Ugh, which is why I don't eat meat or
questionable meat-by-products.
but how does it change the meat?
By the way--cattle are slaughtered past the age of two. When old cull cows are made into hamburger, they add back fat from younger cattle because the fat on the older cows is yellow and people would not eat it. I also know that cattle eat things other than grass. We still graze cattle on grass land and manage our pastures well. (Western states also have public grazing land and some even graze the desert.)It is only cost effective to the cow-calf producers who do not feed grain. Slapping a grass-fed tag on beef and calling it a niche market makes it more expensive for the consumer and is controversial to me. Feed lots do not keep cattle off of grass land. We must keep in mind that this country must manage beef somehow because of how much we consume and export. Beef is a valuable commodity and a big business. If it could be handled in a way that was more cost effective, it would be.
Not around here, and glad.....I don't *do* meat scraps! lol

What's the best cut of meat for homemade philly...
steak subs? Our family loves them and we usually buy the frozen philly cheese steak meat...but I just can't stomach the smell of it even cooking anymore because it is sooooo greasy. I want to try to make some homemade from a fresh cut of meat. Any suggestions? Thanks!!
Canned meat - the spinach of Dog

I caught the blues when trying to eat the red meat
because husband is a health food junkie and I think sometimes he expects the same of me. I love steak but hardly eat-are shrimp bad for someone who has high cholesterol? He eats fish- I don’t care for- fish is fish is fish to me- all taste alike except for the shrimp with the sauce and horse radish in it- yummy! My physician when I mentioned about my cholesterol told me to tell hubs to leave alone- mine was excellent and I could eat most anything. So there, man of the house!!
Too afraid of meat in restaurants now sm
Their meat may be old (sorry). If we do go, will only go to very busy place as even some bought at market are questionable. We have gift certificates which we appreciate as they are from busy places. Sometimes we have a "UFO" party. Unidentified freezer objects - if they're too old we throw them out. Buying light these days.Takes common sense, hopefully things will turn around in ཅ but for now I am being extremely careful and not loading up on meat either unless we intend to eat it soon. Perhaps I'm too cautious but things are rough right now for everyone, even the markets, restaurants, etc. I sure hope the turkeys are okay, even in good times we've gotten "bad ones" - have to open them up and be sure. Martha likes to brine hers in salt water - not a bad idea these days to check them out before it's too late the day of or the day before. Fresh is best - wish we had our own farm as some do.
How easy would it be for you to give up meat?
All forms of meat - beef, pork, chicken, venison....and anything else I'm missing.
It wouldn't be too hard for me.
me hungry... me eat meat....arghhh
One time I ate a beef rib and got an artery. That made me so sick. Yet, I did not stop eating meat. I have seen a deer gutted in my front yard and it did make me sick, but I ate him. I saw how they treat chickens and blah blah blah, but I still eat MEAT. I must be some kind of psycho! Nope, just human. We need protein. I just have to lay off the cow. Although I will say that I am picky and will not eat fat, arteries, skin, or anything else that just isnt pure meat.
Do you eat hot dogs? meat scraps, pig lips, etc.

Sort of - I generlly buy some hamberger meat, and whatever - sm
is on sale and bring it home for 2 or 3 days worth of meals. My DH does 95% of the cooking. We generally buy what is on sale, whole chickens, thighs/breasts, pork chops, have tacos, I do pot roasts now and then. My mom used to make out a weekly list every Wednesday or so, and do the weekly shopping Thursday after work. We would drop about $100, this was in the late 80s/through 90s. My DH is actually better at shopping than I am and comes home with a lot for $50. Scan the food ads and plan around them, best way (and cheapest) way to do it.
Again, the end times. I'm sorry, but what other explanation is there? Steroids in our meat? I don

looking for a spagetti sauce recipe without meat.
Does anyone have a tomato sauce recipe without meat? The only reciipe I have calls for ground up beef. I am serving chicken cutlets and spagetti on the side. My DD inlaws to be is coming to dinner so I want it to be perfect.
Sauce can be for crockpot or stove.
Thanks. I always enjoy the recipes on this board.
Cracklins have a little more meat attached, only difference.

