I had gotten a fantastic deal on chicken breasts that month and had bought a case, so we ended up eating quite a bit of chicken.  (I’ll get around to posting the recipes I used sometime). Yesterday I picked up a case of ground beef (40 lbs.) for $35.00, so it ended up costing me $.88 a pound.  I already had one 5 pound chug in the fridge so I’ll be preparing 45 lbs. of meat today and tomorrow.  I have just browned 35 pounds of it.
