My name is Hank and I like meat. I also like a good sale and one of my favorite groceries has a sale on meat today. It's been a long time since I left the store with this much meat. It included:
20 lb. chicken leg quarters (38¢/lb.)
4 lb. wild caught salmon ($4.99/lb.)
2 racks (5 lb) baby back ribs ($2.49/lb.)
6 3/4 lb. pork neck bones (89¢/lb.)
11 1/4 lb. fresh picnic (99¢/lb.)
5 3/4 lb semi-boneless chuck ($2.99/lb)
5 lb beef neck bones ($2.29/lb)
Woo! 54 lb. meat and 4 lb. fish! They also had Jonagold apples - my favorite - for 49¢/lb., avocados for 59¢ each.
Now... aside from the problem of what cooker to use for which meat (aside from what will go directly into the freezer) is that wind is at 25 mph and gusting to 50.
Not a good day to fire up the kettle. Maybe I'll start cooking tomorrow. I'll smoke the neck bones and freeze them for making stock down the road. Beef chuck is for Pepper Stout Beef. I'm not sure how I'll do the leg quarters. I like the Jerk chicken recipe but I might use some other rubs as well. They'll all be cooked, portioned and frozen. I'll smoke the picnic for pulled pork. I'll save the bone in that (and the skin) to add to the stock I make with pork neck bones. I could shelter my little WSM and smoke the baby backs today.
