To try lamb without the high price,

you might buy the blade chops. The cuts of lamb I've had have been very rich and high in fat, and I highly recommend putting at least rosemary on it. It will smell like something a chef would make.

I have never tried lamb...

I wouldn't even know how to cook it.  All I see in the stores here are these teeny little lamb chops that contain maybe an ounce of meat and they are WICKED expensive.  Never having cooked it (or eaten it) before, it's too expensive for me to screw up or not like.  We have a deer farmer down the road who let me try some deer tenderloin and it was gross.  Too dry for me and had NO flavor.  I actually like my meat with some fat on it.  I drive the butcher nuts requesting pork roasts with actual FAT on them.  It's the only way to make good gravy doncha know! 


I actually learned what "chitlin's" were (I don't know how to spell it) on one of those Food Network shows....I think it was when Alton Brown went on the road on his motorcycle to some southern places.  Yeah, can't say I'd be willing to pop that down my gullet at all.  Despite having Ellie for a pet, I do love pork though. 


My dad, um, "did time" in a prison down south for what has always remained a mystery, and he was a cook there.  As a fearless kid, he was the one who would feed me weird things like pigs feet, pickled watermelon rind, jambalaya, fried chicken gizzards and hearts, the calves liver with bacon and onions, all sorts of seafood, cheap caviar, and even escargot, which of course grossed my mother and older siblings out.  He was a fantastic cook.  A bonafide mental case, which is where I get my streak of craziness from, but a darned fine cook. 



I did try lamb and rice
i went to the site you linked - oh my gosh i wish i had not!!!  i want to rescue them all!!  but i would take * Wonder * in a second if i could.  i see he has sponsors but i may contact the rescue and see if i could donate to his care.  his story just made me cry 
Maybe it was lamb, Greek to me! ##
.
the last time I held a leg of lamb...

it was frozen, from New Zealand....I just cradled it in my arms like a baby for a minute....$54.98...so I put it back in the freezer for the rich folk.


You'd really like lamb...it's got a very sweet taste.


Now, about the deer tenderloins....whoever served them to you didn't know how to season them correctly, bkz that is the best part.. Cat


     


I had Greek yesterday, but they did not have any lamb
settled for beef Gyro ? plate with Greek Salad, Rice, Yummy.

I first tried it (lamb) in London..Pretty good, sweet tasting though, like you say, Cat.

Soul Food Cookers like to cook lamp with collards, etc. Red Beans & Rice... Huh?
I like lamb smothered in rosemary
and thyme. Mmmmmm.
A GREEK restaurant with no lamb???--sm
not really GREEK then. geez. I LOVE real greek gyros!! yum!

as far as venison tenderloin, it depends on the age of the deer that was killed, how it was dressed and how soon, and most particularly on the COOK! The best meal I ever had was venison stew by someone who KNEW how to cook it!!! y'all made me hungry now. thanks!

Two come to mind, a lamb's wool mattress topper - sm
for my mom that I knew she really, really wanted so I saved up (over $200 and I was in college at the time so not a lot of $ to go around), sent in a money order to Sharper Image and got it. The other was this great antique RCA mirror for my DH (he collects antique RCA signs and such), very unique, he loved it, and it hangs in our living room now.
I could never put a price on that.

and the price is going up! nm

Not sure of price
I got mine years ago but my son just bought one and I think he might have spent around $100. Still worth the price since it wouldn't take Direct TV long to eat up $100.

price of
Hedge funds setting the price of oil worries me a lot more.
Price tags
Did they have the items priced with tags? I hate it when I go to a sale and no prices on items. I have had a few sales and always price items. It helps, but there are still the hagglers which drives me nuts. If you can afford a quarter, you can probably afford fifty cents. LOL.
Don't know what price range
you're looking at, but my husband is a vet, not in private practice anymore, and people used to give him gift certificates to Omaha Steaks, which he loved, and sometimes gave them himself to clients.  I think sometimes they run specials on their website and could maybe get something for under 50 or 40.  Another thing he really liked when in private practice, but he was large animal kind of out in the boonies, was Schwann's (sp).  He said he used to keep a refrigerator with  food and treats from Schwann's in case he couldn't leave and his people had to stay over to help.
If the descrepancy in price was not there....
they would have to. So long as MTs anywhere are willing to work for 3 to 4 cpl, quality will always be sacrificed. There are US companies that will take the cheapest MTs they can get, without worrying about quality, and those MTs don't make the corrections either. As long as anyone can offer the service at such drastically reduced prices, end users will sacrifice quality for price when cost is to the driving factor.

