Might as well shut the whole thread down lol. Sheesh.

What's the 2nd to last pic?
 
What's the story behind this?

How much does something like this run you?
My wife always wanted to buy in bulk to reduce grocery store trips and overall cost of goods. I never disagreed but my mindset was stuck in a routine where I couldnt bare with the upfront cost. During this pandemic, especially early on, there were alot food limitations (ex: could only buy like 2 bags of chicken) and alot of shortages and bare shelves. Never thought something like this could happen in America. It opened my eyes to what my wife was thinking and I figured its good to have extra food avail than just enough, like I'm used to.

I live in the country and I have a lot of friends that have farms. So my boy asked me if I wanted a cow cus he was takin a bunch to the butcher.(I had copped like 20 chickens from him). I just went for a half to see how it goes and I needed to get a deep freezer but aint wanna splurge onna huge one. Meat ran me around $1300.

I've learnedIts pretty standard to have multiple deep freezers of meat out here.
 
Has anyone ever used a food steamer? I’m trying to decide if I should get one to make baby food or this fancy gadget they have that is a steamer on one side and a blender on the other.

I use the baeba for my latest pickup. It’s nice and convenient. I never gave him jar or premade anything with all the heavy metal studies that’s been going on. I would just recommend getting the glass insert. I saw the one you put on ig I would probably get that over the one I have now.

Also check eBay. These baby gadgets be od expensive

Yes with my first I made everything as welll but I used to boil everything and I’m like there’s such fancy baby gadgets now but wasn’t sure if worth it. But yea pricey. Thanks I think I might do it. We got the ok from the doctor to start next month so I’m just pre planning.
 
How many months is she?

Yeah I usually get up, steam him some stuff and it lasts me maybe two days. Then I’ll blend him some other stuff. Bro is a tank tho. But it’s very beneficial for meal prepping if your kid isn’t a garbage disposal like mine. You can likely get 4-5 meals and some snacks out of one cook.

Any tips on making crab cakes.
Going to make an attempt on christmas.

Fried bangus (milkfish) for lunch

I actually don't make them very often, but...

Use jumbo lump crab.
Use as little filler as possible. Saltines instead of bread crumbs.
BROIL.
I don’t always use fillers but if I do, I use Ritz crackers because they are more buttery. I’ve used dill, chives, and or tarragon in my mix before. Also a splash of hot sauce. When I put it in the broiler, I put a bit of butter on top on the crab cake. If you want more of a crispier bottom, you can either used a cast iron pan and heat it on the stove first and add the cake and essentially give it a sear. Or preheat the pan
