Yes. Thats what I use too. Most ground beef and pork are from the
less expensive cuts. They actually work better IMHO.
 
I'm with you on the names. We have one called 'london broil' (no
relation to actual London cuts, but a method of cooking). With care,
London Broil can make an excellent steak cut but it's tough as nails if
overcooked.

Flank or top round might be your name for it and yes, we know those are
radically parts of the cow....
 
We did a fairly sizable grinding run last weekend.

Well, brisket is easy. Front bottom of the cow.

Around here, London Broil is a flank steak wrapped around sausage meat
and sliced into pieces about an inch thick... thick enough that they
don't curl up and spill their guts in the pan but thin enough not to
have long tough fibres in the meat.

We decided to blow off the store trip today and instead made something
a bit like burgoo
 
https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/221096/traditional-kentucky-burgoo/
 
Thats a sample recipe. For the okra, we used a can of stewed tomatoes
with okra. The rest was tossed together 'on the fly'.
 
The key thing that makes it Burgoo, is multiple meat types are used.
That and the canned diced tomatoes are essential.
 
The all recipes version makes 12 servings and if a salt-bomb but mostly
due to the products they used.
 
We adapted it down to about 6 servings (4-5cups)
 
1/2lb pork butt, cut to cubes
2 chicken leg quarters
1/4c powdered home made beef jerky (between powder and small threads)
12ea tiny sausage balls from home made sausage
2 potatoes, cut to 8 pieces each
1 turnip, matchsticked
1 15oz can stewed tomatoes with okra
1 15oz can diced tomatoes
1/3c cooked dried lima beans
1 can corn
1/2c cooked dried black beans
1 small onion
2 bell peppers (green)
1TB duck fat
1TB flour
water to cover plus 1 inch
1.5TB minced garlic
1/2ts file powder
1/8ts wasabi powder
 
Make a roux of the duck fat and flour then add the rest. Cans are not
drained but all are low-salt. Set lib on and simmer 2hours. You
should be able then to lift out the chicken quarters, set aside for a
little then debone and add the meat back in. Add chicken broth as
needed. Bring back to a simmer and should be done about the 3 hour
point.

I hate when that happens. Most times, I'll still remember
most of it but later discover I did forget a few things
after I get home.
 
Not a huge deal for me though as my store is only 1 mile
away and I can just go back a few days later.

That *is* a long way to go. You would definitely want to
"make a list and check it twice."
 
===
 
Well, I do, but as I said, I do keep a good store so we won't starve:)

We often make a shopping list and then forget to bring it when we go
into town. But I order wine and cat food online most of the time, so
the essentials are covered :)
 
===
 
Oh yes!! The people who deliver stuff we order from Amazon are almost
personal friends:))

My brother concerned about losing his memory. Every time he went to the
doctor with multiple issues he would forget to mention one or more of
them. I suggested that he make a note of them. He did that, but he
forgot to take the note.

I would never add a spicy seasoning to scallops. The flavor and mouth
feel of scallops is what makes them special.
I like to be able to 'taste' the flavor behind the spicy, not make it
so spicy that I get nothing but pain in my tongue. I didn't grow up
with spicy food.

Well, I don't know - the most mouth-searing food I've ever had, was in
the UK, in Szechuan and Indian/Pakistani/Bangladeshi eateries.
 
The stuff I've had in the US, hasn't come anywhere near that.

I totally agree. BTW I think those ready roasted chickens at Costco
are the best of the bunch. Every so often I buy one, cut it all up
and freeze the pieces ready for an evening I can't be bothered to cook
:)

I have gas heat too but my blower isn't on all the time. We augment
with a fireplace when temps drop to the 30's. The house was well
designed to take advantage of the fireplace well. It gets banked at
night then fired up still hot in the morning.

I've been using some of John's goofball quotes for an instructional unit I will be using to teach work readiness skills, in this case how NOT to properly do a job search...his stuff should have them rolling in the aisles with laffter...the above bit about insurance especially, LOL...
 
I'm also preparing a unit along the lines of "Cleaning Up Your Social Media For Job Search" - THAT will be a real hoot to use his terrible online examples...

I've been up since 6:00 AM, made a big load of Spanish Rice which is almost ready (will be some of my WORK lunches this week)...prepping a nice chuck steak, baked tater, salad and Brussels Sprouts for Sunday supper (Haagen - Dazs RUM RAISIN for dessert if I'm not too full...!!!)...
 
Did two loads of laundry, changed the bedding and tidied up...ordered an Amazon Fresh grocery order for Monday delivery...also finished up a Powerpoint for instructional use later this week...getting ready for a Zoom "Happy Hour" for an East German history group I participate in later this afternoon (for homework I read an academic treatise on the East German economy to prepare)...also checked in on two elderly folks, they are both doing well and we had nice chats...also donated the rest of my stimulus check to a literacy charity, with that they can provide a Chromebook and basic internet service for a remote literacy learner - in - need...
 
AND I've managed to "call you to account" already several times...AIN'T it GRAND...!!!???
 
Long story short, I can get MORE done in a FEW short Sunday morning hours than your LAZY arse can do ALL week...AND I have TWO jobs...
