From Scott V of Prather Ranch:
Hey Nicole, wow what a great surprise. I'm going to try to do everything I can to be sure that this process is as clear and easy as possible for everyone involved.
So, first of all, your message said that 12 people are interested in 40 lbs. of meat each. That makes 480 lbs. total. That amount is a whole beef and brings you to a nicely discounted price of $5.50/lb. bringing the total price for the beef to $2640. That means each person in the group is into it for $220. Now I know that everyone is already sold on the idea, but I think it's worth mentioning that this is a pretty smokin' deal given that our ground beef ordinarily sells for $5.99/lb. and our ribeyes are $19.99/lb. so that's pretty cool. What does 40 pounds of meat look like? Everyone should expect to get one cardboard box that measures 28" long, 16" wide, and 10" deep chock full of meat. this is not a quantity of meat that should require the purchase of a chest freezer, but it is an amount that will probably fill the ordinary kitchen freezer. The stats on the beef are that it will be a certified organic beef, certified humanely raised and handled, and dry aged for 21 days, yummy. Regarding the knuckle and marrow bones, I will have those with me when I deliver the beef and people can buy them "a la carte" at a 15% discount off the retail price which is $3.99/lb.
I have 12 people Total on the list (Angela, Leigh, Brian, Lance, Mike M, Mike G, Joe, Kim, Stas, Sabrina, Joe, Nicole). Please let me know if you don't want to take part ASAP!
I wish I was a bear. Bears rock.
A big Grizzly in Kodiak country, eating plenty of salmon and, on the rare occasion, a lost hiker. No predators. Serious nap time every winter....
I'll bring beef ragu and a bottle of tinto.
Lance and I are still in for the beef. Thank you!
Attention loyal Fuel2Goers - I'll be away this weekend and won't be able to cook for Fuel2Go until I come home. I'll be preparing meals on Tuesday for Wednesday morning, which may work out nicely for those of you who are tired of cooking by the time the middle of the week rolls around. Wednesday meals will take effect beginning this week and will continue from now on, replacing Monday orders.
I'll also be making the delicious Fuel2Go nutrition bars weekly. They're available in packs of 6 and are $2.50 a piece. Thanks again for all of your support and I'll keep you posted regarding Wednesday's menu!
I'll give you my check tomorrow!
Sprint Saturdays tomorrow at 10 am at Piedmont track.
just realized ill be out in point reyes... have fun though
i'm in for the beef. out for the zone dinner. one of these days...
Hi Nicole,
I am definitely in for the Prather beef. Thank you!
Hi Nicole,
I am definitely in for the Prather beef. Thank you!
hey Nicole,
any chance this beef deal will come up again. i kinda missed the boat on this one.
Brian, you may not have missed the boat. Ill let you know if someone can't do it this round.
Nicole and Scott:
Thanks for doing this. I'd like to get Scott's number as I may have other foodie friends that might be interested in the future. I am big on ribeye steaks, not very interested in the NY cut. So if I could secure a few of the ribeyes or trade someone for them, that would be awesome! And yes, I am so down with marrow bones! I'd like about 5lbs.
Scott: When are you bringing it up?
As if eating great food with fellow CFOers weren't enough, there's rumor that we'll be watching UFC at Sam's house tonight as well, much to TomC's delight!
OK, so what's the deal with the Zone Support dinner? If I come, which I'm not clear on, do I bring a dish that's totally Zone balanced (like a Fuel2Go meal, or do I just bring something healthy that people can combine with the other items to make their own Zone meal, like a salad? Just not clear on the ground rules.
The Moreno-Minis will be making a gluten-free chicken ceaser salad. Oh, and dessert!:)
Bill- just bring something a dish that is balanced. No need to worry about exact portion.
I'll be there tonight and will be bringing my son Alex (CF noob)
Bill,
At great personal risk to myself, I'm going to go one step further than "cave connie" and actually suggest that you don't need to worry about making a balanced meal, even.
Part of the beauty of these types of get-togethers is learning how to take a carb-heavy dish, for example, and combine it with other dishes to come up with a balanced meal.
Nicole,
I'm not sure if it's too late, but Nabil and I are in for the cow co-op. We were planning on splitting one of the 40lb takes. If it's too late, that's cool, just let us know when there is going to be a cow co-op redux.
Wish I could be there tonight - Have fun.
Bill, Moses brought a pan of brownies last time and they were probably the biggest hit, so go for it!
Tom, please be sure to get some new pics of Connie (preferably without Mike) for my stalker wall. Thx.
Man, I wish I could be there tonight. Next time.
angela id buy the ny strips off you
good deal. let me know and i'll bring my pesos
Ill bring some Indonesian Rupiah... so about 2 million
I didn't see my name on the list, so at the risk of repeating myself, I'm in for a share of the cow.
