So I think I'm in love with our local Butcher- Doug's Quality Meats . Really cool family owned business just up the hill from us. Really good meat including smoked stuff. Great customer service. We're in there at least once every two weeks, if not more frequently. In fact I think all our meat but our sea food comes from his shop. And yeah it maybe a 15-20% increase over the grocery store but I'll gladly pay that for something local, with less additives and preservatives and most importantly way better tasting.
Today after my venture to the small local farmers market I got a text from the Mr that we were out of bacon. In our household on a Saturday morning that's a bonafide crisis in the making. We did have sausage but bacon is our go to weekend food. So I drove up the to the butcher shop. He had just made a batch of bacon patties but the smallest ready to go pack he had was 10 patties - way to much for us right now. Oh bacon patties - basically some of the left over bacon ground up with hamburger. I mentioned we didn't need 10 - he asked how many - my reply was 4 - and then went back to the freezer and bundled me up some. I know that's what he's supposed to do but then he called me sweetie and I didn't find it at all obnoxious. Which means I'm either softening with age or his demeanor was spot on because it was no way a put down.
We at the bacon patties today and it was way better than just plain hamburger.