Look at generic foods. Most people by foods based on taste first, price second. Generic foods have had to increase their taste (quality) to be able to compete. The savings they gain are in lack of advertising, which they pass on to the consumer, which is how they undercut prices on the shelf. In the MT world, the cost was low enough that the end consumer was willing to sacrifice quality. Now, the US provider is having to compete with that cost profile, ergo the downturn in our ability to make $$. They are willing to sacrifice sentence structure, etc, so long as certain items are met to take the lower cost. So long as the lower cost drives an industry where the end consumer is willing to sacrifice quality, cost will always be the driving factor. Therefore, if the offshore (and low-paying US)MTSOs would increase their price, quality would become the primary difference, and MOST substandard MTs in all countries would simply find nobody willing to use their services, which would only benefit the industry regardless of the individual's geographic location.
Umm... what's that got to do with the price of eggs?
That was a pretty off-subject, incoherent rant.
Have you seen the price of Spam? sm
I don't think it is economical, especially given what is in it. I also remember when you got ham in a funny shaped can and whole chickens too.

as the to reference to Spamolot, which is now a Broadway musical...

I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay, I sleep all night and I work all day. Then something about on Tuedays I go to town in mummy's panties and a bra!

I love Monty Python.
Yep. OIl companies don't like the price low.

They cut production to get the prices up again. If we're not _____ by the oil nations, we're ____ by the American oil companies. G-R-E-E-D is the name of the game in the last few years.


Government tells us to cut our driving. Well, I hate to tell them but between a pickup and a car, we drove a total of  5,838 miles last year, and most of that mileage was 100 miles a day for DH to go to work. I get to the store once a month anymore, 2 mile round trip. The only thing I can cut down on is to walk to the store and back. Been there done that, but I'm no spring chicken and carrying 5 bags or more, well....you'd see a bag every 100 feet.


 


usually it's half price
But most places you sneak food rather than pay :)
Just cuz of the price doesn't always mean it is
the best product. I have watched many segments on talk shows that prove the same ingredients are in expensive products as well as inexpensive products, and some of these products don't work at all. I'm not saying there aren't some really good products out there, but Suave does just as good a job on my hair as anything else on the market.
I'll add mine so someone can get 3 for the price of 1! ...nm

Any VW owners know price of a radiator & fan? (sm)

My car broke down this afternoon!  I heard a loud noise like I had run over something, pulled over and saw all the coolant and water pouring from my radiator.  The fan broke and a blade went into the radiator.  I pulled inrto the nearest repair shop (lucky for me one was really close) and they gave me an estimate of $1200!!!!  My husband had it towed to a mechanic he uses, but I am curious since my car is a VW how much should it cost to get this fixed??


 


 


One can't put a price tag on what Christmas really means but...sm
if we didn't set limits/budgets in our household then we'd end up spending a cazillion bucks on the season. Having limits set helps keeps us on track of not getting carried away buying gifts yet lets us purchase gifts for people to Celebrate the season.... just as the wise men took gifts when Jesus was born to celebrate his birth. Setting limits gives everyone who is buying in our family line parameters for what kind of gifts they need to look at. Fortunately no one in our family line needs anything per se but that doesn't mean you shouldn't give them a gift. We do buy gifts in addition for foster kids and that comes from a different section of our family budget.
what price range...I see they are very expensive
I need a great shampooer.
What is the weather, What is the price, size, etc. sm
I am freezing up here. Would love to be able to buy and not rent.
I got you beat on the price you paid
I will not tell you what year I bought my home but it was 15,500. Yep, 2 bedrooms, 1 bath and stayed for a long time. Sold about a year or so ago for 165,000. I had added on over the years and had 2 baths and 3 bedrooms when sold plus other updates. Pretty good profit, huh?
It is supposed to triple in price s/m
in Michigan.  Our local store informed us that as of April 1st, our $18 bag that we get will triple and is now taking orders for people to stock up (apparently you can freeze it).  I personally do not smoke, but my DH does.  He rolls as well and I'm just a person that stakes out the prices, LOL.  He said that he wants to preorder several bags and plans on slowly quitting.  He has tried the patches, gum, medication, etc, but I think in the long run, pricing will be what does it!  Yeah for me! 
Geez. I've never seen that price.

We have a produce store right down the street. They sell dairy, meats, breads, snacks, canned good, but the produce is what I go for.


Bananas are usually 3 lb. for $1, red peppers in the winter are 2 for $1, green 3 and sometimes 4 for $1, packaged radishes 3 bags for $1, lemons and limes 6 for $1, apples are $1 a basket, and globe tomatoes are 2 pints for $1. Fresh white mushrooms are 99 cents a pound and portabellos are $1.99 a pound (expensive in my eyes but fresh). cukes 4 for $1.  They have fresh zuchini, egglant, yellow squash, yellow and orange peppers, asparagus, fresh herbs, you name it. Oh, they did up the price on lettuce and celery. They used to be 2 for $1 and now they're $1 a piece. They sell potatoes loose or by the basket, usually no more than $1.50. A 50 pound bag of red or white potatoes last week was $11.95.


They also sell bread at 2 loaves for $1.75. It used to be 2 loaves for $1.25.


I love this store but if I don't get there as soon as they open, I can't get in. It gets packed and there's not a parking spot to be found. Gee, wonder why?


