Beer, Food and updates . . .

So, I have updated Cletus’ page.  Cletus, if you’re out there, enjoy my man!  I will add to it as I find more.

Added a few local (and newer) brewing companies that are located here in Austin.  You should check them out, as I know I am going to do this weekend.  I would also like to check out the Austin Farmers Market either tomorrow or Saturday.  Maybe grab some of those fine local brews while I am out.  Can’t hurt while I am grilling this weekend.

I also went to Costco today.  In the trying financial times that we are having today, I thought I might share a tip that I have done over the years.  Amongst other purchases today, we picked up a full pork loin.  Usually what I do with that is to cut it into 2-3 inch cuts which I then cut further into butterfly pork chops.  Easiest thing in the world to do.  Best part is, I have a freezer full of pork chops that cost about $1 a piece (did the math today just to figure it out).  And, I get to cut them to the thickness I want.  Which I am not always able to get at HEB.  If desired, you can do the same with a PSMO (full beef tenderloin) which you can then cut into steaks.  Need to a little more trimming on that, but the cost of a cut of steak that melts in your mouth becomes, not only more manageable, but a staple in your freezer.

Oh, and I think in my first installment, I said I would share things that you wouldn’t care about.  Here’s another one.  My co-workers believe I have a Penguin fetish.  In reality, it’s not a fetish.  I am simply in sole possession of the knowledge that the zombie penguins are poised for mass invasion (well, at least until this is published).  I may share more info on this later.

Happy sleepless nights.
