2 Pork Butts costs me $84 at Publix over the weekend. Ho Lee Shiz, what is up with pork prices lately...

It’s all meat not just pork. SRF Briskets start at like $200 now. That’s too d@mn rich for my blood unless it’s a super special occasion. They were about $130 back in January and even then I had to bite my lip and press order submit. In February I bought a 12lb pork butt for $18, now that same one is $40

In SRF defense their black start at $209 because all they have left is the 20+ pounders.  I ordered (2) 14-16 pounders at $149/each (before the discount).

Oh, I just clicked on briskets and saw they start at $209 so I figured it was for the 9lb ones. My bad.

SRF brisket prices have not moved but as noted above, their supply has been heavily depleted.  Since they are a cradle to grave operation they have not jacked the prices yet-but I can't imagine them not reacting to the heavy demand.  FWIW-

i should get the easypass but have been lazy about it, the cash line last summer was actually quicker, so i ask for 20 one dollar bills now each week to keep them on hand

But that's not enough to make it rain.

Dammit.  I've been diving down the fermented sausage rabbit-hole and the main ingredient is pork.  Could I have found a worse time to get into pork sausage?  Probably not.

It sounds similar to baking ingredients right now. Every place locally is sold out of active dry yeast.

That has arrested by fall down this particular rabbit hole as well. I’m kind of high centered at the moment.

In other news I realized about 4:30 this afternoon that pretty much all the work I’ve done since about 1:30 is fundamentally flawed and I have to redo it. 

Oh well, nothing wine and time won’t fix...

My meat guy‘s briskets went from $2.99/lb to $6.59/lb for prime.  

Yikes

Cushion is still pretty cheap as most people don't know what to do with it

I've been drooling at all your crawfish boils (which I can't even get here frozen) for years.  Kwitcherbellyaching!

@ SciAggie- Who would even venture to raise a challenge?  Hopefully not SWMBO and a critique of your incredible outdoor adult playground.  Dang- 

SciAggie

@lousubcap Ah, it’s not a big deal. I’m doing some work for school and I screwed up some work I was doing. Totally my fault and not a big deal other than having to redo the work. Life is like that.

True story, so earlier my daughter grabbed a Kings Hawaiian roll out of the bread box and ran off with it. My daughter is six years old. So she came back into the room shortly after that and she didn’t have the roll in her hand. At that point I said “sweetheart where is your king Hawaiian roll?” she proceeded to pull it out of her pants and then I uttered possibly one of the single greatest dad joke one liners in the history of dad jokes and I said “oh my God sweetheart don’t put that down there you’ll get a yeast infection“ my daughter obviously didn’t get it, but my wife might have peed her pants a little

Sat and ate at Santa Catarina in Lakeway.  I had the taquitos dorados with chipotle, wife had fajita nachos. Both of us had a couple skinny, spicey Mexican martinis. First sit down meal since early March and we blew $50 on booze. I'll say, my stomach is no longer used to restaurant portion sizes, especially with chips and salsa served.

I agree on restraunt portions.  The thing that got me the most was the salt though.  My pallet got used to low sodium eats.

Just watched the video of Secretariat winning the Belmont Stakes in record time by 31 lengths 47 years years ago today.  Always an incredible performance.
