Chicken thighs, 58 cents per pound. Two big trays. All cooked. Some for supper tonight. Rest to freeze for various options.

Two spiral-cut hams. Best I ever tasted. One has been sliced down and packed for dinners, sandwiches. One has been frizzen. REALLY good smoky flavor and GREAT texture-- will send Hardi after 2 more tomorrow if budget allows. They were just over a buck a pound and I needed bones for doggiez out there in Dog World. These come with glaze/flavor packets (too sugary for everyday) that will be saved for other uses like pork roasts, BBQ, etc.

$114. Including plastic to bag up all the wax-paper bundles.

Hardi is just pulling in, to discover the smell of all this and a 40-lb case of whole chix yet to haul in-- I brought in all the rest. Taters are nuking.....
