It sounds like the meat packing industry is in trouble. It's probably time to add a bit more meat to the freezer, if it is still to be had. My freezer is a godsend, it's a tall one I bought a few months ago to replace the slightly larger one I'd bought a dozen years ago at an estate sale for $30.

I seem to be "off pasta" also but I need to get back to using it, because I have quite a bit around the house. Stir fry with vegetables and chicken, I think, will be my next use of it.
