Probably means "Piggly Wiggly". We used to have one here in Parts
Unknown, KY, but it went out of business. I rather liked it.
As for the 35 lb of ground beef, I'd freeze a few pounds for meatloaf
and burgers, but brown most of it (in portions). Then add taco
seasoning (homemade) to about half of it, cook for a bit, portion that
into freezer bags. The rest of the browned meat goes straight into
freezer bags for use in other recipes calling for ground
beef----lasagna, pizza topping, chili, etc.
One advantage is that there's now only about 25 lb or so of stuff to go
in the freezer. Another is that ground beef cooked fresh tastes better
than ground beef cooked after being frozen. Well, at least it does to
me....
