Pricey Beef Puts Heat on U.S. Grilling Season .

I quit eating beef back in 1994. No more burgers

or steaks or roasts for me. So I havent paid much

attention to beef prices in the stores for a long time.

Apparently Beef is expensive now.

Swearing off beef...or trying to maintain a 'low-fat' low carb diet for whatever reason... Truth of the whole damn thing is that buried deep in our DNA is the carnivore! That ol' ancestor, the hunter, eater of red meat! We hunted and killed, and ate other animals, mostly mammals, which kept us alive.

Eventually, thanks to fire, and pastoral ways we're still here, albeit in a more 'evolved' form, with complex dietary needs, wants...and desires. Thanks to science, we get these mixed messages from "Big Ag" business, and pharma!

"Hey mom, where's the beef?" Beef, it's what's for dinner, dammit! Eat it, or beat it!

Well beef is getting pricey alright. I still enjoy it a couple times per week. Freezing a package or two when the price is right takes a little pressure off the budget. One thing about it if the the brain starts shutting down due to lack of animal protein, Asian carp will likely be readily available for some time, yet.

I can tell you that chicken has taken a price rise as well.
A 4lb whole chicken used to cost $6 and now it
cost $8-9. The reason for the big price hike was the
drought that ruined many harvests in the mid-west
of corn. Every year is different and last year 2012 started
a shortage of "cattle/poulty" feed and meat prices just
shot-up. Think I read an article somewhere about a
"conspiracy" to make meat "harder to come by".
Its a "tough-it-out" situation in so many areas of life
on this planet today. Just keep the whole chickens coming,
I will buy them even if I wince at the pricetag.

Craving the red meat, recently acquired options are being considered eh.

Perhaps costly and time consuming yes.  But if successful, well worth the investments.

I like how a whole cut up chicken is $9 but a whole-whole chicken is $4or 5. 3 boneless breast are $8 but a split breast can be found for $2 to 4.

 Pipes...I've found over the last 20 years that the "whole chicken"

is your "Best Buy". I've learned how to make a whole chicken

into 8-pieces with a "kitchen shears"...a super-sharp pair of

scissors. You heard the expression "cut-up fryer", well it takes

a few minutes in your kitchen sink and it can be messy but

in the end you will have great chicken to work with. Those

assortment paks of chicken pieces in the store can come from

a dozen different chickens. I've found a "lot of tough" mixed

in with the "tender" in those gift paks. Very rarely a whole

chicken isnt the tenderest meat to start out with...just saying.

Had steak the other night couple blocks from mntman & Linda's crib... Local joint, great steaks, baked potato, salad... Fine meal!

Red meat can't be all that bad for ya... Ya gotta mix it up, chicken now and then, fish...veggies, eggs, whole grains...fruits.

Fresh food is best! Gardening can be a full time affair when 'grow your own' is your philosophy, as Krink has found...

What's weird or tragic Uke is that my "whole direction" in gardening got
turned upside-down when Mrs Krink passed away. And what preceeded that
was getting dentures which has completely turned my daily eating into
"with them or without them". I can tell you that eating mashed potatoes
"with dentures" could make you queazy...the texture is not condusive. Take
your teeth out, and mashed potatoes never tasted so good. So it's like
that every day for me. So even though I can grow every vegetable known
to man in my garden space, I opted for a "Sunflower display" in a month
or two. I needed to do something with my garden space and this is whats
its going to be.

 Krink, I also remember Alton Brown saying that a whole chicken is generally going to be alot fresher than a cut up chicken.

Pipes..we are lucky in this time period to be spared all the slaughtering,
plucking, gutting, of the chicken that ended up in your "shrink-wrap"
pack of "bone-less thighs". Know it wasn't that long ago that eating
chicken almost meant "a hunting trip". Somewhere along the line,
man figured out how to make chicken taste so fucking good that
billions want to eat every day.
