   I’ve made an advancement in food technology. Cooking a meatloaf upside down (which I always do) *on top of baked beans* with a layer of bacon in between. Will report back on how it turns out but let’s be honest, it’s a giant meatball on top of a pot of beans.

     @wollman @irene @dan buying quarter of halves of beef is very common yet in rural areas. You'll get a better deal than from the store and generally higher than avg quality and safer because your meat comes from the same animal not hundreds

     @irene @dan This is the point at which you have bought half a steer or half a hog and realize you can't eat that much meat right away?

     (My parents bought a quarter-steer once, when I was about 10, and had to buy a chest freezer just for that... they never tried that again, although they kept the freezer for another decade.)

     @irene @dan My freezer is very smol and mostly filled with the meat from my quarterly meat delivery service that I haven't figured out how to use yet. Oh, and bread, because in my house bread starts showing visible mold in three days on the counter.

     @irene Sounds like it would be tasty, but I could never do it because that would be far too much food to have around at once. (Also, my favorite "baked" bean recipe is cooked on the stovetop, not in the oven.)

     @wollman oh yeah @dan and I love having food in the freezer like bears for winter. I cut the meatloaf into slices for sandwiches and freeze with the beans.
