Saturday my prep day. Today will be the day I set aside for prepping for the week. Julie is planning the meals for the week and we will goto the store. Our food bill cut in half once we had a list and a plan. Taking our new queues from others who have ventrured down this less is more path we also have adjusted our menu aproach. Staples is now the word. Buy the basics and plan your menus around them. Again enough is a feast and when you stray from the plan the treats are all that much more treatier .. (new word accept it). All ready its starting to feel like a stronger and more healing household.
Today is yougurt day so one more gallon of milk is needed. I will be grinding 20 pounds of pork by my count today. I want to do 5 pounds of summer sausage, 5 pounds of breakfast links and 10 pounds of Spicey sausage for links and one pound bullets for Julies Kitchen. I started the new batch of kraut on Thursday night and the granola is still plentiful so that is alot of work I need not do today.
While we are at the store I will look for whats on sale. If I see something fun and cheap for the dehydrator then Ill be cutting and drying today as well.
Tomorrow is Big Game Day so there will be a small crowd here Taco Bar is always a favorite perhaps this year Ill start the grill and make some sausages. Its good to get feedback on the meat flavoring. Also the long awaited Vacuumm sealer will arrive and I can pack all of our stuff properly. I wonder if Julie will let me put Ellas Acre Stickers on my packs of sausage.
I can feel her eyes rolling all ready.
