spoke to Sean Dennis about Cookware was: Pick Your <=-
for 6 weeks. As oldest daughter, I had the most responsibility for
keeping the house up--cooking, laundry, etc. Younger siblings helped

Perhaps you should have involked the old camping/trail rule which says something like "if you complain about the cooking -- you cook next

We got a 4 lb corned beef on sale for $2.49 per pound (flat cut). Point
cuts were a $1 cheaper, but we don't care for them. Gail will do it for
St. Patricks day on the 17th. Probably stove top versus crock pot
though.
