Target has come up with a new scheme to help steer consumers to their superstores… menus and recipes delivered to your cell phone… how’d I hear about it? An email from Target.com…
It’s really brilliant… and I’m tempted to sign up… but I’m sure not willing to pay the text messaging rates.
In other news, I got a great steak from Miss Cordelia’s in Harbortown, where the butcher was happy to cut a sirloin to my specifications — two inches thick… and near the meat department, they had a rack with dozens of free recipes…
With all the cooking shows, the scores of cookbooks and the access to great ingredients, getting in the kitchen and playing around has never been easier or more fun, right? So, why is it that so many people still don’t cook?

There used to be a full service market in Jackson TN that cut meat by thumb length. You would tell him I want it 2-3-4-5 thumb length. A thumb repsented a thumb nail length and was (I estimate) the butcher’s term for 1/4th of an inch. The butcher would take that cleaver an chop it on the button every time!
Now there’s only two places left in Jackson to buy good meat: Latham’s BBQ & Meat Market and Camp’s Market.
Do you ever go to Southern Meat Market or Charlie’s Triangle Market on Summer to purchase meat? When I was in Grad School years ago at the UofM those were my two favorite places.
Has anyone bought a steak in recent years from Folks Folly’s take out to cook. They used to sell cuts there like a meat market.
