A friend once gave me a small sign which read:  “If we are what we eat, then I’m either cheap, fast or easy.”  I’ll take all the above, Alex.

In keeping with that sentiment, I’m going to show you what we’re having for dinner tomorrow.  Within the past six months or so, Jewel has started having a clearance meat section.  This is probably the only decision of old Craig’s with which I heartily concur.  The three packages of country ribs and one steak cost (after clearance stickers) less than ten bucks.  The country ribs have already been dumped into the slow cooker, together with some free barbeque sauce, some Hunts diced tomatoes, Wesson oil and a large onion.  ETA tomorrow (on low heat).  Tonight’s meal is tacos, using leftovers from a  clearance pork loin, slow cooked to fall apart.

For me, it’s easier to run meals this way than picking up something to go.  And if PITA and THE BOY want snacks, well, luckily we have a full basement of Fresh Mixers from Jewel and Smart Ones from Target.
