Bought a bottom round roast today

15. Yeah, The only problem is I'm not going back into town anytime soon

We live about ten miles from any store (used to be MUCH farther but the town has moved out).

And I've done the cook big batches and frozen smaller amounts for decades. Back when I was running the farm, I'd cook on days when it was slow, then put up enough servings in batches to last 2-3 days for the two of us. Every holiday season when turkeys and hams are on sale, I got one of each, cook the turkey, and portion them out for future meals. Spiral sliced hams make this really easy, by the way. So right now I have five packs of sliced ham, two or three packs of chunked ham (from the unsliced end), and a couple of packs of turkey. some of those will later go into things that will be portion frozen for later.

We never ate out much and of course we are past delivery services.

I bought a larger size round roast just so I can freeze parts for future use. It's twice as large as needed for the recipe I linked above which serves six. So I can freeze two or three batches and still have a couple of meals out of it. I just have to scale it up.

New bouillon is on the shopping list for the next time one of us goes to the store.
