>We have a bison farm nearby....
Awww, MAN! I'm jealous. Do they butcher the meat on site, by chance? If
so, see if you can get bones and other 'leftovers' at a good price. Great
for stock!
Speaking of which (a tip for you and perhaps some others), I'm on a chicken
stock kick at the moment. Homemake chicken stock is delicious all by itself
(nice winter treat, no?) and great, of course, for soups. I found whole
chickens half off recently. For a bird costing about $2.50 I got:
~ eight cups of stock (thicker than I've ever seen -- I could probably add
water and get ten cups still great for soup)
~ a good portion of pulled chicken (great to put in salads, toss in with
sauteed veggies, etc.)
~ plenty of fat and skin for Bart, my killer chihuahua; enough for two days!
If purchased separately, the above items would easily have come to $14.00
and the canned stock would have SUCKED!
You'll find as you go along there a many ways to stretch the food budget. I
feel good about generating less waste -- fewer boxes and, in my case, no
bottles. Love your mother! (earth)
