOO, add a can of diced tomatoes and oregano/basil/whatever, and mash a bit with a potato masher. If I see a pork shoulder or butt on sale, I'll grab it to strip it for ground pork then throw the bone and some other meat/bones in the slo-cooker with tomato products and seasonings for a heartier sauce to freeze.

Hope supplies level out for meat and everything else!

I need to drag everything out, defrost the deep freeze then reorganize and edit. I've got a small Woods upright from about 15 years ago (maybe 7-8 cuft) which needs defrosting. Right now we've got a bunch of frozen pizzas in there (the ones from the Italian vendor available at Aldi/TJ/Target are really good) but I'm not sure what all else...steamed some tamales which Brian's bought a couple years ago at the farmers' market for dinner last night.

Maybe make a complete list and put it on the door with a pencil or pen nearby so you can easily cross off when you take something out.  Also, you can look at the list and easily see what you have without having to put on gloves and shuffle through everything with the door open losing cold.