This veg head never uses meat in stuffing, or chicken broth. nm

My SIL makes it this way and the meat basically falls off of the bone.
I know that once she gets the pork seasoned, she puts in a small roasting pan and then sets it in a "bano maria" at 250 degrees like for 10-12 hours depending on the size. I will see if I can get the recipe from her. As far as the seasoning, it all depends which way you want it, for Cuban style mojo seasoning, it can be bought already made in a bottle at the grocery's store in the international food section, probably Goya brand. Then, there is the other seasoning with the oregano, salt, vinegar, garlic, black pepper, and olive oil.
Could be gallbladder, maybe diabetes. Cut out the meat and fats for a few days and

Some folks just take for granted that they can walk into a market and shop for meat...We've done the same for similar reasons as you and nothing was wasted. At least you're self sufficient!!! And, I bet you've put up/canned/frozen all the vegetables from the summer/fall harvest.
Didn't mean to be flippant in my earlier post...whack it, hack it, pack it and stack it...  Cat
Thank goodness!
Oy.
Oh my goodness...
Can nothing be said on this board without having someone saying something uncalled for??? What is wrong with you? The original poster came here with an honest question and you attacked. Sometimes things happen in life that we honestly have no control over and that includes with our children, as unfair as that may be. I know several people who don't have their kids living with them for one reason or another and the last thing they need is someone saying "what is wrong with you." I'm sure you're perfect but the rest of us aren't so I guess you should probably learn to live with it and maybe take some life advice from Thumper, if you can't say something nice don't say nothing at all...
Thank goodness for that! sm
I am so glad to hear it was not a spider bite and definitely not the brown recluse. You are so lucky. I am happy to hear you have a better prognosis. I am also glad you went to the doc!!! Have a good day!
oh! thanks goodness! I do not have tv on--sm
so this is great news!!! Thanks for sharing.
Thank goodness!
Now maybe it can be an actual competition instead of a freakshow! Let's see what Vote for the Worst has to say now!
Thank goodness!!!
I use to love her on her old talk show she was so funny, now she is just a bitter woman.
Oh, my goodness!
I was told about the boogie man, mother was sorta mystic type person and she wrote a book 1 time about the demons in her home, had priest to come and shake the holy water all over. Guess what? I am fine, ok, never been in trouble with the law, have good marriage, grown kids. Oh, by the way, I also got whippings (so did my husband) and we have turned out alright. I saw the other day where Billy Grahams wife also disciplined her children by spanking. Good for her!! Your mother probably also heard the child calling them worms- each side deserves respect, not just the kids. I am so sick and tired of what went wrong in years past when the kids now days are basically out of control. Thank goodness I do not have any more to raise. People now letting the kids get the upper hand and just look around you to see what is happening. There has never been a time in history as bad as it is now with the kids running the show. Sad.
Oh Goodness, it would
take forever, I really should write a book. Just a little for now. I started with Squeaky, a black and white kitten I adopted in front of a supermarket from a kid with a box of kittens. She was the last one left and rather ugly and I thought who would adopt this ugly little critter, and then decided I would. Once I made the decision, she suddenly became gorgeous. I worked at home at the time, she was a tiny thing and became very attached to me, definitely a one person cat. When I started working in the office, she didn't like that and was bored alone at home and get into mischief. I would come home and find kitchen cabinets and drawers all opened up and the toilet paper unrolled all over the apartment. I thought of a getting her a buddy, and wound up getting Button, a blue and white kitten with gorgeous aqua eyes. I lost Button at 13 from Lymphosarcoma, and Squeaky to old age at 17.5 years. I still miss them both. Button was my first cat I ever showed, she did very well. I still do rescue, and also breed the Somali cat and show them also. Made a lot of friends in the cat fancy and it is fun just to get away from the house/office here and there and socialize. Right now, my shows cats in Somali's are Cutey, Lwaxana, Arwen and mixed breeds Sisko, Kasidy, Julian, and lela Dax, but I don't show them all at the same time, too expensive. In fact, we have a show in NJ next weekend, I am looking forward to it.
Oh, my goodness...sm
it's still running pretty close to 100 here in Tucson, AZ!
Well, then that changes everything! My goodness.
I may have gotten into my car and chased her down! :D
Wow.
oh goodness!
Such a nasty kitty! I guess he is kinda grumpy in his old age!
Thank Goodness
I knew it was going to happen sooner or later. Hopefully she'll get the help she needs. I actually think Kevin is a better parent from what I've heard. Of course I don't kown him or what may go on, but he's gone on the record saying that he doesn't go out dragging the kids around for photo ops and keep they out until the early morning hours. Brittany's parents from what I've seen recently on keeping close tabs on the children and have been seen at Kevin's house (boy do I watch too many tabloid reports LOL). In any event, I hope those poor kids can start having somewhat of a settled life (as settled as it can be in this situation)
Thank goodness!
You must have used that name to sign off on another post at one time and somehow it came back when you wrote this latest post. This has happened to me before and I don't know how/why it happens. I'm just glad to know you didn't mean to be mean-spirited. This poor lady needs all our sympathy and care right now.
Thank goodness -
I asked DH (he reads everything news about 16 hours out of the day) if he has heard of japanese people eating babies in the news and he started laughing and said its a hoax. Talk about feeling stupid for believing something like this. Why would anyone start such a disgusting hoax anyway! There are some truly sick minds out there. These are probably the same people who create computer viruses. I just don't get it.
Thank goodness!!! nm

