Your grocers must have more ethics than ours.  The cheap meat here is
expired.  In fact, some of the stores have what looks like pink hamburger,
but when you open the package the stuff in the middle is all brown and it
looks like they put a thin layer of pink stuff over the brown (is it
possible that this could occur without their intervention?)

The labels at some stores say "ground today!" but there is no date.  Not
even a day of the week.

Lisa!  You've been at this at least several months more than I have.  How
is low carb treating you?  Did you finish building your house?
