One of the things that I love about the military is going shopping at the Commissary (the grocery store on base). The prices are great, especially for meat and produce. And when we move to Hawaii, we'll be doing almost all of our grocery shopping on base to save money.
On Friday (payday) we went grocery shopping and I found a rack of ribs on sale as the manager's special. So, I picked it up. We got 4 1/2 lbs. of spare ribs for about $5. Rick was really excited because he loves ribs, and since I've never really eaten ribs before, he decided to make them for us.

Tonight I made one of Rick's favorite meals: Korean Barbecued Beef. I just recently got this recipe and it is super-good and tasty. You have to marinade the beef overnight in order to get the best taste. I didn't do that today because I forgot to pull out the beef. Oh well, next time!

If you want any of these recipes, let me know. I guarantee that they are good! :)
I'd venture to say you wouldn't really ever need to go off base to grocery shop. Seriously. They have a HUGE commissary, a BX, AND a BXtra (TWO stories!)! Lucky dogs!
