Was planning some pork-chops on the old Weber for tomorrow, but reasons. I walked up to the meat counter at my local Kroger today (Kroger is a large grocery chain here in the states, based in Cincy) over the counter, in letters 18" tall, it says "BUTCHER SHOPPE". I asked the man behind the counter, who was dressed as a butcher (full length apron, complete with bloodstains) if he would please cut me two bone-in chops about 1 1/4" thick. He looked me right in the eye and replied "this isn't a butcher shop, we just have what you see here in the case". All I could do was step back a couple feet and look pointedly at the huge fucking sign over his head and say "I guess the extra P and the E make all the difference, huh?" He had no response. I weep for my country, and my stomach.

Ironically, at my local QFC/Safeway/Ralph/etc. which sports a ton of Korger branded products, the deli guys have no problem slicing meat to your liking.

Yeah, as I have moved around town, I have had no problem asking for special cuts/service at other Krogers. I just enjoyed that particular little exchange due to the ironic signage, prolly should have mentioned that they just remodeled this store and the sign is new.

Might I suggest a nice can of Spam or maybe even better a nice can of Treat to go with that?

Not cooking, but revisiting my home-country. Obligatory "Bar Mleczny" feast. All this for under $15 ;D

I'm making chicken sandwiches now. I like cooking and I used to take homemade food even to work. I use special containers that I ordered to store my food. I think that homemade food is healthier and taste far better than store-bought ones.

Chicken thigh taco night.
BTW...who's the banned guy?
Tomorrow I've got to make pizza dough. I like it thin and crispy with hot sausage, bell pepper and mushroom. I like to add a bit of provolone to the mozzarella for a bit of sweetness.

Ah, I see many people here are into chicken :cheeky: The simplest protein after eggs. I really like cooking chicken khebab (a Turkish recipe), the most important secret is to marinade the meat as long as possible, for example a night
