The back country butcher shop that we go to has better meats, better selection, and better prices than any regular grocery store, including the 2 Wally Worlds that are closer. lol
So needless to say, lol that’s where go!
It’s only a couple of minutes drive further to them

Eww, Walmart meat, no bueno. I refuse, lol.
That’s actually a lie. Two years ago I was grocery shopping hungry(big mistake, I know), and happened to find myself at the meat. Big cowboy ribeye, decent price, cut and marbling looked decent enough. Couldn’t resist. I reverse did a reverse sear and it turned out pretty damn good.

We do go to WallyWorld, a lot, lol but it’s for bulk items mostly. Meats? oh hell no!
Bread, coffee, fruits & veggies etc

Yeah, we only end up at Walmart if we cant find the bulk at Sam’s Club. And if I have to eat any other hamburger meat than that from the packer spoken about previously…it don’t taste right. My wife’s east coast family sends me big boxes of Omaha Steak Co. stuff for my birthday every year. Even that stuff.

Yeah Walmart has gotten so expensive with their meat prices anyway, at least they used to be cheap! My hometown grocery has better prices even full price. With the sales there and the discount meat actually half off and not .25 off a big pack like Walmart i don’t even try

Never heard em called that lol but as long as they were ‘fist sized’ & slathered in butter, I’d certainly eat them, buttermilk or sourdough lol
hell lol even ‘regular’ or standard biscuits, for that matter!
I always hated those tiny things some folk called ‘biscuits’

After that, as long as the cook knows how to brown the flower to just the right smell. You got good eating right there. It’s gotta be one of my favorite dishes.
Of course the fact that about five years ago I’m told that I agreed to eat better, which meant cutting out starches…
I miss biscuits and gravy…
Hash is good. lol

I ain’t stopping enjoying my food for nothing! I just eat less, one helping, no seconds. The single helping is reduced also, but… I’m gonna damn sure eat what I want/like!
I’ve dropped almost 60lbs in the past 4-5 yrs eating that way
Went from 6’4" 275lbs down to about 215lbs

I’m lucky and, from what I’ve read, you are too. My wife is such a good cook that she can even make food that’s good for you taste good.

Yeah, this woman here tries the same, but some things just aren’t the same. Like using margarine instead of butter in her cakes etc
She gave up on that when I wouldn’t eat the ‘healthier’ stuff and it just goes to waste
I’ll take a lot of abuse lol just don’t go messing with my food!
I’ve gone from eating a whole cake & a gallon of milk in one sitting, to just a glass of milk and a single-serve slice of cake…
but it still has to be ‘the good stuff’!
We made that compromise years ago, after I fell, shattered my spine and went from super active to almost complete inactive

Bro! Margarine is not near as good for you as unprocessed butter anyway! We use goat butter. There is a group of locals that trade foodstuffs that we all produce. You are right. Meat from big chain industry is not healthy for you. It is an unfortunate necessity for most though. They don’t live our kind of life.

I ate the same as I did when active, and went from 200-210 up to 275 lol That’s when she decided I was gonna eat healthy. I just used some self control and refrained from going back for 2nds or 3rds lol
She’s happy with that compromise

I can’t, nope, no way lol gotta have meat to be considered a meal. I can’t survive on celery and lettuce!
But I agree totally with that
Don’t misunderstand me, I like veggies too, just as a part of the sides not the main course! lol I’m sorry (NOT) but I’m no vegetarian

Out of all the things I miss in my old lifestyle, getting out hunting and fishing is what I miss most! Back on the coast, I did crop damage control for friends and family that didn’t allow hunting on their lands. One year I processed like 17 deer total, giving over half of it to ‘Hunters for the hungry’
I didn’t take out any ‘trophy’ deer, just culled the herds
