What's happening this week:

I know that a lot of customers at both stores spend some time down in Florida for part of the year and I hope all of you are safe. After watching the devastation of Hurricane Ian last week I know that my mom and dad, who moved to Fort Myers in May, were certainly directly effected and seem to have lost their condo, but they are now back up here and safe. The condo and everything that was in it can be replaced, they can not, so we are glad they are OK and there is a long road ahead to see what the next steps are. We know they are not alone and they saw first hand the destruction that came with this storm so please consider donating to the RED CROSS to help those in the Fort Myers/Sanibel area that have lost everything.

Now that we are into October it is time to start thinking about Thanksgiving! We have menus in the stores and on our website and we are ready to start taking orders as soon as you are ready but here are a few things for this year:

-Prices are higher than last year across the board. As we have been seeing in the last few years, prices on everything are going up and poultry has not been spared.

-Any turkeys over 16# will be VERY LIMITED!! We placed our order a month ago and were told we would only get 50% of what we ordered. This is due to the avian flu earlier this year and will be an industry wide issue. We will not be the only ones without that size turkey

-We will have turkey breast options to add to your turkey order if we are unable to get you the big turkey you need, but those were also effected so some of the larger sizes will also be in short supply.

-The order deadline will be Sunday November 20th. After we close on that day there will be no more orders, add-ons or changes.

Homemade Sausage
$4.98 lb.
Eddie
Tenders
$6.98 lb.
We have our Homemade Sausage as our first sale item this week and we will have some great options for you to choose from! We are very proud of our "traditional" sausages like the Hot or Mild Italian or the Regular Brats but we also do have some flavored options too and you will need to come in to look and see what we have in store for you this week!!

Everyone loved Eddie when he was a butcher here at Casey's. He was the nicest guy that loved cooking and people and it showed. What he also brought to the store was his incredible marinade of soy sauce, cilantro, garlic, fresh squeezed lime juice and brown sugar. This marinade is so good that we named one of the creations after him!! The Eddie Tenders are pieces of pork tenderloin on a skewer that is marinated in Eddie's World Famous Sauce! They truly are delicious and only take a short time on the grill or in the oven to make! Plus, who doesn't like meat on a stick?
Sale items for Mike's Market:
(Prices good in Villa Park only)
Fresh Atlantic
Cod Fillets
$19.98 lb.
Bacon/Cornbread Pork Cutlets
$5.98 lb.
Atlantic Cod is one of the world's most widely used fish around and most popular for making fish & chips but Cod does not have to be fried and served with "chips" to be good. Cod can also be baked, grilled or sauteed and be just as delicious, but if you are now thinking only of fish and chips, here is a recipe option for that too.

A sure sign that fall is here is the return of our Bacon/Cornbread Stuffed Pork Cutlets. This is an item that has somewhat of a cult following that awaits the return every year, kind of like the McRib (only these are made with actual pork). Not only do we use a tender and delicious cut of pork that has been tenderized but the stuffing we add is a delicious cornbread stuffing we make with added corn and MORE BACON!! Then we add a corn flake crumb breading and another slice of bacon to top it off. Now, you are ready to simply just bake these at 325 for about 40-45 minutes and dinner is ready!

Homemade
Pulled Pork
$6.98 lb.
I love Pulled Pork, possibly more than I should. It is by far one of my favorite things to get at any BBQ restaurant I go to. That does not necessarily make me a Pulled Pork expert, but I do know that one of the best Pulled Pork's I have tried is made right here in our little store. Starting with some good pork does help but what our kitchen staff has come up with as far as spices and BBQ sauce is really is outstanding and I am sure that you will agree that our Pulled Pork should be at the top of your list too!!
Sale items for Mike's Market:
(Prices good in Villa Park only)

Oven Gold Turkey

Boar's Head American Cheese
$7.98 lb.
Homemade
Grilled Veggies
$6.98 lb.
After recently downsizing our home and having our kids move out of state things at dinner time have changed at our house. Of course, my wife is incredible when it comes to making amazing dinners but after 25+ years of doing that I am trying to help out more, however, I work at a wonderful store that has a lot of wonderful things that take me no time at all to prepare on my night to cook. One of my go-to items is the Homemade Grilled Veggies. It has all the things we like to eat, zucchini, yellow squash, onions, red peppers & carrots AND it is expertly sauteed in a light oil and seasoned ever so perfectly, so why should I mess up the kitchen doing the exact same thing? I find the only hard thing about me using these Grilled Veggies is hiding the Mike's packaging so when I tell my wife I made these all by myself she might believe me. She doesn't. She's too smart for that.
This week's words to live by:
I had an opportunity to visit a few friends and see some concerts this week in New Orleans. It's been a while since I've been and I hope I stay out of trouble this time.:

New Orleans is New Orleans. It's a great city and fun and great food. It's one of those cities that when you are working hard hours like we work, you have to do as much as possible to stay out of trouble. Not much of a problem for me, but in New Orleans, trouble tries so much to find you.
