I'm very happy.

in my area we have plenty of family or hobby farms that sell direct. pork, turkey, chicken and beef. as well as many many many 4-h's who are now are getting a look at real farming perils, as many of the 4-h sales have been cancelled. we also have a few local meat processors that cater to these farms, as well as many wild game processors that have taken on the challenge and are on "you drop off, you pick up" basis. we also have a farm co-op. everything from eggs, breads to cheeses to seasonings and ofc veggies and fruits. for my kitchen, weve been buying this way before this. i have seen changes though, right now most cant get rid of their product fast enough, most prime cuts are left and the ground goes fast. & prices reflect in this. recently weve bought quite a bit of chicken but have been using our freezer stash of beef. i do encourage you that if you find yourself in a meat shortage area, you google, social media ask, or old school yellow page lookup local small business processors, farms, or butchers. and if your looking to start a stash of your own many will share tips and tricks to get started. my extended family loves to support 4-h and this is how i started, it went from a here have a couple pounds ground beef. to i needed a garage freezer because i was given half a cow. although i leave the 4-h supporting to them. we do regularly order from the butcher.

Sounds amazing.

That is so impressive.
I'm so sorry.
I know that you take comfort that he lived such a long and wonderful life.
With an amazing family and marriage.
You are fortunate to have been able to spend so much time with him.
I recall you were always concerned about his well-being.
RIP

I picked up 20lbs (.055 per oz.) of Botan Calrose rice this weekend, this was the first time I have tried Calrose rice, it is a sticky rice which I happen to like. Thanks Soteria 2.0 for needing rice or I would not have found this rice.

Interesting article on Rose rice. They're calling my newfound rice bland, It's gonna take me some time to get this "bland" rice eaten up so I can try the good stuff.
