Whats for Dinner Grandma??

I had to make a trip to buy thread. I must get busy on a quilt or two.
I was also out of potatoes, have been out since we threw away all the wrinkly ones.
I decided to make a pan of chili, I picked up Hamburger that was on sale, then on to the Buttermilk, (Cant have chili without buttermilk).
As I returned to the meat dept, I asked the butcher "Do you have chili Grind?" He said no but I can prepare some for you. I told him "Yes I would love that."
Sounded good so I wait, As I am waiting, and elderly gentleman was being helped by another butcher. He wanted a good pot roast that would shred easily.
The butcher took him to the roast, and showed him the chuck and the cross rib. As I listened in to the conversation the Butcher said, The Cross Rib is the best buy and the best Roast, and you buy it we give you, French bread. A bag of Potatoes and a Salad.
Obviously I was not the only one listening, as he walked away another lady and I approached the Roast and each bought one, a small one, I then picked up a five pound bag of potatoes a fresh salad and fresh from the bakery French Bread.
Not we know what is for dinner, today, tomorrow and possibly the next.
As far as the chili grind, and the sale Hamburger, I kept it all, I will make chili this weekend.
I will make hamburgers later next week.
When I make a full meal, we usually have food for several days, I have not learned to cook for just two people. After all I have cooked for a lot of people since I was twelve years old.
I do not judge beans I just dump them in the pan. A one pound bag where as a child I used a two pound bag, so we get pretty tired of beans after three or so meals of them.
With Chicken I cook two chicken breasts and it makes enough for two meals. David takes a chicken sandwich in his lunch.
Again tired of chicken.
Beef is one thing we eat very little of, I knwo it does not sound liek it with all I bought today, but that was totally a devine intervention.
I bet your Dad was praying for Beef.
