Hah! - Grandme26 (Judy) - your reference to meatloaf without onions - we had a foster daughter that no matter how small I minced a piece of onion - in anything, that little stinker would find it and "put it to the side of her plate"!

Our son and daughter in law have the best eggs in the world. Range running, food from off the table, just like my grandmother fed her chickens and they have the best eggs, not to mention the best tasting chickens in the world. Would that we could raise our own. In St. Paul, you can raise three chickens in your back yard. It's a thought. But I would end up naming them and they'd die a ripe old age!!!! Edie

Read "The Omnivore's Dilemma". That will cut your corn consumption in a flash. Or, do as we have done, and become vegetarian!

Here in Northern OH, I bought the Giant Eagle "valu-pack" (3 lbs .or more) of 85% hamburger, which tastes better than the 92%, and paid the same price as it: $3.79 a pound; but then bought a 3 pack of T-bones at $5.99 a lb. Everything is going up... while my retirement pension (I do not have SS) stays the same except for a few dollars increase each year!

Need to add that we do have a veggie garden which is all we eat from all summer... can't wait to plant those first seeds... soon!!!!!!! and have 5 fruit trees that I can/freeze from. Ate tofu and beans today for lunch... hamburger is becoming a frivolous luxury as are those steaks!!!!

We get our hamburger from a farmer that raises beef cattle and it is always very lean. Just ordered 50 lbs and was $2.60 a lb.

We bought by the bulk when it was on sale last summer and vacuum sealed it in one pound packages. Seems like the price goes down during BBQ season but I wonder what it will be this summer with everything going up?
