This has been a most interesting & informative thread. I haven't read anything this good in a long time.
Now for my questions since all the butchering & other questions have been asked & answered. I am sitting here wondering why the ground beef is packed in 2 lb. portions. There are nine people in the Whitinger family; how in the heck does 2 lbs. or even 4 lbs. do it?
I am serious though.
I have often wondered how in the world 9 people get fed 3 meals a day. To me, it seems like it would be a full time job all by itself.
I can no more imagine making sandwiches for 9 people than I can imagine sprouting wings & flapping to the moon. Doesn't it take an hour and a half?
I do realize that a number of the kids are now old enough to help but I can't help wondering how you guys manage to run the household and have time left for anything else. The laundry must be staggering!
You see, I don't need to know how to butcher the beef, I need to know how you manage to cook all the beef.
