 JW> You're talking to a guy with a 20 kg bag of rice and a freezer full
 JW> of 28 pound turkeys. I can't help you!
 GJ> You are wise.  According to my relatives in Manila, the price of rice
 GJ> has doubled over the last year.  It has also increased markedly here
 GJ> due to the drought, so more has to be imported, mostly long grain

Rice has doubled here, too.

 GJ> stuff from Thailand.  Getting through the frozen turkeys would be a
 GJ> problem, as it would be difficult to hack off a suitable portion for 2
 GJ> people while leaving the rest frozen.   Perhaps you could put on an
 GJ> Echo picnic with deep-fried turkey as the theme (although that has been
 GJ> done!), or just invite all your in-laws to visit more often.

We had just such an Echo picnic about five years ago. The
fried turkey was very good.

 JM> Neither of those would be a problem, presuming I had

 JM> ugly monstrosities, though they haven't rotted, and
 JM> are still usable in soups and stews. Pity the grower
 JM> didn't have 10-pound sacks.
 GJ> I can't help Joan much, either, except to move the potatoes to the
 GJ> coolest part of the apartment; perhaps the basement would be better.
 GJ> No room there, either?   If they were sweet potatoes she could let the
 GJ> sprouts grow, then eat them as a green vegetable, but I'm not sure

Pointing out that green parts of potatoes have substantial
amounts of poisonous alkaloids including solanine. Sprouts,
eyes, discolored skin, and greens should not be eaten.
