Too bad more of us cannot include gasoline in large quantities in our food storage. We are paying close to $4.00 for unleaded and almost $5.00 for diesel. That expense cuts into our actually saving money and putting it towards buying extra food to have for that “rainy day” situation.

I heard about this petition today… check it out. I think it is worth a look and a signature, if you agree. It talks about lowering gas prices. (I’m really wanting to have lower gas prices so I can put more money towards food storage.)

So there is this new book I have found. I think it is so great, I have agreed to put it on my website and offer it to you all (for a price, naturally). It is called “Confessions of a Butcher - Eat Steak on a Hamburger Budget and Save $$$” written by John Smith- a real life butcher who knows what he is talking about. Click the link to purchase it or even just to read more reviews.

I thought since I wanted to discuss meat this week, this would be a great way to kick off the BBQ Season, Memorial Day Weekend. Confessions of a Butcher has great suggestions and ideas for alternate ways to do things (I can’t give away his secrets!). And he even includes some of his favorite recipes in the back of the book. It is a fun read and great reference. You won’t want to miss out on this one.

There you have it, my blatent plug for reading this book. I was really impressed with it! Happy BBQ-ing, and roasting, and frying, and …. whatever and however you decide to prepare it.
