A Man & His meat - it is a Beautiful Thing.

I am packing up shop, getting ready to leave the office when I get a phone call from the hubby.

"There is a man here selling meat. Can we get some?," he asks.

Whoa. Backup to the part where you explain how that man got there and what kind of meat he is selling us. Hubby proceedes to tell me about this great deal on cases of meat. All flash frozen. All guarenteed for a year. Anything left over past the year mark will be exchanged for fresh stuff.

Okaaayyyyy.

He then goes into the prices. It comes down to steak at $2.16 per serving.

"And these are good size steaks, Steph."

Okkkaaaayyy. Of course hubby wants 2 cases of steaks. I ask for at least a case of chicken or pork or seafood. 104+ pieces of red meat is a bit much. I ask if we can talk about this.

"Nope. One time deal."

Okkkaaay. My head is starting to throb and I am getting weird looks from co-workers. I tell him to use his best judgement and decide on how much to buy. I hang up the phone (mind you, it is now 5:15 PM, traffic is going to be a bitch coming home and it is raining).

I open the door and hubby proudly shows me the 4 cases of meat he bought. A case of each - how could he possible decide?

I think this now trumps the "bacon incident."

What an offensive post for you, ML, huh? Yup! Our deep freeze is FILLED with meat. Cow, pig, chicken and fish. *evil laugh*

Andy came home from working at a meat packaging plant with 25 pounds of pre-cooked bacon. 25 pounds of BACON!!! We ate bacon with everything for months. Bacon burgers, bacon and eggs, BLTs, bacon hot dogs... you name it!

Holy crap. Homer Simpson's fantasy come true...

p.s. I do eat fish on occasion, and...don't tell...turkey at T-giving and Christmas.

That is a CRAZY amount of meat. Seriously crazy. And a lot of bacon. I dcan't wrap my mind around that much meat and bacon. Hope you don't have a power outage.

Holy cow! Kyle would be in heaven. I do admit that the thought of having that much meat in the fridge and not having to go to the store to pick it up all the time sounds great.
