 Great

I was poking around the news website looking for info on our Senate standoff & came across this, I didn't even know there WAS a beef recall!  I knew Michael Jacksons will had been read though, LOL.

With the 4th of July holiday being tomorrow, this is timely information to have.

 

Thanks for sharing this, Sweet Sue! 

 

Krissy~~~ 

 Does this mean I shouldn't get hamburger today?

 

 I'm not really found of hamburger to start with, like you never know what is IN it, or if it's bad or not (according to stories like this). But, in a way, it's sort of a staple to make meals from. I've got so I don't like it plain, but if it's in something (disguised) I can not think about it.

 

   I'm sitting here now thinking what can I put on the list to get to make meals from, something affordable, easy, different?

 

    And so much of this revolves around meat of some kind (and not even the affordable part)

 

   I think I'm bored with food, but it's something I still have to deal with.

You are certainly not alone, I've been so un-inspired lately it's crazy.  I need to start browsing my cookbooks & find some inspiration.

Thanks for reminding me.  I bought my hamburger in June, so I guess we're okay.

Pheww!!  I was going to splurge and get a pack of T-bones at Costco on Tues., but they were cut too thick!  I'm glad I didn't! 

Thanks for the info!

  I was at Costco yeasterday and the people were buying tons of meat,  I guess for the 4th .
