Growing up a midwest yankee kid a pork tenderloin pounded out breaded & fried was a common poor boy(not poboy)

Next to those a Merichka's poor boy butter & garlic laden beef cubed steak was a big deal.

Pretty much business as usual here. Actually found a package of hamburger meat at HEB, and it isn't brown in the middle like it usually is. We'll get 3 meals out of that package. Finding frozen chicken at Randall's that was packed same day. I'm thinking we will have spaghetti and meat sauce tonight. We have eggs for omelets, and tortillas for burritos. Sausage links, Elgin style from HEB. What we don't have is bread for all the lunch meat my wife scored, or milk for the cereal.

See if there are any bread stores in your area. Just about all the grocery stores around here, bread was pretty close to depleted. But the wife usually buys most of our bread and buns at the bread store. They had pretty much normal stocks.

Eggs were depleted as well in the stores. She picked up two dozen, and a bag of onions at the local farmer's market. Again, plenty of eggs.

The stores I have been to are about 30% back to normal.

Flour, salt, sugar still very hard to find. Meat in short supply.

Yep. Learned about them in Indiana. Moms side from there. They also owned a DQ and served them. Big deal there.

You’re right. Pellet smokers really are cheating.

And the smoke ring.

Sugar for iced tea is our only item that might be hard to get. But, I told the wife if she couldn't find or get sugar, pick up some limes and I'd drink unsweetened tea instead.

Not a big deal for me.

They can quarantine all they want to, but for the most part, it's not going to impact our lives very much.

Biggest concern, is getting dog and cat food. We are going to go to Tractor Supply tomorrow and pick up a 50 lb. Bag of dog food, and a 25 lb. bag of cat food. That should be enough for two weeks.

We should plan a big Saturday at EZ-E's new place.

Now you're talking!

To All,

Sunday night supper will be 10th Mountain Division style SOS, with fried eggs as a topper.
(I have the PRE-WWI, circa 1910, recipe, if anyone wants it.)

NOTE: SOS was "invented" during the S-A War by the USA to feed breakfast to a LOT of hungry troops on the CHEAP. = By 1910, the 10th INF DIV has "improved" the recipe for MORE flavor.

yours, satx

Only folks east of the Sabine River use sugar in their tea. Not civilized people....

Tacos with corn shells. The better half has been fine tuning the taco spice mix for a couple years. It's on point. I used a pound and a half ground chuck that HEB had on the shelf today. No need to dig into the freezer when you can get it fresh.

Side note. I ordered a vacuum sealer. The C-19 has me thinking of ways to make more go longer. I have plans to use the vacuum sealer to divvy up bigger packs of meat to start. I am also going to dust off the dehydrator. I am going to do potatoes first. I'll put up a couple of pics here when I get there.

Chocolate chip cookies, large, lots of chips and chewy not crumbly.

Oh yeah, I forgot, I took a pic of my breakfast this morning - a three egg feta cheese and onion flake omelette on Jewish rye that was pan toasted in butter. I may as well die with a happy stomach if this Corona crap gets me.

Damn, that was delicious - only things could have made it better would have been bacon and a beer.

My wife’s favorite when she’s been drinking...and we’ve been drinking

Stir fry
Ramen noodles
Veggies

And finally...
Velvet beef - you know how Chinese restaurants have meat that’s super tender? It’s a process called velveting, you put baking soda on the meat for 30 mins to tenderize it, then rinse it off before cooking. Usually used for cheap cuts, but all we have is ribeye so...

Will toss it in a wok in a few.

That’s exactly what I did with the left over brisket.

 

[Lost Spurs]

I'll update with the latest. Rack of "fresh" salmon with some boiled cubed russets. I am reheating some taco meat for the middle boy as he doesnt like fish.

For real connoisseurs

 

[pronstar]

Used some leftover smoked brisket and pork belly, made some Texas Fried Rice (really just a dirty rice).

So good...so easy to make.
