Yesterday a local place had ground beef for $2.50 a pound. Limit 5. Half a pound for this is the first ration. Tomatos and jalapenos from the garden. Taco seasoning from scratch.

Cost per person $2.60

    Frying is pretty rare here because deep frying uses a lot of oil. It’s not a health issue, it’s a cost one.

      Yeah I haven’t deep fried anything in a while. Years ago I had a deep frier and would sift/clean the oil but even then it was just a pain. Now if I fry something I just use pan and then sift it and use it a second time over the next couple days. I don’t make food for more than 2 people though usually. So my pots/pans get to be smaller. I essentially cut/pound out the chicken like cutlets, or make nuggets out of them.

      It’s sad that chicken thighs cost more than chicken breasts now. Apparently people caught on that they also had a lot of good uses…

        Same. Cooking for two and deep frying don’t play well together.

        Buy the whole chicken. Break it down. Eat for a week.

        I really need people to ease up on eating my chicken thighs.
