Exactly.  When we go out, we usually find places that have excellent
food in good portions for inexpensive... 'Course, that spoils us rotten
for what one normally finds... ;)   But it also means that for the rare
time when we do splurge, we can afford to do it... :)

You just have to keep track of how long certain goodies might stick
around, I'd guess... :)

That's not a bad price for a whole duck.  :)  Farm-raised may be
plumper?

Make room for the picnic leftovers, hunh?  (G)  I'm sure you have some
very interesting things stocked in your freezer, though... :)
