Meat update


many of you have been asking me about our beef, so i thought i should give you an update. firstly, the cost. we ended up spending under $3/lb for 189 lbs of beef. now, keep in mind, we now have cuts of meat we could never afford before (chateau briand recipe anyone?). we do have quite a bit of ground beef, but that was expected. i don't know how long it will take us to get through it since we don't eat meat every day, but i'll let you know. the amount isn't as much as i first expected. i thought it would be so overwhelming, but it's not. a whole cow, i think, would feel like it is too much, but a quarter seems manageable. we bought the smallest size freezer - 5 cubic feet.

oh, and the farmer threw in the heart, liver and tongue for us!
