Homemade blue cheese everytime.

Thanks guys.  Am thinking of crumbling some blue cheese in it, but also having a side of Jalapeno Green Goddess dressing.

We ate at a Chuy's in Chattanooga on Sunday night.  They had a taco salad and did not offer Catalina that we usually like on our Taco Salads.  They had what they called a creamy jalapeno.  Said it was Ranch, sour cream and puréed jalapenos.  So I am going to try and make that from a scratch Hidden Valley Ranch packet and it will probably end up more of a Jalapeño Green Goddess!

My wife makes a version of this by combining the Hidden Valley ranch dip, tub of (16 oz I believe) sour cream, a washed bunch of cilantro, and a 4 oz can of nacho sliced jalepenos.  She tosses it all in the blender and comes out about the same consistency as ranch dressing (maybe a hair thicker).

Just picked up a 15 lb prime packer from Sam's Club for $3.38 lb. Going on the smoker Thursday night.

I am hoping this is encouraging news...you are in what area of the US?

Just got our Pfizer booster shots and went across the street to Smith's (aka Kroger) and did out shopping.
Here are some of the meat prices:
I did pick up a couple T-Bone's at $7.99/lb since it is wife's birthday in a couple days.
Added a pound of peeled-shrimp, tail on as well.
One advantage on making a birthday meal for someone, you get to enjoy it too.

Meat and mental health: A meta-analysis of meat consumption, depression, and anxiety

I have not read the article however my depression and anxiety has increased because I can only afford to eat chicken the way beef prices have skyrocketed.

I found a 6 lb package of choice dino ribs this morning at Walmart.  They were $4.98 a pound.

$4.99 choice tri tip at Freddy's (Kroger) this past weekend.  I grabbed two that looked prime to me.  The rest were obviously choice or trimmed improperly.  Anyway, I would have grabbed more if I had any room left in the freezer.   I'm full with two turkeys and 15 gigantic drumsticks as I was fearful of supply issues for Thanksgiving.

USDA Select Strip 16.5 lbs. before trim. 12lb. after trim. Normal Restaurant Depot price $8.71, it was on the Bargin table for 25% off, or $6.54/lb.  I think it has pretty decent marbling for Select, I also was sure it was Rib Roast when I trimmed off piece to even up.  USDA Choice Outside Skirt $6.98/lb. (in vac seal bag, 5 individual pieces when opened.)

I have 55oz of the Strip, 68oz of the Skirt and 36oz of the Strip trim that will be ground in about an hour when it firms up in the freezer.  Then I am going to have a Cheeseburger with my blend for dinner!

I see Tostada, Chili Colorado (if I could just find a good flour tortilla) & Cheese Steak in my future with that Strip & Skirt!

Restaurant Depot Choice brisket 4.04/lb. This is the price for 51+ total pounds (case). Don't remember non case weight price.

I am going to our butcher today for the first time in at least a month. I may have to leave our first born or our grandchildren as a down payment
