Pomp rig with fish bites and fresh dead shrimp or catch sand fleas and ghost shrimp. Gotcha chrome with orange head. Miro jerk bait white with red head. Gold or silver spoon of choice. If the surf allows a top water, popping pork with shrimp under it, or Carolina rig with live shrimp or minnow.

I was thinking about just going full send and getting another KitchenAid Mixer and getting a meat grinder attachment to go with it


I did this at first and broke the gears in my mixer.

get a dedicated meat grinder instead.


Do this. I got a LEM big bite #12 and have loved it so far.

Yeah not sure about this one


It has its place for a few things I do. For instance chicken breast and thick cut pork chops are leaps and bounds more juicy than any other way since you cook to the exact temp that you want. You also have the benefit of pasteurization so you can cook breast lower than 160-170 and kill any bad pathogens because you can hold it at 150 for 1hr and that kills the same as 160 for 1 second.

2 chicken thighs each (sous vide them and use the drippings to make a pan sauce for them), steamed broccoli, and a sweet potato. 6-7 bucks for 2 people.

t's not that expensive hoss

Let's just run the numbers for 1 person for 180-200 g protein a day (I knows this because I eat it 5-6 days a week)

3.5 lbs of chicken breast - $15-$17 - 350 g proetin
2 lbs 99/1 turkey ground - $12 - 225 g protein
18 pasture raised eggs - $9 - 92 g protein
3.5 lbs of top sirloin - $35 - 300 g protein
2 cans of beans - $2.50 - 48 g protein
1 Gallon Choc Milk - $5 - 128 g protein







Even some of your numbers are high. Right now Alberton's has boneless skinless chicken Brest for 1.99/lb (goes as low as 1.70/lb) so you would be 1/2 of your price. Super one has top sirloin for 5/lb (buy a grinder) 1/2 your price.

And stop eating steak if you don't want to pay for it, Ground Chicken at HEB is $3.70 a lbs. Ground Beef can be 25% off in the mornings and is like $6 a pound for 93/7


Get a grinder now you can have ground chicken as low as 1.70-1.99/lb. Also ground top sirloin for 5/lb or less. Or buy a choice brisket for 3-4 bucks per lb and break it down and grind. Now you have cheaper ground meat that you can control the fat content. Take the extra fat to grind with more lean cuts that go on sale or render it for tallow.

It can be done it just takes a little effort and planning. Get the Flipp app it has all the sales flyers for places you want in one spot that you can search out the food items. I mainly use it for the proteins because thats usually the big part of the bill.

Seems unrealistic


It is possible you just can buy a steamer bag of frozen broccoli in the freezer section to do it. You have to actually just buy a fresh head and chop it yourself. Every time a food item is broken down the cost goes up along side convivence.
quote:

I meal prep every week and eating healthy and lean foods is not cheap at all. Buying steaks, chicken, and sausage for the meat parts of my food pisses me off at what they cost, especially the steaks.


Yall need to get the Flipp app and look for the sales. I can get boneless skinless thighs and Brest for 1.77/lb (Alberton's) and I just bought a whole USDA prime loin (from Rouses to dry age and cut for steaks) for 9.99/lb. Shop the sales, vacuum pack/freeze in bulk. Also get a grinder to snag lean cuts when on sale to do the same for your ground meat needs.

This! Its the only thing that worked well for me. Put it on by 8pm the night before and hydrate.

So is this list in effect now/immediately?


I dont think so? I think it still has to open up for public comments? I was going to let it simmer a bit and see what info comes out. I took advantage of the pistol brace frickery and SBRed 11 of my pistols for free and no engraving but id be glad to not have to ask permission to cross state lines with them.

NOOOOOOOO!!!!!! me want an official Russian AK!!!!!


Yea at first I thought id possibly be able to get a SVD Dragunov for not 9k. but nope. I had read about the Russian ban the night of and bought up some other Molot's for 999 a pop.

Allstate does it but it’s only for 50 trips. You can check your trip to see if it’s good or bad and decide to keep or delete it. Then you just turn it off until close to renewal.

I made some Vidalia onion ice cream before that was actually pretty damn good so I would probably try it. Not saying I think it’ll be good, but at least give it a shot :lol:
I been using schmaltz (rendered chicken fat) for my C&S gumbo roux instead of the regular oils. I like to try to use the rendered animal fat of the protein in all of those type of dishes when I can.

Day late dollah short on that tidbit amigo :lol:

It was like 15lbs of heads or something like that I had the oven loaded up with sheet pans :lol:

What say you people?


Yes, do it, but also get ready for the wtf is that smell look from the wife, if that's a factor for you.

I popped the heads off an ice chest of shrimp for storage and made some stock with all the heads. Roasted them in the oven and the house had a nice shrimp smell when the ol lady got home :lol:
