Every year my family and I take a trip to the beach in the fall and rent a big house. After spending a fortune on groceries in years past I decided I was going to do some prep a little ahead of time.
Well I kind of ran out of time for my big plans. Was going to smoke and slice some eye of rounds for roast beef and do my own turkey and ham as well. Yeah just didn't happen how I had hoped so I went to the store and bought a 10 pound oven roasted turkey breast a la
tx smoker
sized he posted a few weeks ago. Also picked up a 10 pound pre cooked ham that had already been smoked. Gave the turkey a little cold smoke one evening and then both headed for the slicer. Here is one pan of each.
Also decided to take some ground beef with us as we usually grill out a couple times while there. Picked up 3 chuck roasts for $3.49 lb
Ended up with this haul sealed up in one pound bags
Had done some pork butts the weekend before so I packed that up in 2 pound portions as well.
7 pounds of ground chuck. 4 pounds of pulled pork. Ended up taking 4 pounds of ham and 4 pounds of turkey with us and froze the rest. All if it got eaten aside from 1 pound of turkey! There were 9 of us including 2 of my sons friends. Never seen more eaten than those 3 teenage boys put down.
On a side note when we rented the house it noted online it had a propane grill there. I get there and find this...
Lol I have never used an "expert grill" before but man it was bare bones...I have been too spoiled at home!
Had a great relaxing much needed vacation! Enjoyed some cold ones and had some great food. Did a big seafood boil and some other stuff there too but rarely had my phone on me to get pics.
Here is one shot off our back porch with the entrance the Charleston harbor in the background.
Anyways just had a few pics on my phone and figured I'd share. Thanks for looking!
