And 10 pounds might be a little low.
Beth went to Costco yesterday and bought me 3 packs of
Norwegian Salmon (12 oz each), and 2 packs of this
smoked salmon (24 oz each).
I try to stretch that to about 8-10 days.
(I did have to make a concession to farm raised. LOL)
I have a rule... if it isn't really good for me and completely non-toxic, and I can barely taste it, I shouldn't be eating it.
Although the list varies by day - and sometimes by BITE in a meal - many of my favs are just gone.
Rarely do I taste any kind of meat, except for pastrami & corned beef (like 80% flavor). Even ice cream and chocolate sauce are below 50% most of the time.
But, again can vary wildly.
Every day I do the "salt test." Most days salt is 5-10%. I've even stuck a teaspoon of salt in my mouth and couldn't taste it. (Spit it out, of course.)
So, when I run into some food... any, really... that consistently gives me pleasure & gratification, I will make sure that I've got plenty on hand.
Salmon is my goto breakfast when I get up at 3:30-4am for an early work day. (My vitamin B12 megadosing has caused me to not need near as much sleep.)
