One of the things that was popular at Romano’s, were meat bundles.
While this was something I never needed myself living seven doors away, bundles were always worthwhile for those who didn’t come in frequently and would freeze it or for organizations that were having an event etc. etc etc.
People ordered combinations of all kinds of steak, hamburg, pork poultry and they’d be sitting and ready.
With only a couple of days left before Romano’s closes for good Today, Thursday is the last day or order bundles and still have them ready for Saturday.
Of course with fresh meat available seven days a week I never saw the need myself. At least not until today.
Still I doubt If I’ll get a bundle, I’ll likely wait to see what’s left on Saturday, if there IS anything left on Saturday.

Wednesday at Romano’s Market was always a busy day at the place, not so much in terms of volume but in terms of labor insensitivity for the place.
Because Wednesday is the day the sausage was made.
That meant cutting up many many pounds of pork butts seasoning them based on the type of sausage being made and then grinding it up and making the sausage.
This was a lot of work particularly when you consider how much sausage was being made and what types. And if it sold very well then on Thursday they would start the process all over again.

Bernie Sanders becomes the first Democrat to win a primary and/or caucus tonight because the Democrats still haven’t figured out definitely who has won in Iowa.
People say that Sanders can’t win the General because he’s a socialist, that’s actually not true, Sanders can’t win because Donald Trump has already delivered on the few parts of his message that had broad appeal, namely jobs and workers pay.
Apparently being a Gay guy who pretends to be moderate really sells as Mayor Pete came in second.
I’m very curious to see how he does once he goes south.
Apparently Senator Amy Klobuchar’s “Sister Socialist” moment has paid and vaulted her into 3rd place.
Four years ago when Donald Trump didn’t have his spectacular she as a women who wasn’t Hillary Clinton might have had a shot, now I doubt it, but it’s the unknowns that always scare you.
Watching Elizabeth Warren only manage 4th is gun considering that the CW just a few months ago had her unstoppable, almost as much fun as Deval Patrick fall apart, but not quite.
It will be interesting to see if she lasts long enough to salvage anything but under 10% in NH is almost as pathetic as Patrick with under 1/2 of 1%
The best news of the Evening was Andrew Yang dropping out as I actually worried about him as an opponent, Bloomberg will guarantee that gun owners will turn out for Trump in greater droves than before and none of the other candidates are different enough to beat Trump.
Yang was wrong but sane, and sane is sorely missed with Dems these days.
I think this image (via Ace of Spades’ Morning Rant) sums up the Oscars in a nutshell.
If these people really cared about climate change, veganism & saving the planet they’d ditch the broadcast and private planes and just have some guy read a list of who won.
Nancy Pelosi is still angry about Rush at the STOU getting the medal of freedom.
Pelosi saw the medal moment as overstepping the boundaries of the White House and Congress.
“Do it in your own office,” she told reporters at a press conference. “We don’t come into your office and do congressional business. Why are you doing that here?”
Admit it, your favorite part of Rush Limbaugh getting the medal of freedom is making sure that the majority of the Democrats in Congress had to be there to watch it.
“If we lose that, we’re going to be the British labor party and be out some theoretical left-wing la la land,” Carville said. “I’m afraid that Donald Trump is going to get re-elected and I have to do this four more years and I don’t think we can make it. I really don’t…The country can’t continue like this.”
The conversation continued with Carville outlining his view that politics should be about “coalitions” and tackling issues, not being an “ideologue” or talking about “reparations or any kind of goofy left-wing thing out there.”
“There’s a certain part of the Democratic Party that wants us to be a cult,” Carville said, ostensibly referencing Sanders’ impassioned base of support.
“I’m not interested in being in a cult…I’m not a very culty person.”
The Democrats have been a cult for a long time, Carville wouldn’t care if it remained so as long as they won and he could keep his snout in the pie
By the time you read this Joe Biden will be on his way to finishing 4th or maybe 5th in NH.
If he can hang on to South Carolina I still think he has a chance as the Black Democrat vote in the south will not go for the Socialist, the Gay Mayor or the (formally) law and order Mayor.
Biden was always a candidate surrounded by a media bodyguard (remember the no dissing Joe zone on Morning Joe) but he’s looked terrible on the campaign trail and impeachment has simply unhinged him.
Must admit I didn’t see this coming.
Finally I went back to work yesterday after busting my shoulder at work on the 24th of Nov.
I’m still healing and have a bunch of exercises I have to do to rebuild the strength in my shoulder but be aware that I might be posting a tad less (and tweeting a LOT less) now that I’m working full time again.
Thanks for all the good wishes during my injury with luck and work my recovery will continue on schedule.
