Lunch meat

[Guest guest]

I've done this twice now with really good results - used a meat slicer to slice

roast beef into deli thin slices. I got the meat on sale for $1.99/lb, so it's

actually way cheaper than deli meat, which we all can't eat anyway. I borrowed

the slicer from my sister-in-law and I think I'm going to buy one. It really

wasn't that hard. I made two roasts at once and have several 1 pound packages

in the freezer and we are having roast beef sandwiches (if I can figure out a

bread like substance for my son and me) for lunch. I did this last week too, and

it was very convenient for lunches.

Has anyone tried something like this with turkey or chicken breast? I know that

they tend to be more crumbly, so I'm a bit afraid to try. My next " experiment "

will be to brine the meat overnight before cooking. I think that salt and a bit

of honey should be good for this. Anyone ever tried this?

Thanks,

Liz
