No it was the Markdown Meat section. I always check that little bin at the
local Albertsons.

They handle Harris Ranch (Local California) beef. If the beef gets to the
Sell-by date they re-price it and put it into the markdown bin. Yesterday
they had a 1.5 pound beautifully marbled USDA choice Porterhouse remarked to
$4.99 per pound. I grabbed that sucker right up. The porterhouse is a NY &
Fillet with the bone in separating the 2 sections. A little salt & Pepper
and served with a Grilled peach half.

BTW - If you can't use the beef right away - freezing the beef stops the
deterioration. :-)

Dimitri,

An excellent plan if I don't say so myself!

You forget the TJ's pesto?!?

Saving the pesto for a special guest Grandson # 2.
He loves the stuff - He's 5.

Good taste for a young man.

If I knew pesto at 5 that would surely make me a major league fatso!!!

Sounds like a #1 grandson!

Best,

Maybe a smooth cheese, like fresh mozzarella or havarti or something.
