The French teacher had an affair with the band director.<br /><br />Lots of words became new meanings in our European development of the United States. I still laugh when we go to the new Indian mounds and it says Certier Road and dad pronounced it Searchy.<br /><br />JR's Amish Country Store had roast beef for $3.99 a pound so I picked up some while scouting in Pike and Ross Counties this week. I had a beef and Swiss sandwich, too with Lacey Swiss and all the fixings for 2 bucks.<br /><br />Love those Amish...Ed Winklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07299533401041542458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6975161130020685883.post-31271126615267677632012-10-09T10:38:53.826-04:002012-10-09T10:38:53.826-04:00Haha, no, I meant that the price was /lb. not /cwt...Haha, no, I meant that the price was /lb. not /cwt. Filet mignon might be even tastier from an older animal. Much less work than a dairy cow, even in winter, and no work at all if you let it pasture the rest of the year for good grass fed marbled beef.<br />Or you can raise it in confinement with lots of beer in summer to start its appetite and pass it for $100/lb. Kobe beef. Seems like this kind of CAFO does not raise any eyebrows from the gourmet critics...<br /><br />Funny how the name came about, "filet mignon" refers exclusively to pork tenderloin in French. English "filet mignon" would be "tournedos" (literally turn the back of the beef), a slice from the middle section of the "filet", the beef tenderloin.Chimelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08601975288198239103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6975161130020685883.post-82224353286158535752012-10-09T08:06:46.690-04:002012-10-09T08:06:46.690-04:00Before you get too excited, there wasn't enoug...Before you get too excited, there wasn't enough meat on those calves to fight over. But a year of good feeding, a whole lot of work and a big pile of manure, we could have some tasty filet mignons!Ed Winklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07299533401041542458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6975161130020685883.post-57271938081366957092012-10-08T20:49:37.568-04:002012-10-08T20:49:37.568-04:00The way prices go, dairy or meat farms that don...The way prices go, dairy or meat farms that don't grow their own feed and hay are doomed.<br /><br />Hey, $1.60 for a hundred pounds, count me in! ;)Chimelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08601975288198239103noreply@blogger.com
