Where’s the Beef?

In my freezer, where else?

Last week we decided to order some beef from a local farm.   On Tuesday, a lovely lady from Swain Beef delivered me this bag:

We ordered the “Weeknight Favourites” package, that comes with:

  • 12 lb Ground Beef
  • 1 pkg of 2 Sirloin steaks
  • 1 pkg Stir Fry Strips
  • 4.3 lb Boneless Blade Roast
  • 3.7 lb Boneless Cross Rib Roast
  • 3.5 lb Outside Round Roast

I defrosted the stir fry strips and made them for dinner last night.  I browned the strips in a frying pan, added carrots, and frozen broccoli, peas, and corn.  I added the better part of this sauce:

and let it all cook together.  I served it over some brown rice for a very yummy and very filling meal.

Also?  When packing your newly-delivered beef into the freezer, make sure you put everything back in to the freezer.  Or else you will have to cook 2 huge roasts in your slow cooker, and eat roast beef for the rest of your life.  Like me.

Wednesday Afternoon Funnies

A quick post for this afternoon:  I saw this video on YouTube earlier and it made me laugh.  I love the Muppets, and the Swedish Chef in particular.  I think he’s making popcorn shrimp in this video, but who can be sure?

Check back this evening for an exciting delivery and delicious dinner!
