At this time of year in CT I don't think one needs to be concerned
about refrigerated shipping, most likely arrived frozen... I've got
ice pellets falling all day with temps in the 20ºFs.
Today I ground a two+ pound top round steak and made up four half
pound burgers, two for the freezer and two for tonight's dinner...
forgot to buy rolls but was fine on toasted 'talian bread. Those large
burgers were plenty, didn't need anything else... plus there's two
half gallons of ice cream in the freezer. Tomorrow's dinner might be
homemade pea soup from the basement freezer with Sabrett natural
casing tube steak coins added. Meals are easy with a freezer full of
home made soups/stews, etc.
