And meat this week too!

My meat share this week was:
  • 2 packages of ground beef.
  • 1 beef loin t-bone steak.
  • 1 package of ground pork breakfast sausage (excellent-looking omlette material).
  • 1 beef round top round steak.
  • 1 package of chicken breast.
  • 1 package of three Italian sausage.
  • 2 pork fresh boneless ham steaks.
  • 1 beef chuck steak boneless.
  • Plus I arrived in time to buy 2 dozen eggs! Jean: "These eggs are way different than normal eggs." They're better.

Since I went away for about a week in August, I still have some meat from last month left. I have a steak marinating in the fridge. I used to never buy steak because it was so expensive and I didn't know how to cook it, but it keeps getting better. Jean brought a grill pan that makes cooking it far more fun! Sizzzzzle.

I wandered around the farmer's market in Arlington afterwards. I steered clear of most stuff, because we have more food right now than any household should. I stopped at a nice stand that sells shrubs. My condo building does not allow us to have Christmas trees. I'm trying to scam the system and buy a live evergreen plant that I can decorate at Christmas time. The stand had all of these gorgeous evergreens, and it made me sad that I don't have a yard. I told them about my plan, but the wizened head farmer assured me that his trees would die if I tried to keep them inside. Alas. I'll keep looking.
