A friend of mine had a great idea for a "cheap" grinder.? She had her husband set up a garbage disposal on a board with a hole cut in it....then puts a bucket underneath.? Every few weeks, she pulls out the contraption, grinds up her food and freezes the extra.? She says it works great...I've never tried it so can't comment myself, but it SOUNDS like a good idea :-) Julie Degen www.caissonkennels.com GSD "Cassie" PAM CH Carousel Farms Caisson VCD1 MX MXJ OF AXP AJP NFP HSAs RN CD TD TC OFA GSD "Yankee" CH Caisson's Unconditional Surrender AX AXJ XF HSAs OFA BC "Radar" HC BTO Masquerade MX MXJ XF HXAs HXBs CD OFA ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2008.