OH MY GOODNESS!!!...sm
He is so beautiful!!! I love his color and his face is just gorgeous!
Thank goodness
I thought we were the ones losing it. Like we were just big eaters or something, which I know in my head isn't the case. It's nice to know others go through these things. Hard boiled eggs are another good idea. I could just say it's something my mom makes and I can't have a Thanksgiving without them.
Goodness!
That is great that you animal rescue! I rescued a full-grown PITBULL that is just my big baby. Nothing mean about him at all. It is a shame you feel that way about pitbulls because they are honestly what people make them. You can see my beautiful rescued pitbull and read his story here: http://www.dogster.com/dogs/600278
It's bad enough, but then when you see the pic, oh my goodness!!! nm

Watching tonight, not going to give away any secrets but so far there have been 4 performers and usually 1 sticks out far. I seriously am having trouble finding a bad 1 out of the 4. Well, how many more to go tonight, 13 total, 4 already.
Oh my goodness! I am sorry you sm
have to make this decision whatever it is! I couldn't watch it but would if I could, YES! I just know for myself I would never make it through it. If you can stand it and you think it will bring you some kind of.........whatever...closure isn't the right word, I don't know what the right word is, then by all means you do what you think you have to do and can do. I don't think there is any right or wrong to this.

For my own self, because I know I couldn't do it, I might try to find someone to "stand in" for me.

I rescued a cat last year out from under a office house at a park and brought her home and she licks plastic bags too. I thought what weird abberant behavior. I have had lots of cats and never seen this happen before, glad to know she is not alone. Minute plastic bags come in, she runs over to lick them.
oh my goodness.....
I just watched Marley & Me a few days ago and I recommend NEVER to watch that movie when you're missing your doggy who has disappeared! I was BAWLING...
anyway, but they said that in the movie, that sometimes a dog will "know" and leave. He just happened to break free of his confines, which he does at least once every year, he's a husky and its in him to run I guess, lol...but yes, the uncertainty is definitely the hardest. I check out by his fave laying spot in the shade every day, because in the past when he's gotten out, he's usually gone late at night and back by afternoon the next day sleeping in his fave spot, but nothing. :(
One of the women who saw him the first day he was gone said he looked hurt, but I think that's more from his limp from his arthritis in the hips. She said she gave him water and tried to feed him, but he just drank some water and didn't want the food. I was so greatful that someone tried to help him, but she said when she returned from her son's sport game my doggy was gone and never touched the food. Again, that was over a month ago, on Saturday it will be 5 weeks that he has been gone.
:(
Well thank goodness...sm
 I was wondering what to do with all the bee droppings lying around my house.
Thank Goodness
So glad to hear he's okay.
Goodness, I didn't mean to indicate
it was the end of the world, a lot worse things happen, as evidenced by the VA incident yesterday, and worse things have happened to me and my family.
I realize that lice can be picked up anywhere, I just thought there was a good chance that she got it from the girl she sat next to who had it and who my daughter hugged and exchanged hats with, and as I found out, the kids from that family had been sent home numerous times and told to deal with the problem. No biggie, just had a confidential conversation with the principal and teacher, and evidently he agreed. Probably not a good idea to have to close down a school for a week because all the students, the teacher's and everybody's families have lice, as a school in the same state had to do. Good thing they all probably had PTO to cover it. I did have to keep her home for a couple of days to get the live ones cleared out because her hair is so thick. No, I didn't go screaming insanely down the street to the world, didn't tell anyone except those I thought needed to know, like the friend's mother, and didn't even act upset in front of my daughter, just said it's okay, we'll get through it. And as I said, the teachers gave out instructions on coats, hats, etc., and then began to send home a note when they knew it was around, which I think is appropriate, just as they did when the flu bug was going around heavily and even had to close the school a couple of times. I know the administration has better things to do, I grew up with a father who was a school administrator, and I know what headaches he had to deal with, but yes I would have pulled my daughter out of school if I thought it was going to be an ongoing issue. Thanks, was just trying to join in the conversation with my experience and tips.
