Food: Meat

[dancerjodi]

I think the issue with a meat share is that there are lots of things that would come up in it that Brian and I don't normally eat (not to mention the one friends are using is closed until May). There is something to be said for experimentation and learning to cook new things but with the time we have, I'm not sure I'm ready to jump into that now.

The Di's have gone to http://www.balancerockfarm.com/ a few times, so I think I may like a drive out there to pick up some things to sample. Making a once a month pilgrimage to grab meat to freeze wouldn't be a huge time commitment.

Or I wonder if there are any local butcher shops that will have this high of a quality stuff (beyond Whole Foods)? There is a place in Watertown Square (The Meat Spot) that may be worth checking out. Years ago we'd try and get there and buy our meats to freeze and they were good quality/price compared to the supermarkets. I wonder if they have the grass fed beef, pastured chicken and that kind of thing . . .

The variety of stuff in the meat share wouldn't be for us - we eat chicken breasts, pork chops, ground stuff and Brian eats some certain cuts of beef. There's too much in the shares we wouldn't be able to easily use without a lot of time/research.
