Very tasty!<br /><br />I'm tending to think that the end of the world might be a month earlier, November 4th election day. But there could be enough disconnect that it drags on into December.<br /><br />Maybe I'll make it a point to eat a lot of lobsters in November. I don't want them to go to waste at the end of the world :>)Jim in San Marcoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09435296419912935381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27697009.post-5653894312239774672012-08-27T06:59:29.014-07:002012-08-27T06:59:29.014-07:00My wife read a book about use/misuse of corn for f...My wife read a book about use/misuse of corn for fuel and also as feed for our livestock industry. You are right about lowering our standard of living. The drones calculating inflation are counting on me to substitute something of lower price to take the place of bacon. One of the great things about living in Nova Scotia is you can buy lobster for 6 bucks a pound at supermarket and even less at wharf. I also go out on boat and do a little work and get them for nothing. Anyway as it stands right now balogna and bacon are more expensive than those critters. Too good to be true which means the Mayans might be right and world will end on schedule this december.

It frys up into nothing, but it sure tastes good, so it must be bad for you.<br /><br />Meat went out of sight when we started making ethanol with corn. They want $10 for a T-bone steak.<br /><br />Notice though, as we refuse to spend more and cut back on the items we use to buy, we are lowering our standard of living. It's kind of nice to know that we are following textbook economics to the letter. We're behaving like trained monkeys :>)Jim in San Marcoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09435296419912935381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27697009.post-8296195134938641232012-08-26T18:11:02.518-07:002012-08-26T18:11:02.518-07:00Hi Dearieme

It wasn't that long ago that I could buy it for 4 dollars or less regular price. Anyway I figure the new price is only going to reduce the number of people buying. Less customers means price will rise even more. I suppose the pork producers fixed costs might in the end improve my health. Problem is the food that is good for you is going up in price too.Rob in Nova Scotianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27697009.post-29271230666528862512012-08-25T14:23:31.950-07:002012-08-25T14:23:31.950-07:00Don't fret.

After the collapse of Rome it only took about 1300 years for Britain to get back to the same levels of civilisation.<br /><br />In the Dark Ages, the wild Welsh tribesmen still referred to themselves as "citizens" so there's a fair chance you'll still be calling yourselves "Americans".deariemenoreply@blogger.com
