No clue.  It's already ground when I buy it.  You can buy buffalo steaks or
such too, but they're twice as expensive.

-> big jobs, but just right if you want to 'mince up' 3 lbs or so of meat
and

I've never used an electric one, just the manual.

Brownouts?  Try blackouts.  They shut down power to the downtown part of
Stamford CT one day because if they hadn't the power lines would have
melted.

Maybe not, but if it's outside of the area being cooled, it doesn't cause
the central air conditioning to kick on. The tabletop units are much
smaller than a real oven - more like a toaster oven but built more like a
crock pot.

I only buy those on sale with a coupon.  One time I ate a lot of those for
a while and actually gained weight; they had more calories in them then I'd
normally eat on my own.  

-> stuff the other days (works 2-4 times a week, 3pm to 8pm).  They were on

That tells me all I need to know about Sasebo Commissary prices!

That's just seasoned salt; it's standard in stores here due to a big
hispanic population.  I'll bet it tastes good, but it's not what I think of
when I hear Adobo.  Too many Philippinas around when I was a kid, I guess.