Are you kidding?? That's a GREAT price. I'm going to Target. (sm)
Oh, the hot tub scene was great!  I first thought it was blood, though, and I thought she got her period.  Maybe the color on my TV is off?
you need to buy the brush to put it on, total price for the first time is $28
you can apply it in two different ways, one way in which you let your moisturizer dry and the put it on and another is use a bit of moisturizer to get that "dewy" look. Also you should always start off with less (at least with our brand) because it is layerable for a fuller-coverage. Also there are 6 different shades to choose from so you should be able to find a perfect match.
Asking you experts - where to buy "wireless" headphones, best price???
This is for a Christmas gift for my husband. He loves boxing and I hate it, so I would rather read in peace, Thanks for your help. Don't want "used." So I guess it's actually my gift to myself, I guess!
Love Ray Price's version if you play

NetMed has a price calculator on their website...15 cpl..
called apples to oranges. Shows how they calculate how they charge clients and how they pay per line.
Does anyone know the price of a stamp these days? I have lost track. I have some old ones,
want to mail some cards, but not sure if I can paste enough together to make enough postage? What is the price of one stamp now? Thanks
Try Florida. Lots of foreclosures there, and unfortunately the price of housing is way down.
you should be able to afford something there. Always warm.

My sister just moved there, on the gulf side.
Peronsally, I would rather pay full price than shop on Black Friday.

Wow! That's a high
deductible for such a high premium. If she doesn't go to the dentist very often, I would drop that because that would be a waste of money. I have insurance through State Farm and is around $200 a month with a $2,000 deductible. I rarely go to the doctor and have used my insurance once in the past 4 years but it still goes up every 6 months. If I had my way, I wouldn't even have health insurance but hubby insists I have it. If I were you, I would be checking around. Don't know who your insurance company is but I have State Farm and my hubby has American Family. His is pretty comparable rate wise with mine but I don't think he has a deductible. I get a healthy discount with mine since I don't have health problems. Good luck!
High cholesterol
Join the club.  I, too, have high cholesterol.  I was over 500 last year.  I started Weight Watchers in Jan. of  06 and lost 40# pretty quick.  I am now down to 20# within goal weight and my cholesterol is 160.  I also do oatmeal for breakfast every day, take fish oil pills, garlique, and Cholesterol medication from Dr.  I also have been walking (1-4 miles) at least 4 times a week since starting all of this.  I feel much better.  Last week, though, I had a checkup and I am back up to 358.     I guess you cannot always choose your parents!!  lol  More meds and more exercise. 
60 does some too high.. I pay 60 for shampoo,

Correction......seem too high

That's kind of on the high end where I am at. Do
you live in an area with a higher cost of living?

That's awesome you've found someone you are happy with though. I'm still searching! :)
Are you guys high?!

So I've got this thingy set up to "alert" me whenever my "handle" comes up or the name of the company I work for--and it shows this wacked thread!  


I'd love to see a woman in the White House as well, but definitely not the one currently running.  There's something about her that just rubs me.  Oh yeah, the fact that she's still married to that dickhead for starters. 


I'd vote for Ellen DeGeneres...female, gay (really frost the republicans behinds!)...and most important....A FRIGGIN RIOT!   I'd love to believe that the world's problems could be solved with humor.  It'd be fun to see her give it a shot though.  Jon Stewart would make a great vice president.


If I were president, the White House would have a petting zoo, the rose garden would also have petunias in it, macaroni and cheese would occupy at least 1/4 of the food pyramid.  Camp David would be open to the general public.  All UFO information would be declassified.  Political correctness would be outlawed and greenbud would be legal.  Lastly, public schools would have classes on manners, school uniforms, and corporal punishment...but I guess that goes back to my pervy private fantasies again.... 


                 


 


 


High Fever
Have you tried cool compresses along with the Tylenol? Maybe that'll help. I hope she feels better soon. I have a four year old and it's awful when she's sick. Also, does she have any other symptoms. When my older daughter was young she spiked high fevers a lot and they were always viral infections and you just had to wait it out and give Tylenol or Motrin every six hours to break the fever.

Lower it - 21 is too high
1. Three years is not a huge difference.

2. Most kids are drinking earlier than 21 anyway and nobody is enforcing the law when they get caught drinking under age.

3. It was 18 when I was 18 and there was not a high incidence of drunk driving or whatever reason they have for a drinking age.

4. Germany there is no drinking age and they do not have a high rate of drunk drivers (they have one of the lowest rates of any country).

5. If they are not going to lower the drinking age they should then raise the age of joining the military. Someone tell me that it makes sense that they can't drink til their 21, but at 18 years old in the military they are given guns and can use them.

Some kids will be responsible and some kids won't. I know a lot of people who are in their 20s and 30s and older who are very irresponsible when it comes to drinking - btw, I am 48 years old, not 18, 19, or 20 (and just want the age lowered) :-)
