Mr. Farmer just pulled in and popped his head in the door. “How long til lunch?”, he asked. My reply, “Uhhhhhhhhhh, 8 minutes?” , I responded, not having a clue what I was going to set on the table before him. “Great, he said, as I have to meet Joe in about 20 minutes.”
This is when you rely on the PANTRY, BIG TIME! Since we are beef producers, I almost always have some ground beef in the freezer. These items to the left I always try to have on hand.
