There are a number of "dollar" store chains. Dollar General, Family Dollar and
Dollar Tree being the largest in this area ... in about the order I gave them.
They also glom a lot of business from the gas pump/C-store meme by having
better prices on the same merch, and a larger selection. Plus selling tobacco
products. If they ever put in beer and booze the corner gas is going to have to
go back to relying on petrol sales and get back into "service" (tires, tune
ups, etc.) to survive.  Bv)=

They are legal in cows -- "Since the 1950s, the Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) has approved a number of steroid hormone drugs for use in beef cattle and
sheep, including natural estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and their
synthetic versions. These drugs increase the animals’ growth rate, the
efficiency by which they convert the feed they eat into meat, and the leanness
of their meat." (once again it's time to "follow the money" -UDD)

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

      Title: Irish Stew (2)
 Categories: Lamb/mutton, Stews, Vegetables, Potatoes, Herbs
      Yield: 6 servings

  1 1/2 lb Stewing lamb or mutton
      2 lg Onions
      3 lb Potatoes
      1 lg Bunch fresh parsley
      2 tb Chopped fresh thyme
           Water
           Salt & fresh black pepper

  Peel the onions and slice them into rounds. Peel the
  potatoes as thinly as possible. Leave them whole unless
  they are very large. Cut the meat into good-sized pieces.
  Small chops can be left whole, larger ones divided in two.

  Place a layer of onions on the bottom of a heavy
  casserole, and the meat on top of them. Sprinkle chopped
  thyme and parsley generously, and season well. Layer the
  rest of the onions with the potatoes. Sprinkle thyme and
  parsley again at the last.

  The amount of water you need to add depends on how good
  the seal is between your pot and its lid, and whether you
  like a "wet" or "dry" stew. You will certainly not need
  more than two cups, and I use barely one. Bring the water
  to a boil, cover as tightly as possible, and place in a
  preheated oven at 300øF/150øC for 2 1/2 - 3 hours. Keep an
  eye on it towards the end, and adjust the gravy by adding
  a little water if you think it too dry. 

  A good stew should have some gravy, but should not be
  flooded by it. "Floury" potatoes will dissolve into the
  gravy, "waxy" ones will not. I tend to use a mixture.
  Serve very hot with more fresh chopped parsley sprinkled
  on top. White soda bread to mop up the gravy.
